Board Upgrade - Report Issues Here

Ryan S · 03-10-2006, 06:23 AM

I plan to upgrade the FOFC message board software to the latest version of vBulletin on Saturday Morning (Eastern Time).

The board will be offline while the upgrade is happening. If there are any unforseen problems, I will post details at Skydog's forum and the front page of this site.

Most of the forum styles will be unavailable for a short time until we can reimport them into the new software.

EDIT - http://www.benelou.com/cgi-bin/ikonb...gi?;act=SF;f=2 is the address of Skydog's forum

But people will see ads!

Among other things, this upgrade should get rid of the extraneous characters when cutting and pasting from Microsoft Word.

That is excellent news

Ryan S · 03-10-2006, 05:36 PM

Users may have trouble logging in after the upgrade but I will try to resolve that as quickly as possible.

Ryan S · 03-11-2006, 12:58 PM

Upgrade complete.

the new style is strange...info along the top instead of on the side. is that editable in our CP?

Hurst2112 · 03-11-2006, 01:12 PM

DOLA:

I DO like the quick reply options. I guess the top info bar on each post isn't that bad, just something to get used to.

Yes.

Rizon · 03-11-2006, 01:17 PM

Sweet, now the thread list doesn't jump to the top everytime you go back, it remembers where you were. I can now surf the 1st page 23% faster.

Airhog · 03-11-2006, 01:20 PM

The board seems faster now. Maybe it just because there isnt much traffic yet...

Eaglesfan27 · 03-11-2006, 01:22 PM

Thanks for the hard work, Ryan

I will look into it.

That was my plan

Poli · 03-11-2006, 02:37 PM

Ryan, post details are on top now, though in User CP options I have placed it on the left. Is there something new or different I have to do to get poster details on the left?

Boooo!

I liked having it kick the replied to threads back to the top...

Fixed.

If you prefered the other style (details on top), it will be back as an option soon.

JeeberD · 03-11-2006, 03:30 PM

Thank you, Ryan...

So did I. Now I have to reload to see which threads I've checked and haven't been updated (sometimes I will read a thread, hit back, and it will have been replied to again already), to refresh the list, etc. The other way was very convenient.

MIJB#19 · 03-11-2006, 07:55 PM

I see nothing new.

Oh wait, I do now.

kingfc22 · 03-11-2006, 10:13 PM

Hmmm. I have my WYSIWYG editor on, but when I hit "enter" to create a line break it does not show in my post. There shuold be two line in between this sentence and the last.

kingfc22 · 03-11-2006, 10:31 PM

And now it works.

This is odd.

Just FYI, but I am still not getting details on top. Mine is set to top, but they are on the side

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 01:23 AM

I REALLY like some of the new features...

...now if only we could get the smileys fixed.

I am having the same problem. TEST (this should be on the next line..

SackAttack · 03-12-2006, 01:37 AM

Well, that sucks. The editor tools don't work in Firefox, which means to use them, I have to switch to IE (where the ads bombard me).

This was worth losing part of a Saturday for?

SackAttack · 03-12-2006, 01:38 AM

Dola,

It's also interesting that a different set of smilies displays based on the browser I'm using (the classic tongue smiley in Firefox, the crappy pink one in IE).

Cache issue?

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 01:47 AM

I get the crappy new smilies in Firefox, so that might indeed be a cache issue.

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 01:48 AM

Dola-

Editor tools seem too work fine for me in Firefox as well...

SackAttack · 03-12-2006, 02:02 AM

Not here. I activated them in Firefox and they wouldn't work, but when I went over to IE they worked fine.

JeeberD · 03-12-2006, 02:07 AM

Are you using WYSIWYG or the default editor?

daedalus · 03-12-2006, 09:56 AM

Thank you for all your work for us, Ryan.

The editor tools work when you allow gamespy scripts to be run.

. I especially like the edit feature now (and no, I'm not being mean to jbmagic). And things are far faster. Well done!

Not sure how to fix that one.

[bitching] I've seen some of the good old blurrrrrrring going on when I was trying to scroll down pages before everything was loaded. [/bitching]

Same here. it's set to top but is on the left.

Simms · 03-13-2006, 08:33 AM

Top/Left can be set globally in the admin panel, but it applies to everybody. To make it a user-level option requires additional hacking, which has not yet been fully implemented. I think Ryan's planning to work on that.

Glengoyne · 03-13-2006, 04:28 PM

Where are my line feeds. I'm entering white space between these lines, and it keeps on disappearing. I want my whitespace back!!
