FTR Upgrading Forum to vBulletin

[bikes]

wtf is this shit?

[Xianti]

can't say I like what it does to my screen width much...I hate horizontal scrolling

I don't get the horizontal scrolling myself. Do you have a resolution width less than 1024?

[Xianti]

IE likes it better than Firefox...got a bug that keeps popping me back to the top of the thread after I post in Firefox

Yeah. I just noticed this. Seems to be when replying to a post and being redirected.

[Xianti]

It seems to get stuck in a refresh loop after being redirected. Keeps reloading the page.

[Warpe]

no. horizontal scrolling is in this thread b/c of your huge screen shot post

[Warpe]

totally think you should lose the left nav now...it's just a waste of space when you're reading a thread in the forum

[IowaSkinsFan]

Yep me too

[UG]

So far it sucks but I'll give it time....I'm having all of the same problems that have been posted before, although I'm seeing avatars...


I will say one thing, it's waaaaaaaaaaay faster than the old forum, so as long as the bugs get fixed I'm all for this.

[Xianti]

Please bear with us while we work out all the bugs. We felt that it is much faster to identify and troubleshoot at this stage while live rather than try to find the bugs in the vacuum of a test forum.

Please post all issues in this thread:

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience.

[flomo]

i editted my options and still can't pm.

i was trying to pm xianti.

[BankItDrew]

quick reply doesn't work

am able to edit functions like avatar and stuff, but it doesn't carry over into the threads

[Galapogos]

Are you ever going to implement that feature 2p2 has that shrinks images down to screen size if they're too large? I always liked that one.

[jyms]

still need to F5 a ton to get the threads with new posts to update. If shows a new thread in the main forum, but the posts and threads don't show unless I refresh. even after I posted this myself, I need to F5 to look at my post

[Hawk]

[ ] Likely to happen

[x] Happened

Looks great in Chrome, but I'm also getting no avatars/sigs in Firefox.

And it looks the Quote button only quotes the post you clicked quote on, not what was quoted in it. quote.

I'm loving how fast pages are loading!

this is a must

[XTR1000]

much faster, looks nice, but I cant PM.

[XTR1000]

oh and i want my avatar back!

[Keith]

did the edit options thingy .....and noticed that Private messages seems to be turned off now by default...... turned them on and now get private message stuff next to profile at the top.....Also turned on full WYSIWYG text editor rather than the simple text box .

[kevster]

Go to Profile - Edit Options. Under Visible Post Elements, do you have all 3 checked? If not, check them.

Does that work?

Doing this means that pics work for me. Avatars seem to work in some threads and not others - is that possible?

Converted hands look pretty screwed.

Speed increase much appreciated and new layout is great.

[Keith]

Now that I've got avatars turned on .....Is there anyway to get rid of the line that appears above the text of a reply ....with the avatars on this can be quite a way down the box and seems as though its a header /text/ footer type layout

[ChrisBCritter]

The "View your Posts" works differently now. I liked the old way better that it shows the most recent updates on threads that you have participated in.

Oh and Avatars/pics are not working; though I'll check my settings now...

[jyms]

Can't get the first post up top, all the options still won't change like the forum won't let me change the defaults. Firefox for now.

Fuck I hate last post first, reading upwards sucks then having to scroll to the bottom to post.

[jyms]

Ok after posting once they all turned on, interesting, I think it's just a refreshing problem

Spacing is still weird gmml, all the one line posts are at the bottom by the sig's

[jyms]

The all the pic links come back after I refresh the lol pics thread. It seems to just be a refreshing problem for most of the sites issues gmml.

[bigred]

i think i've hit the refresh button more in the last hour than my whole lifetime of internet use

[wufwugy]

still down?

[wufwugy]

weird, wouldn't update for me till i posted

[wufwugy]

Wuf, pics seem fine to me, what is broken for you?

all pics appear to have no img tags on them

also, when i click on this thread title it only showed the first page, but if i click on page 2 instead of the title it showed options for page 1 and 3

[wufwugy]

wait, nm on the images, it was a profile issue

[rong]

The good: It's fast, really fast. woohoo!

The bad:
- Hmmm, avatars were working earlier but aren't now.
- There's no page selection at the top of the thread, only at the bootom.
- It looks too... I dunno.... square? No, that's not it, but whatever it is, it's no where near as aesthetically pleasing as it was. And the colours seem bland. It just looks dull.

But lets not forget the good, it's fast! Which is far more important than looks.

[Jason]

Ironically, in 2006 I specifically joined FTP because it was PhpBB and I HATED 2+2's forum which may or may not have been vBulletin @ the time. I still like PhpBB better but I can get used to this, too.

Yea I am sure the aesthetic part will be taken care of for sure, little adds and shit will surely be done once X and gmml get the problems fixed.

Admins, For now I am still having to refresh a ton to see new posts and I get that reload loop a ton opening threads to new tabs and need to refresh the page to get it to stop, I am clicking on the newest post option from "view posts since last visit" in FF still for now

[wufwugy]

seems to be a problem with posting url

[realadmin]

test test test

[BooG690]

ldo ldo ldo ldo

WHEEEEEEEEE

[realadmin]

Guys, please everyone clear your cache! I think the refresh bug is gone now.

It still might not be 100% worked out with forums, but threads should be okay. We're looking deeper into the forum issue.

[realadmin]

reply test

[UG]

text not being at the top of replies sucks!

[UG]

goddamn I love the speed of this, though

[badgers]

i love how fast this is but there are a few niggles. I don't really like how the size of the avatar changes the margin. I don't know how to explain this better, but for example bode's posts begin a lot further to the left than xtr's and hawkfan's. I just think it looks really untidy...

Also, when opening a thread for some reason it was using the cached version in my browser instead of reloading the page and therefore loading the new posts. I have to press refresh to update the page. This hasn't happened for a while though so I don't know if you've done something to fix this already?

oh sorry i was reading page 2. GJ on fixing this

[BooG690]

There has to be some kind of post orientation settings for this message board.

Please look for "Vertical orientation." It is probably on "centered." Change it to "top." EZGAME

[bode]

racist ban

[Warpe]

running good in FF, lookin good too

nice job guys!

yay no more waiting for threads to load!!!

[Luco]

racist ban

I fucking lol'd. Also, wtf no more quote tunnels? Multiquote doesn't quite cut it imo

Please to be fixing the height width and orientation of everything, this is like Picasso sponsored ftr

[Kits]

Me likey. Fixed profile settings and had to F5 a couple of times but speed is goooooooood.

[jjbish]

So much faster now. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Couldn't get anything to refresh yesterday, but alls well today.

[Galapogos]

Does the view new posts work for anyone? Everytime I choose that button I get taken to the first area in the thread where I ended up the first time I hit view new posts for that particular thread. And everything shows up as new now.

[jyms]

I had an issue with view posts since last visit till I refreshed it. I had to change my shortcut too since I have that saved in my browser bar.

[Warpe]

yeah, I typically go from the "View posts since last visit" results to a thread I want to read then hit the back button to go back the results, but the thread I've just visited doesn't unbold. minor issue though. I'm totally loving the speed.

[jyms]

yea I go down the list and open alll the thraeads I want to read in new tabs, then I have to hit the button to bring up the list again and hit F5 to get the bolded type out of the way. GMML is still working on the main forum pages refreshing far as I know

[givememyleg]

Starting to look more like home with the FTR spade icons added.

Threads should also refresh correctly now as well, need to clear cache. If anyone is still having an issue with that, let me know.

[bode]

any way we can get links to look different from regular text? obv it underlines when you hover over it, but its easy to miss some links entirely.

[bode]

also, posts seem to count in all forums now?

[a500lbgorilla]

whaaaaat?

[OhioRounder]

Loads much faster than before but pretty much everything else about it sucks. phpbb3 > vbulletin

[jyms]

Aesthetics aside since gmml is working on them, I'm lovin the vBulletin

[wufwugy]

I'm surprised the move wasn't sooner. vBulletin seems to be pretty standard. I would guess there will be a gradual increase in traffic around here too. The lag was just awful

Also, might I suggest making url links colored for the easy spotting

[BooG690]

Please fix the vertical orientation to top...not center. This is tilting me so hard.

[Kits]

Me too.

lol nerd rage!

Loving the new forum speed, except for the look (for now obv since the admins said they are working on it). One thing, the avatars aren't working for me, anyone else? Also, how do I get it to send me an email when someone makes a post? I have my email info down in my profile, but I don't see anything in there that'll do it.

[dranger7070]

I fail hard, should have read page 2 first lmfao.

[BankItDrew]

great job on the site guys

[BankItDrew]

FTR security could use an upgrade

[a500lbgorilla]

I'm all the security you need.

[BankItDrew]

well played

[wufwugy]

Apparently rilla gave you the optical pat-down, determined you were not a security risk, then cleared you for passage

[Muzzard]

+1 for the improved speed

But it looks a little unsightly, sure this will be fixed soon.
Also on the homepage, the forum topics displayed don't update correctly.

[jyms]

Seems to be a lot of problems with " quotes" in text where it looks like things are copied and pasted or are converted from another format. In quick reply they seem fine.

[Chelle]

i hate this!!


i had an awesome avatar now its gone

[jyms]

Read the thread Chelle. You need to adjust your profile and clear the cache

[XTR1000]

ldo ldo ldo ldo

WHEEEEEEEEE

holla!

[Chelle]

Yay I figured it out!!!
