Sounds great, tho I only understood about a third of Marks post! As for Beta-testing, no one is testing me, I KNOW what Soylent Green was you know!

[Sticks]

I was told you only ever test anything in Beta test i you back up your entire hard drive every day.

[rquote=2589116&tid=147817&author=Sticks]The board I am a moderator on here is also vBulletin so I have some experience.

We have an issue that some words are not allowed in thread titles, like time, and that can be really frustrating.

Also newbies if they post a link in their post have their post go into moderation, where a moderator has to approve it. Something I do quite a bit. This is an anti spam feature, as there is also a cute "find all posts by" feature used when we come across spammers.

They have their posts deleted and are then banned.

Two questions for now

when the transition is done, will we have to reregister?

Will we have to reconfigure avatars, over there they are smaller than here and they are not animated like some are?[/rquote]

Re: avatars. Vbulletin avatars are all stored on the server so I think for now we will only import the static non-animated ones for now. We'll decide later whether to allow back animated gifs.

You won't have to re-register, probably just sign into the forum again.

Sounds cool

[Iceman]

FOM you got your request with the arcade!

Everything sounds good vbulletin =

Why don't you use the Today's posts feature ? It's much better !

[Tom]

Will it actually be TiBB or are you launching the new site direction at the same time?

[Jayson]

So long as the layout isn't too different and we are allowed animated avatars then I will be happy.

[andyman]

More ads? I like ads, but i want to see bigger ads!

as long as that bloody oxo one doesnt turn up

[Scarlett.]

Vbulletin is the best forum technology, cant wait for TiBB to be on it

[Brad.]

Ah, I've just seen this, it sounds awesome! Arcade games and live topics are the best two things!

[Sticks]

[rquote=2589118&tid=147817&author=Sticks]Three more questions

You mention this taking some months, any possible clarrification of time scales

When we are ready for the switch over will the forum be locked down to prevent new posts during the switch over, if so how long do you expect that to be.

On a personal note, a while back when improvements had been done, I discovered some of my stories I had done in the creative writing section gained control codes, (possibly because I composed them in word and then pasted them on to TIBB), is there any danger of that happening again.[/rquote]


Just bumping this so the questions don't get left behind.

Also to add, when you are testing, see if you can create a thread with the word time in the subject title. Over on BAUT we can not do that.

[bronaaaa]

YAY.
Sounds while good

[MarkWaldorf]

meh

[Shaun]

hot

[Scarlett.]

Social groups will be the best feature ;]

[Jayson]

Will there be awards on the new board?

[Brad.]

Hopefully not Jay, they were just unneccesary IMO

[Sticks]

They were organised by posters rather than a function of the board

This is also slightly off topic


Anyway, whoever is doing Beta testing, should try and create a thread where the word time is in the subject title. On Baut which is VBulletin it will not let you post such a thread.

[Jayson]

If I am one of them I will try it for you Sticks

I just tried and it works.

[Sticks]

Can you tell us at BAUT what the fix is?

[James]

You'll probably have to login again so...

Can you make sure they have your proper email address registered, or know your password.

Accounts with blank emails won't import into VBulletin...

(but they will really because I will enter a new email address for those members).
