Hi all - I updated vbulletin today. As you probably notice, some things aren't quite working right. The update included around 30 versions of vbulletin and took quite a while.

A few things I notice are the smileys and forum banner aren't working right. I'll have to work on that stuff tomorrow.

Please if you encounter other errors, please let me know.

Thanks!

Bliss I know your working on this ...... but work harder .... I hate being confused .... especially at MY age ..... To make myself clear ..... I am lazy .... I'm use to coming into the forums here and clicking on "New Post" and going to read. Now there is only "What's New" and the type and presentation is not very clear. This has nothing to do with all your hard work Bliss, just my habits ..... Life goes on ....

I think the templates need to be updated.

Seem to still be a few bugs present.

Had to post my Missionbug thread via IE as it was impossible to enter a threadtitle with Firefox. Regardless of where I clicked or tabbed to it was impossible to start typing in the title box.

Layout also seems to be all over on my PC.
-new posts button is invisible and hidden in the first post when you click " what's new?"
-Bunch of invisible till highlighted functions , such as "Advanced search"; "Community"; "forum Actions"; "Quick Links" etc
- Some smilie icons seem to be corrupted.

Definitely not high priority stuff, but they do impede forum usability a bit.

I made a new template that's tempory until I can get the rest of it sorted out. Smileys are still broken, but everything else should be fixed.

Bliss I, as all the rest of us, do appreciate your hard work on the foums. But the "NEW POSTS" command is, well, I do not like it. I think you remember the old way and can appreciate where it was better. Still considering I am forum admin over at New Wings and I do not understand most of it, your doing the best you can ...... thanks

Well the forums were updated due to some very serious security updates. Along with those there are many very good updates that came from upgrading versions.

The "What's new" button should act like the old "new posts" section. While the "new posts" section now includes the ability to sort out if you've read the post or not, only if logged in. I like that. Makes it much easier to find posts that I haven't read. I missed many on the old version.

Thanks Bliss, issues I reported are indeed fixed now.

Now just to do the smileys and header image.

Anyone have any experience with paintshop/photoshop? Anyone want to try to make an ATAG header? Maybe Watchman still has the old one? I couldn't draw a stick man with those programs. lol

For some reason the header is gone along with all the smileys. Gonna take a long time to upload and edit them 1 by 1. Boooo!!!

Thank you so much Bliss for the NEW POSTS option again ..... it makes a lazy persons life SO much better .....

@Colander - I love it. Looks proper ATAG. A big picture of a bomb with the evil bunny.

@Chief - I actually fixed something!

@ everyone else - I could probably change the color scheme up a bit, but that's with a big "I may screw up the forums again if I do it clause"! Let me try to get the smileys back 1st.

I've finally sorted out the smileys. Hope you like some of the new ones.

Dunno, Colander. I've been staring at this dropping bomb for half an hour and every single drop has been bang on target! :stunned:

Marmus,

Careful, that last line could be considered offensive/insulting by some of the forum readers.

Question on new forums....I had my android phone set to view your forums in the mobile format....but then clicked " see full site" to view the game stats. How do I get back to the mobile format? It is probably a phone side issue, but thought I'd ask. I have cleared the cache, but no change. Thanks.

You can select mobile from the drop down at the bottom left (scroll all the way down).
