Finally after 35 hours of converting all the info from Ikonboard to vB we are about done. There will be lots of additions and changes to the board in the next few months so if you see any problems then dont think anything of it unless you really thing its a problem and get ahold of me or just post it here.

Some things that might be wrong with the forum and need to be updated by you or by me.

1. Your Signature and Avatars wont work, unless you have it turned off in your Control Panel.
2. Dont be alarmed if you have lost some of your total posts, the conversion isnt perfect and I think it was a small price to pay to get us running on vB.
3. Member Titles arent working yet, I will add to the Old School style skin the Wheels/Stars rating system and get the titles to work.
4. You were all sent new passwords and how to update them. For the 500 members that put in bad emails, your accounts will either be deleted or if you want to contact me via AIM I can may be able to help you out, but please not all 500 of you msg me today
5. Update your Control Panel Options!

I will add more Skins to the forum so you can have a choice on what kind of look you would like for the forum. Of course I will be adding new smiles as the default vB ones suck.

I gotta do some work, so please post if you see anything wrong with the forum that you might want to make me or the members aware of. Thanks!

Just noticed my AIM Screename was in place of the Yahoo screen name so you might want to update that too. Not sure if its like that for everyone.

Also noticed my PM's are gone. Dont know if everyones will be though because i had to wait like 3 hours while everyone Private Msgs got converted.

Is there anyway I can be a MOD? ;)

ya if zilvia needs more mods, I'm down for it. Im on the board 24/7 since I work on the computer ALL DAY LONG.

some other things i've noticed. it doesn't say we've edited a post at the bottom, after we've done so.
also, it's strange seeing the usually ****ing foul mouths of zilvia using astericks instead of cuss words. again, not a big ****ing deal. ;)

vB allows u to edit your post for 5-10 without it saying you have edited it. After that it will show you have edit it, and after 1 hour you cannot change it anymore.

Looking good, good job. what happened to the G-racing rim thread, did it get deleted?

Yeah, I think a couple of the more recent threads were lost in translation. :) A small price to pay, if you ask me, for such a lovely conversion!

you SUCK, bee yotch. my group buy info for the SS brake lines are all gone.. I'm going to SLAP you. just kidding.
anyways, good job. :D
The forum does seem faster although, but does take a bit of getting accustomed to. This seems like the older version of ikonboard. I like the simpler and less cluttered interface. I would hope we can still get all our smileys back and most of out posts back (dont care about the post count). Keep up the good work Mark, props..

MORE SMILIES! Um... how does the member rating work now?

Mark, try to transfer the smilies from the iconboard version. They were much better.

mark , this is good. its finally running at a decent speed. Looks fine to me . Ya they arer not as many smiley icons but what the hey. It looks a whole letter better. I also like the way it allows you to insert a jpg directly from your computer rather than having to use a url.

big props out to you Mark and everyone that helped you.

At first, I just kept thinking that the MODS were updating the forums. I kept getting that damn screen where it says be back in few hrs. Then I checked my email and there was the new Info!

One thing that sucks is that I had a library of some important PM's that had good references in them. Names, numbers, contacts, links, etc. I dont know what to do without them, I shoulve copy and pasted into MS Word and saved them. Well, this will take some time to get used to.

hmm... I seem to be one of those in the extreme minority for whom the board is much slower than it was... but then when everyone complained that it was slow, it was pretty fast for me. It's much slower than it was before for me, but since it was fast before..... *shrug* I'll just say it's slower by comparison to the old board for me.

I DO miss how the old board said not only who left the last reply/thread in a topic AS WELL AS the thread's title.

otherwise it's great! :) (pssst... need more emoticons...)

This may be common knowledge but ummm......how do you log out? I can't seem to find an easily accessible logout link/button thing.

West

If you click "Home" or just go to the main forums page, on the very bottom on the right-hand side, you will see a "Log Out" link.

I wouldn't have know that if you didn't point it out. I barely look at the very bottom. :confused:
