slngsht Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I'm playing around with vBulletin. For those of you who are not forum junkies, vBulletin is by far the best forum software out there. I probably should have upgraded to it last time. For now, I'm looking at how a test migration would go. vBulletin has a FAR superior search feature, a ton of admin functionality that we lack now (like merging threads), and just better all around reliability. We've had off and on problems with link management on this forum (some pop up a new window, others just go to a new page in the forum window), some strange log-in problems for some users, etc... Anyway, I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
mb230s Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 That would be great! I've found this site painful to use compared to vBulletin.
slngsht Posted February 18, 2009 Author Posted February 18, 2009 i need a couple of volunteers to help test the new forum. just post here and i'll PM you tomorrow.
JohnCh Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Happy to give it a go. I’m currently running IE8 RC1 which does have some problems with certain implementations of Vbulletin. It might be useful if people who volunteer also mention their browser type so we can attempt to cover all the bases. -John
scannon Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I'll volunteer. I'm running Mozilla Firefox 5.0 Skip
Arya Ebrahimi Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 I rarely am asked if I want to test something around here, it's more of an assumption, but I'll put my name down as a volunteer so I feel better about myself. LOL
S1Steve Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 Mazda, I am not sure what it is, but I will try it. If I can figure it out, everyone else will get it.:lol: Steve
Boxologist Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 i can spam the new board tomorrow morning while being inefficient.
MHKflyer52 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Hi Mazda, I am open to trying the new forum. Just got a new laptop to try it with so no problems with old files. Martin
slngsht Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 you have PM's from "ForumAdmin". Please don't post any links on this forum. I will post a new link on the vBulletin version to discuss features / problems. Anything you post there will NOT show up here, and any new posts here do not show up there. See you on the other side.
slngsht Posted February 19, 2009 Author Posted February 19, 2009 Look for a new thread called "WELCOME TESTERS" on the other side
