Conversion issues *POST HERE*

[fury]

Here's the thread to post issues from the conversion in.

Here's the list of issues not to post about:

• Missing avatar or custom title (just redo them)
• Broken sig (just fix it yourself)
• Ugly style (see below)

Great job!

It looks like everything went real smooth.

Hope ya don't mind me signing up as s4. I liked my old nickname better.

oops...i just noticed that otcentral doesn't update to this page. guess, you weren't ready? i just copied the link from xibase and put otcentral in front of it to get here. sorry.

It's live now

BTW, I know the site looks ugly. the style is the last thing I'm going to finish, after I fix any other issues that happened as a result of the conversion.

How about new post markers?

 

[unclehobart]

is a quickpost window on the agenda?.. or are you just concerned with problems of sheer mechanical failure right now?

 

[fury]

PT: What?

Soon, hobart

 

[PT]

Well, ok, now they are showing up, they didn't on first visit.

 

[fury]

*whew*

It was odd, they showed up on main page, but when I clicked on view new posts, there weren't any, and it showed me a whole bunch of threads, some from last night. Now it seems to be working ok. Sorry.

btw, aside from the Vbulletin logo, I like the look. Of course you'll need a green theme.

I'd like to remind people that VB has the ignore function built-in.

I love it!

 

[PT]

It also has email notification enabled by default, already got 4 emails.

 

[unclehobart]

Thank god you mentioned it... I dont relish a 50 email post notification time bomb ... yuck

 

[Scanty]

what the hell is 'subscribe to thread'? I don't get it.

 

[PT]

They'll send you an email each time there is a response to a thread you posted in. You can turn it off in the user cp.

 

[fury]

You can also subscribe to a thread without replying by clicking the "Subscribe to this thread" button at the bottom

 

[unclehobart]

hmm... logged out and back in and still dont get new post arrows.

Scantastic, Dont worry about thread subscription. I never use it myself. That only really works on stupid huge boards where 100s come through and can bury posts in a heartbeat. Its like a tagging function where you can quickly find stuff in the future.

1. I set the option to 'no' on the email notification of replies thing. But when fury posted on my 'omg' thread, I still got an email.

2. Have we just lost all the private messages we ever had, then?

 

[PT]

Yes, and even if you turn off "Email notification" you can still subcribe to threads that you want to be notified about.

 

[Scanty]

it didn't work, turning off the emal notification. I still got an email.

 

[PT]

When you first click on User cp, down at the bottom you'll have to unsubscribe to the threads you already posted in.

I still had my PM's
