Forum Software Upgraded
 

I have just upgraded us to the latest version of vBulletin. There are several new features, though I'm not exactly sure of them myself. So have a look around and let me know if something is not functioning as it should.

One of the changes are the social group aspects which you can all access using the 'community' link up above.

The cowpats are still missing -perhaps to be restored another time?

Re: Forum Software Upgraded
 

I think this would be better than a cowpat..........:eek:.....and if you get two...this one....:enough:.......?

no community link on the blue theme Gents!

There are 2 "Chat room" links but one has no sub menu.

Re: Forum Software Upgraded
 

Blue theme does not get updated.

OK, fair does but at work I still get issues with red freezing without painting the screen past the grey background, probably our firewall which scans and tweaks all scripting. I also get issues with Blue on IE(5.5) wher todays post link throws the 10 second error more often than not.

The new spelling correction bit has some quirks

My Car for the weekend thread, on the todays posts page its spelt my 'traditional' way, when you click on it it gets corrected!

I didnt even realise they had gone:eek:...took me ages to get a ruddy cowpat!!

Re: Forum Software Upgraded
 

Not right keen on the new upgrade, nw one third is off screen on the
right, I've noticed several other sites have gone the same way, assuming that everyone has a wide screen monitor.

Dammed annoying, having to keep shoving that little rat round the mat,
to see which forum your on.

Retlaw.

Just what I said in the thread 'Slow' ... when you are off line the 'Today's Post' 'aint there .. have to go into each forum, which takes ages.

May put a lot of potential lurkers off from coming on line as a member.

Heres the screen shots, only been like this since yesterday so I assume its the upgrade that has changed it, the Hone - new Post - UserCP used to be at the top of the page, all the blog links have been added since the upgrade.
As you can see it takes up half the 1st page in portrait mode, takes all the screen when in landscape.

Re: Forum Software Upgraded
 

what do you mean retlaw? Usually software works on percentage width of the screen so if your screen is 1024 wide its that wide, on mine its 1920 pixels wide. it shold make no difference whasoever.

Re: Forum Software Upgraded
 

My viewable screen size is 13.25 inches wide x 10.625 inches high,
a quarter of what I used to view, before the upgrade, is now offside.
Lots of web sites have now done this, its The bill gates syndrome,
make every one get a wide screen. tried one, I only gained an inch
in height, got fed up with it for so little gain, so I gave it my daughter.
Just tried altering them pixel thingy's I now need a magnifying glass
to read the print.
Retlaw.
