Papabear, THAT IS a ....

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Vbulletin can be setup to start on any page, however, it's a global setting for everyone. Meaning I can change it to something else. But EVERYONE will have the same thing.Would be nice if users could set a default page upon sign in.
I'd rather not open that can of worms again. It's bitten me in the past.Mind if I start a poll to see what people might want to view in their start page, say 2 week duration...majority wins???????
I only ask this because I use the new posts link ALL the time, so either new posts or "today's threads" would be a good home page for me. I never use the activity stream, just my personal opinion, but I don't see the point of it.
Again, that's the old CMPS that no longer exists. There might be some tweaking I can do with CMS, but don't expect the old main page to ever come back. Again "new threads" is a great tool.I'd like it if the main page(what you get when you click on the "steelsoldiers") was the "today's posts", like it was on the old site. It would also be nice if it was 24hr long page, like we previously had.
I'm honestly not even familiar with that. I will have to check to see if it was a addon or a modification that allowed that functionality. If it's a template modification, I'll see if I can make it happen once more. (If it's another addon, I'm going to pass honestly)One other thing I miss, but it's not a big deal and I can live without it...I just want to bring it to you attention though. Is the "forum jump" drop down that used to be at the bottom of the page right below the posts or threads you were viewing. Like I said, it's not a big deal, but I find myself using it quite a bit doing my moderator duties.
I can't express my gratitude enough on how good of a job you did with the upgrade. It was really pretty painless, and the actual "real" problems were few and far between. You did a wonderful job. Thanks again to you for all that you do, and to Chris for wanting to continue to improve the site
love this function ["New Posts"] - it's where I go first too. However ( I know - here it comes...)Again "new threads" is a great tool.
I also noticed that my and others older youtube links no longer work.

Speaking about links in posts: what do you suggest is best to avoid those kilometer-long URL's? Or even to post a quick link to an older post/thread/TM/ etc... in a way that the reader would immediately recognize it as a link that can/should be clicked on?.............. Previously the site had at least 6 different addons that handled different formats of links. I'm not going down that path again.
We get it, advertisements are annoying!
