Things look a little different huh?

The upgrade is complete. Some things still needing to be addressed:

  • Wiki Articles (This is a port over job, will be addressed as time allows)
  • Chat Room New chat is up, but not 100% yet. Waiting on license.
  • Upgrade account page (Currently only setup for Paypal, awaiting feedback from Chris) Operational again, more to come.

As time goes on, I'll revisit the following:
  • New member map DONE
  • Google search tool Nearly Ready
  • Social integration (facebook)

Please report any issue you find as well. Please note, the old navigation screen is gone from the site and will not return. Please view the "Latest Threads" column below the GL ad on the left.

Nice upgrade, but kind of miss the general overview of all the "active" threads. Bet fewer people with view certain categories because they are no longer up front, then again I was happy with the original, years ago format....

That was from CMPS. An add on to the site that has been decommissioned. vB 4.X comes with it's own content management system. The CMPS page that everyone else used is gone and not coming back. However, vB has a neat "What's New?" button that will provide you with an overview of what everyone is up to. (Outside the new thread button as well)

Caught another issue, vB 4.2 cron jobs notifications. We're back to the instant mailing setting now.

I fear that may be a bone of contention with many folks. I know that was my primary navagation point. So far so good. Did have to toss the old cookies before I could reply to a post.

Understood, but CMPS is not ever going to come back again. Never. Nada. Nope. No.

There's the what's new button that gives you a similar output, along with the same output in the left column from the main page.

I didn't realize that tossing cookies was required. I'll be back in a few minutes.

There, all better now.

When did I have corn?

I did find what may not be a bug but it is an annoyance. If I look at the activity stream page Bjorn's avatar extends out far enough with the background that you cannot read the first part of his posts.

Here is something else I just found. When I went to private messages and tried to delete something about DH banning me the font color is too close to background color. :)

I also can't figure out how to upload a pic of said problem. That's secondary though.......

Contrast is on the list. The graphics guy will help clear that up soon.

Use the go advanced to get to a reply screen where you can upload attachments.

Now onto what I wanted to post to begin with...


Do all of the posts have to be "center" justified? It's kind of a PITA to read. Especially if you are making a list of bullet points in a post...look at Ron's one post in the 2013 planning thread in the admin section
