vBulletin!

[Gand]

Yay, migration is complete!

First, a couple of notes: We have two new skins, thanks to Angelic and Spoony. If you don't like the pink skin, click Profile at the top and change it to Ichigo's Blue.

Now we need your help in two ways:

First of all, please report any problems, suggestions, or comments in this thread. Please be as specific as possible so we can troubleshoot the problem.

Second, I only have $10 so far in donations to help pay for vBulletin. Please help me out here by going to http://ichigos.com/contribute.shtml and clicking on the PayPal button. Anything you can give will really help me out. If you don't have a credit card, a check, money order (or international money order) will work fine. PM me and I'll let you know where to send it.

Enjoy!

[Kou]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for the migration~

[random_tangent]

WE'REEEEE back!

Very nice Gand ^_^

[Fob]

Lol. It almost has that new smell ot it. :D Very Nice, Gand ^_^

[mystery_editor]

mmm, new car smell

Unfortunately, that doesn't work because the list currently only gives me the default setting but no cascade list -- and the list at the bottom of the page works *only* for the current page, not for any pages that I go to afterward. <_<

EDIT: Also, it keeps logging me out every few minutes! (Or, in fact, almost everytime I go to a new page!) And it's much slower to load. I think I liked the Invision board better. It was much more stable than this one. :glare:

It's at the bottom of that page. Unless that was the one you were referring to?

Really? :blink: Seems to work fine for everyone else

[Sukari]

Looking good!

[Ellesig]

Nice~ Thanks Gand and all other admins for all the hard work you guys put in to keep Ichigos running. ^^

[Noir7]

Looks good indeed, but I don't like the square icons (the ones on the main forum page, indicating if there are new posts in a forum or not)

But heck, this is better anyways.

[Syaoran]

:unsure: For some reason, my avatar became humongous on the new board. Is it just the view i would be getting since it is my account, or is there something wrong with it (ie everyone sees it as a gigantic one i am seeing)? Thanks for the help! :)

[Noir7]

lol, that's messed up XD

XD it's huge! Try downloading and re-uploading it.

[Sashiro]

..What happened to the arcade? o.o

[Liquid Feet]

We have a VERY big problem for all our composers out there... :mellow:

Apparently we can't attach MIDIs or MUSs to our posts! Also, I just tried to post a simple 1 page PDF (Which the old board always lets me), but it says that the file is too large! x_x It only says that it can carry 39.1 KB, as opposed to the old board's 500 KB.

Please help Gand, or the composition forum would be far too difficult to use...

okay, I fixed it. mus, mid, mp3 and pdf are all allowed, up to 5MB each

[Madmazda86]

Yargh, I go away for three days and it's all happening! Wow, everyone's usernames look flippin' humongous :blink:

[Neko Koneko]

True that x_x maybe Gand could fix it so that the usernames become a bit smaller?

[Liquid Feet]

Ooooh... thanku thanku thanku! :D

[Madmazda86]

Umum, RP related one... how come topics posted in within the subforums of Chronicles of the Raelian Wars forum aren't coming up as the latest topic when you view the board index? It just makes it tricky to see at a glance whether someone has posted in a chapter in a subforum or not, though it's not a big deal or anything... :think:

[Gand]

There, usernames are a bit more sane now XD

I'm not sure about the last post thing... is it just for old posts or are new posts not showing up either?

[Madmazda86]

Just posted in 3B now and it ain't shown up, it's just got that one stickied thread in the main forum showing and nowt from the subforums :/

[M]

....oo--hhhh......Pretty

[King Ryudo]

nice....me like...

[Sinbios Zefiris Ark]

Testing, testing.

Gand: any idea how I can do remote avatars if my server doesn't support allow_url_fopen?

[Neko Koneko]

There, usernames are a bit more sane now XD

I'm not sure about the last post thing... is it just for old posts or are new posts not showing up either?

Could you make them appear in a bold font though? Looks a bit more clear ;)

[Madmazda86]

Oh no! Members birthdays appear to be no more... :(

Edit: Scrap that, you have to go into calendar to find them now ;)

[aoiryuukishi13]

Ichigos looks... Wierd now... *is having trouble geting usd to new forums...*

[Maestrosetti]

I think I'm going to miss the old forums...oh well.

[Fob]

Aww! It's still the same forums just a different look. Don't worry you'll get used to it soon enough ^_^.

[Neko Koneko]

Ichigos looks... Wierd now... *is having trouble geting usd to new forums...*

How can you say that if it's only been like this for one day? =_=;

[michael]

The new look is awesome.

[Marlon]

I'm not very happy with this change. It takes a very, very long time to load, and how do I post on my compositions back?

I'm so confused! :unsure:

[RD]

I miss the old one, this will take alot of time getting used too...

Also, has any one herd of BLOCKY?! every icon and every word (well not every...) is blocky...

Also, I noticed that my Sig is all messed up (the text part) did the shortcuts for the Smilies change or somthing?

Also, When you use an image for an avatar, it uses its REAL size, so if you have a 1000 X 1000 image, it wont shrink down to 100 X 100, it will show a 1000 X 1000... Im pritty sure that needs to be fixed.

[Fob]

Ok. Everyone seriously needs to relax. Are there all kinds of little problems and bugs here and there? Yes. Is the layout a bit confusing? Yes. (of course it is it's new...) Are these problems getting fixed? Why, yes they are. Will you die if you have to wait a couple of days? NO... You guys need to keep in mind that this is our first day with this. Of course it's not going to be perfect, just give it time. I'm sure Gand is doing all he can do to get everything under control. So just sit back and breathe a little, will ya?

*rant over*

[Roy Mustang]

Yeah I couldn't agree more with Fob. Just give it a chance, a few days, weeks perhaps and I'm sure you'll be used to it already :) I'm already pretty used to it myself and now actually prefer the change over. Sure there are little problems here and there but we can fix them with time.

Give it a go :)

[RD]

well, gand said to post any problem, so I dont see way posting problems is such a bad thing. It just makes it more clear and easier to see whats wrong, instead of having to search around for every problem.

[Roy Mustang]

There's nothing wrong in posting problems at all, its just the pessimistic attitude that a great number of you have adopted in reference to the forum change. That's all.

[RD]

Oh, well sorry if "I" Sounded like it was a bod idea, its just I liked how the old forum was, it was more organised then Vbulletin would ever be. I just need time to settle in :)

[Kou]

er.. "most users online: 495 users at sometime yesterday"

what???

[Fob]

I think it was some kind of bug...that or we got invaded :ph34r:

[RD]

I say we get new Ava's and Sig's in honor of Vbulletin!

[Gand]

I miss the old one, this will take alot of time getting used too...

Also, has any one herd of BLOCKY?! every icon and every word (well not every...) is blocky...
Huh? Some of the icons are square... but text is text, I don't see how that could be 'blocky'.

Also, I noticed that my Sig is all messed up (the text part) did the shortcuts for the Smilies change or somthing?
So fix it... Some of the smilies did change.

Also, When you use an image for an avatar, it uses its REAL size, so if you have a 1000 X 1000 image, it wont shrink down to 100 X 100, it will show a 1000 X 1000... Im pritty sure that needs to be fixed.
It won't let you use upload a 1000x1000 image (or anything over 100x100). Imported images aren't resized, so we'll need to fix those on a case-by-case basis.

[Gand]

er.. "most users online: 495 users at sometime yesterday"

what???
I think it counts bots (like google, etc)... when the forum changed they went bonkers and re-indexed the entire forum, and it recognized them as users. I'll see if I can reset that and make it so bots don't mess with that value.

[Asher]

NNNIIIIICCEEEEEE!!!!!

Hmm...so do i try to resize my avatar (i have no idea how actually, so please teach me if it needs to be so. Gomen! :heh: ) or will you guys be fixing the thing? Thanks!

Syaoran

[Noir7]

Remove it, then re-upload it :)

[Syaoran]

ok, will do it later =) Thanks for the help! Hope it will iron out the problem :)

I have the feeling this place is going to...I have no idea. x_x I dislike this vBulletin place. Invisionboard is better, and it always will be. I fixed every problem I have had so far...

[Spoonpuppet]

Is there a minimum character count for posts? If so, it might be a bit mucked up. Sometimes I post something long-ish (a few lines at least) and yet it says that it's too short.

odd... there's a minimum of 2 characters, but it sounds like it's way more than that. Next time it happens PM me the text you were trying to post and the thread it was in and I'll take a look at it.

[RD]

oh, well im sorry, I dont know these things :)

Well any ways, the swich was good, im fine with it now.

[gedtag]

How come I can't post any attachments? It says that I don't have permission to.

[DarkClone]

Brilliant work Gand. I like how you kept an obvious contrast between the old forums and the new model to keep a sense of familiarity. Great job.

[Gand]

How come I can't post any attachments? It says that I don't have permission to.
You should be able to post attachments in the compositions and art+graphics forums, but nothing else. Let me know if you can't in those forums.

[aoiryuukishi13]

What about the Sheet Music request forums?
I can't post anything there...

Edit: Whoops, sorry about the double post... It was an accident..

[Hiei]

The link to the rules of the forum doesnt work anymore. However the FAQ is still there. Also the guidelines to requesting sheet music was gone as well so i reposted the guidelines. I'm waiting for it to be stickied now.

[Sondagger]

Looks good! Now I have to get used to the new board and set up camp

[Eternal]

yay! I can use it!
man everythign is so shiney...

[Meer]

Using the Spoiler came out really awkward for me.
I'm having lots of trouble adapting too, I think quoting messed up for me and posting images too. I don't know what's going on! x_x

Yup yup, the spoiler tags Gand wrote this time are a bit different.
Onii-chan is watching you.
I'm still adapting, too.

Oddities here and there but this is some powerful stuff.
Thank you Gand. ^_^

[Madmazda86]

I think I preferred the last spoiler tag format, it was useful for hiding large volumes of text - but ach, lump-it-ness ;)

[Gnomish]

I was asked by Ureshii Gaki to inform you that he can no longer post replies, post new topics, or post attachments to existing posts on any forum while He is logged in. Is there a reason for this? Is there a way to get his member status (if that's the problem) out of this rut? I'm sure he'd appreciate a some help. :unsure:

[Gand]

Gnomish: he's in the "users awaiting confirmation email" group. Did he change his email address? If so, he'll need to re-confirm his account by clicking the link in the welcome email. If he did not recieve the email, please have him click the "resend confirmation email" link.

aoiryuukishi13: that's fixed, attachments can be posted there.

Everyone: I changed how attachments are stored, hopefully you won't see any more problems. If you do, please let me know in this thread.

[Gand]

Bleh, I just realized that vB doesn't track gender per default, so it didn't come over from IPB. I added a custom profile field, but all the data is gone from it. Please edit your profile (http://forums.ichigos.com/profile.php?do=editprofile) and select your gender! (assuming you want people to know :unsure: ). It's under Additional Information at the bottom

One of my gripes with the new theme (blue, for me) is that the thread icons between "Read, Hot Topic" and "Unread, Hot Topic" are too similar. I think it'd be better if only unread topics were red and the rest are yellow or gray.

[Neko Koneko]

I still have to fix those things ~_~

On another note, Gand, could you do something so that stuff like "administrator", "moderator" and "banned" are impossible to put as custom member titles? It's quite confusing for some people ~_~

[toki]

lol yeah.. i kinda agree with angelic on that one
despite that im a 'new member' XD
but.. i will change it if it causes any troubles of any kind... just pm me if you want it changed..

[Edwin]

How do I go about inserting Spoiler tags in my posts? I can see the IMG, Hyperlink, Email link, CODE, HTML, PHP and QUOTE tags; but no Spoiler tags. HELP!

[toki]

spoilers is still same same...
so its.. [.spoiler] *insert text* [/spoiler]
but remove that fullstop in the first one... lol.. so that it just says [spoiler]
