Forum Software Upgraded!

[Locke Cole]

Hello everyone;

As you may or may not notice, our forum software has just gotten a major rehaul to the latest version of vBulletin. If you encounter any errors or problems, or notice anything missing, please let us know in this thread. You may also notice some new features being added in the coming days.

Addon Installed: Personal Notepad

As per request of Silver, I have installed the vBulletin addon above. This creates a spare scribble-box in your user options page, where you can privately leave notes and reminders for yourself, as you please. Simple, but efficient. Enjoy :)

Also, if you didn't notice or read the global announcement, we added the NoSpam! addon and opened registrations again. The addon is basically what we had talked about a good while back, bunch of rotating questions that any human should be able to answer easily, but entirely customizable so preconfigured bots should not get in.

This are indeed very good news, we will have to bring people to here then :)

Addon Installed: Who's Visited Today

We had this on our previous version of the board, but it was lost in the upgrade. Shows on the front page of the forum who has visited the forums since midnight.

One small issue I've noticed so far (and this may only happen in Opera - I'm too lazy to check in FF and IE :p ): When typing a post in advanced mode, if I click "more" to see more smilies (on the right side), the popup windows is sized incorrectly (too small). I have to resize it in order to see all the smilies.

That was a problem back when we first installed the vbulletin, and as I recall it was an easy fix, but it was a pain in the ass to find the spot where that line of code is.

Actually, when we upgraded our 'more smilies' box lost its modifications, which included a categories dropdown box so the whole pile of smilies didn't load up at once. I am planning to find an updated version of this mod and installing it when I get a chance.
