Thread: Vbulletin 4 :)

Hello guys, we finally updated the forum to vb4. It's been so hard to change the styles to this new version, so please be patiente they are not 100% complete but they are acceptable, just gimme more time, if you see any wrong color, any error or you have a recommendation, please post it on this thread. I have converted 2 styles, negima and dark. I think they are the most important but I dunno if you use another style, I will convert next the most popular one.

Ok let's begin...

The points: it's a new point system so we are like starting over again with them. anyway I gave you 10 points per each post you have, it's a good ammount to start.

The Market: We are using a new mod, the plaza is totally dead and it's not free, so I installed this one, it's new but it looks promising. We still have to add the old gifts and awards, the guy who's programming this mod is still working on it, so it will have more options soon.

Direct Download Anime: I think it could bring more people, let's give it a chance.

I'm so tired, I will edit this thread later explaining what we have new but if you want to try it first you are welcome to do it.

Neat! gonna test stuff now!

Alright, stuff i've noticed:
Switched to the dark skin and
- I don't see the "New Posts" option (for forum posts only)
- Headers in profile comments are invisible (background color: white, text color: white)
- When creating a blog entry, the header input text suffers the same case as the previous (black on black this time)

All seems to be well!

Gift giving is okay.

Does that only affect the Dark skin selo?

i like it though i miss my blue skin whenever it can be added back

Thanks, everything can be changed. have you had problems with the "at least 3 characters" error?

Many features work perfectly, some I might not have rediscovered yet, some have obvious flaws (such as the layout of my own profile page).

Anyways, I specifically wanted to give a bit of positive feedback: the "View Site Leaders" quick link is a great thing.

Also, I like the possibility for blogging, but will not praise it before testing it.

yes as a matter of fact, i am. the firt post i tried was totally erased and it was somewhat long. hopefully this works this time. if not, ima kill joo style.

anyway, like sonic said, im none too fond of hte tiny user names and titles, and the button changes were wierd. i actually had to look for them. but in the good side, quoteing seems as easy as always and my load times better than normal. Rawk

I like the layout of it all, using basic blue theme, looks good, had to change my homepage that url didn't work anymore. I agree the smaller text in places is a bad thing, maybe it should be enlarged a bit. Plus, just now, trying to post this, it gave me an error saying I need to lengthen my message by 3 characters...lol That could be good in the way of stopping one word spam but also a small annoyance.

The new points, yeah could be an issue when awards come around, I may not have enough, where I had plenty before.

Edit: That posting error, saying I need to lengthen my posts by 3 characters, its happened several times in different sections, no matter how much I seem to type. O_o

Congratulations on VB 4
quick post has some errors btw

Ok I uninstall something in the quick reply box. please tell if you still recieve the 3 characters error. thanks

2. Repost/bump (same date):

*facepalm*

All URLs have changed.

I had a large collection of precious AnimeB bookmarks, linking both to topics and to single messages. All nullified, "Ara ara!"

I could somehow live with this, especially since every thread and message has a numeric identifier code. (Seemingly at least the thread ID numbers have not changed. And why would they have, is the point of an identifier not to identify?) I am sure we could work out a way to recover what I lost.

But.

Internal links within the site have been smashed, too. Just last week Hinarei mentioned how he locks redundant topics and links them to relevant ones. All his work gone, not just mine, and many others'.

Now I am in no hurry to have this fixed. It is more important to get the basic everyday-use functions working, the site can do without a history for some weeks or even months. But I do demand that this site-wide administrational problem be taken seriously, and definitely no new structures should be built on the current URLs until we have an idea of how to fix this.

I wonder if the solution will be more like reverting the URL system, or just mass-recreating the old URLs and introducing them as secondary ones with some kind of redirecting method.

Is there a way to change all internal URLs on the site to the new verions wholesale? Perhaps with an add-on?

It's got a nice feel to it, going to have to get used to it, but it seems pretty nice

Edit: ...For some reason my sig seems bigger now > >

i was poking around looking for a option to fix the links and cant find it maybe style will have better luck

Several sig links are broken now too I feel this has something to do with the ebil "friendly URLs" we implemented. SEO tricksies have come back to haunt us!

I'm not sure if you can force such an add-on to retroactively change URLs. I'd be surprised if there was anything like this feature out there. Chuffed, but surprised

Also annoying editing people's profiles. I got lost looking for the link still, it'll all come out in the wash. People are sounding ungrateful!
