VBulletin Upgrade

[enry]

Well, since there was some severe vulnerability in VB and since I kept postponing it for other reasons, I bit the bullet and upgraded to the latest VB.

The upload files will not work for now.

It is additionally possible that other stuff may be broken. If so, please let me know. Thanks.

[Aricjm15]

seems alot faster

[enry]

Indeed it does.

[Badger Biker]

I agree with the speed thing.

The formatting of everything on the main page seems a little off. It used to be able to all fit in a window with only up/down scrolling. Now it's side to side scrolling as well.

I like all the purdy GUI changes though.

[Captain KRM P5]

we're all night owls. lol

the look of it is...funny, to me anyways

[Sir Nuke]

Two things...

I click on the "FORUM INDEX" link in the link bar at the top and it takes me NOWHERE.....also the PM ME link in the post on the front page takes you to a CLOSED thread by Dino!...... something is a miss. the only way I got into the forum was to go to the bottom of that misdirected post and use the forum jump.

[Mr. Win]

PM ME has been like that for so long... if you look at katsmp3 youll see a tally thats one point for dino right there.

Secondly homepage takes forever to load i just go straight to User CP now its that much quicker.

third WYSIWYG works 50/50 for me now i can rarely click in the text box im typing in right now, it almost always requires a reload.

fourth usercp doesnt seem to refresh it self its time it loads open.

lastly the edit button is still old school VB graphic... its not the new rounded xp verison looking one.

[twilightprotege]

yeah seams real fast, but can we get something like this?

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/timeslips.php

if you click on the user name, it's just an extension of the user details

[KYMP5]

seems faster so far, i like the new buttons as well

[2K3 MSP]

I can't access the forum index either...And for some reason, the WYSIWYG editor keeps dropping(scrolling) to the very bottom of the page when it refreshes. I just got online, so that's all I noticed. I'd try to help find more, but I can't access the forum;)
Edit: Regarding the forum index part...I can't access it from the main page, but I can access it through one of the threads(ie: newest topics section).

[iLisa]

Lookin' good.. thanks for the upgrade! :)

[KpaBap]

Looking good so far, personally hate the WYSIWYG editor so I don't use it and hope to get the upload files function back eventually :)

Looks like the link off the main page leads to http://www.msprotege.com/forum/adv_index.php

and the correct link to take you to the forum index should be
http://www.msprotege.com/forum/index.php


should be a quick and easy fix ;)

[2K3 MSP]

I re-edited my post:p

Oooohhh...I noticed something new. Now we can go directly to the last post posted on the newest topics section. I like it.

[roni]

Umm. I can't seem to delete posts now.

[warrier04]

it's a welcome change. everything looks good.

[cyomega]

oOoOo color... all of the buttons seem much brighter and, for lack of a better term, XP-like (that can be good or bad, opinions vary)

I'm not sure if this is specific to certain browsers, but the home page is side scrolling for me now, too: Firefox 1.0, OSX

[Kooldino]

Shh. I pulled that prank months ago. He still doesn't know.

[Kooldino]

PM ME has been like that for so long... if you look at katsmp3 youll see a tally thats one point for dino right there.

That silly ho was too lazy to keep updating. SHe still owes me like 2-3 points on there. :(

[Natey]

What's up with the little German flag?

[cyomega]

What... german... flag...?

[Hughes412]

Still having problems with the Forum Index.

[thewrench]

third WYSIWYG works 50/50 for me now i can rarely click in the text box im typing in right now, it almost always requires a reload.

fourth usercp doesnt seem to refresh it self its time it loads open. Also happens when going back to a viewed index. Must hit refresh.

I'm still having these issues in Netscape. Also "who's online" just loops looking for page and never loads.

[apocman]

I can't access the forum index!!!!!!

[Mr. Win]

we could send her countless pms... i know people i can make it happen but we cant talk about here... (glare)

[Kooldino]

LOL@Corwin.

Enry - I keep getting PMs about the Forum Index on the MAIN page not working (the link is wrong). It's looking like you need to edit a php file to fix it, and since I have no idea how things are set up, I'll leave that to you. :D

[gimpo2]

weird, the forum index button works on all the other pages except for the main forum home page

[Natey]

What... german... flag...?
Upper-left, near your name. I see what they're for now, though.

[Natey]

Thumbnails work for me.

[MSP#735]

home page, forum index button!?!?!? wtf

[gimpo2]

hmm thumbnails for attachments work for newly uploaded pics, but the pre-existing ones don't load a thumbnail.. MSP#735 - yeah!

[Kooldino]

The fwd button for PMs is still old school

[anarchistchiken]

The "forum index" link on the top of the page takes me to the home page, not the forum index.

[SkinnyJoint]

so do we lose all the uploaded files or will they come back or?

[Jhova1012]

home page, forum index button!?!?!? wtf

(mswerd)

[FrigginGLI]

(ugh) Dam microsoft and their security problems. Is VB the monopoly on forum software?

[enry]

You are saying the old attachment thumbs are busted.
Let me look into that.

[mazdaspeedpower]

Kooldino's sig on the home page, extends beyond the box, on to the 'latest thread' box...seems to be the length that extends beyond the parameters of a regular page width...that wasn't a problem before. Also, it went down for a few minutes a minute ago, and Forum Index leads to home....i'll report anything else funky i see...just trying to help.

[Rogue]

there are sometimes where i'll get both old and new "icons." Also, with the older version, when I clicked on a thumbnail it would open in a new window (which I liked.) The new version opens the thumbnail in the same window...

thanx
(2thumbs)

[mazdaspeedpower]

does upload work yet? I'll find out in about 5 seconds if it does I suppose.....but all in all, I'm liking the new look alot, and except for a few minor bugs, that are prolly due to my personal comp being fubar, I think everything is going smoothly so far. NICE!!

[mazdaspeedpower]

Well, the uploads work, and the front page seems to look like it used to right now..like, size wise. I think every time I've reloaded today, somethins has changed...lol

[Mr. Win]

id say my WYSIWYG is at 80/20 it works like 80% of the time and the other i cant get it to load... only prob ive seen.

[Mad Hatter]

still have to refresh the user cp page, rather than it refreshing each time I go there?

[bonesmp5]

i cant phuking stand it not refreshing by its self -- i hate view one of the threads just to back out and have it still be high lited as if i was never there -- unless i refresh it myself -------------------> sucks azz :) my 2cents still have to refresh the user cp page, rather than it refreshing each time I go there?

[Mad Hatter]

(werd) Couldn't have put it better myself.

[enry]

The user cp used to periodically refresh automatically?

[enry]

I can always add a Meta tag or JS refresh, but I can't see any place in the admin cp where this option can be set.

[pdhaudio83]

can you bring back user locations in the members list? that would REALLY be a benefit :)

[RyanJayG]

the map thing was a pretty cool function

[bonesmp5]

im not sure what cp stands for -- but here is my 2 cents on whats happening --
Before the upgrades ------ new posts or threads would be highlighted than the rest to show you that it was new for the day -- you go into one and read or post or both -- you would then back page and everything was all ready refreshed --

Know after the upgrades ---- you come in and see a highlighted thread -- you check it out then back page -- but now when you page back -- its either still highlighted or the post you made does not show --- unless we hit the refresh button ourselves --
so everytime i back page -- i have to refresh the page to see any changes -- its just anoying ---

its just wierd that an upgrade caused there to be no auto page refresh -- (screwy)
I can always add a Meta tag or JS refresh, but I can't see any place in the admin cp where this option can be set.

[bonesmp5]

i guess im lucky i have cable --- i really feel sorry for the 56k ers because some of this stuff takes a sec. or 2 to refresh for me -- can you imagine how frustrating it would be to refresh on a 56k line -- Ouch (smash)

[RyanJayG]

actually I like the fact it doesn't refresh until I tell it to... I like to go through that list when I first get on to see if there are any threads I've been posting in that are active. then I go, post or read, then hit the back button and I dont want the list to be updated again, making it hard to find the threads I want.. and I mean, common, how hard is it to hit a button?

[bonesmp5]

dont you use the listed subscriptions option ?? -- that keeps all the threads you posted in -- there is no way you can lose your spot by using it -- i love that option -- (drinks)

[RyanJayG]

ugh... no way.. I post in so many differnt threads... I just look it up via my posts http://www.msprotege.com/forum/search.php?searchid=798203

subscribing and auto e-mail would kill me.. lol

[bonesmp5]

lol -- just turn off the auto email (hear ya)

[RyanJayG]

oh I did like 3 years ago, lol

do people with Mozilla have cookies problems??
Every time I log back on, it doesn't remember - although it's checked that it should.

I logged in, closed my firefox, re-opened, and I'm ok.

[enry]

OK, PHP and Apache were upgraded to latest and greatest, I noticed a big performance boost, let me know.

[Lil Freek]

the problem only occurs with my Firefox at home - this is the only website/message board (of Ikonboard, phpBB and vBulletin) where it does it - but i'll check all my cookies settings, though - could have something messed up in there.

I'm just curious - attachments now open in the same window, is that a new feature or a bug? Not complaining, just wanna make sure it's intended.

[enry]

Honestly, I just upgraded vbb. I guess some genius decided to make changes to the standard behaviors. Or I screwed something up.

[Lil Freek]

that's alright.. i admin with phpBB - i don't understand 1/4 of the stupid design logic that's implemented in the hacks and even the program itself.

[nate0123]

also the hover text on thread links that showed the first few lines of the post no longer work...

[pdhaudio83]

location list in memberlisting PLEEEEEASE :D

[Mad Hatter]

I have to get used to hitting back after opening a pic. I'm used to just closing out the browser window after opening a pic, and I keep closing out my main browser. (doh)
