why change it
 

why did you change the original site forum it was great and easy to navigate
didnt you ever here this
IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT

It was broke, they fixed it.

If you spent any amount of time on the old board, you would have seen many problems!! And many more behind the seens!

Gallery alo had some issues, Gallery has also been updated and is already on the new server and is running like a clock!!

The board is also moving to the new server in a week or so, and thwen we will be done with all the hard stuff! We will the start coustomizing this site.

I am sorry that you don't see the any improvements, but as you get use to the new board I am sure it will grow on you!

Yeah . . . I like simplicity of Yabb too, but the board we were using was broke and there was a Lazy site admin (me) who didn't do crap except pay the $6.95/month. Everyday at 7 - 8am EST (4am - 5am PST) omnis (our west coast web hosting service) started running processes that crippled the performance of the board. You're much better off now with Vbulletin, the latest version of Gallery, and some caring administrators who are now hosting this site on their own server.

Board
 

I never had any real issues with the old board but do like the new one also. We'll grow use to it and have that comfy warm feeling again. Nice work MJ and your partner. Billy Mac

The search function on the new board is MUCH faster!!

Ditto the last search was about useless, this one is what a search is supposed to be.

I like the new board...except for two things..I put a signature pic on the old one and on THT, but for the life of me, I can't get one on this one...and I can't do the smilies following the text anymore...it just ain't the same...other than that, the new board's fine...

Reel, go to the CP, scroll to the bottom, and change the editor from basic to advanced...then you'll have smilies again:sod:

Reel try this for the signatures.
This is how I remember doing it.
See if this is any different from the instructions to add signature pictures.
I think this is what I did.
The last time I added the signature picture, it accepted it without resizing.
(by the way go ahead and click "refresh" on your computer for the meanness of it)
click “User CP”
click “Edit Signature”
click and backspace to erase anything in “Preview” and “Edit Signature”
in Signature Picture click “Delete Current Image”, click and backspace to erase anything in “Option 1” and “Option 2”.
Click “Save Signature”
Return to and click “User CP”
click “Edit Signature”
in “Signature Picture” click “Browse” to install picture from computer and install in “Option 2”
In “Option 1” click and backspace to erase anything there
Click “Preview Signature”
See if “Insert Signature Picture” comes up (above “Delete Current Image”), if so click it (if not, picture size requirements will come up and resizing is necessary)
Click “Save Signature”
Your next post should reflect the signature photo.

For the smileys:
There are some smilies available right now, but you have to turn on the window yourself:

Go to user CP -> Edit Options ->

Scroll all the way to the bottom and change Message Editor Interface type to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing."

Click "Save Changes"

The next time you respond to a thread or start a new thread, you should see the smiles table to the right of the message composition box. :D

Slot and tsubaki...thanks guys...I'll go to work on 'em...

Thanks guys, but I do the stuff you say and it just doesn't happen...like I don't see "editor" control at bottom of CP the has basic or advanced setting??...


and tsubaki, I really appreciate it, but if it's gotta be that complicated, I'll just do without ... JEEZEE ....what ever happened to the notion of user friendly??...It shows the picture I've selected on the preview page, but doesn't come up here... FUGGIT!!...

Try to post and see if your simleys work now?? :inlove:

Thanks, MJ...;) ...yup...worx pretty good :up: .... I'm all better now...

I was at one time suspicious that MJ might want us to beg in order to post them and that he has a secret switch on each of us in order to control us.:huh:







But I also believe in aliens, Bigfoot and God too.:D

What it is, is that when we swaped boards we did not pick smileys as ON, so all you guys have to do it yourselfs, All new members will have it by default cause we fixed that error, but it does not fix current members.

Thats the facts jack!:whip:

I'm starting to get the hang of it:up:

I missed the smilies :jump:

This is why, I added all new smileys today!!

:clap::toun::frow::hi::mad::haha::zip::love::clap: bat

Thank MJ.:clap:

i like the new board, but with everything, it just takes getting used too:huh:

Yeah, like a new wife.
No literally the last board was the first one I've been a member of. This new one is even better. It's the easiest one to navigate I've ever been on.

:sod::sod: just because i really feel like doing this sometimes.

OMFG! When i changed my editor to advanced my signature pic showed up. :D

Only sometimes?? You should be trying to update this site and moving it top the new server!!
I almost burned my computer!! And we are not done yet! Still have to move to the new server and its fighting us all the way!!

What do you mean??

Well i read above how to get smilies and when i followed those directions, i got my smilies. So i decided to try one more time to get my signature picture to show up and the "insert signature picture" link showed up. that link wasn't there before. :jump:

the insert picture link must only show up when using advanced editor???

is that true maco??

You guys may be on to something!! These controls are all new to me also, maybe your right? I never tryed to load pic's in sig till I already changed to the smileys.

Good work!! Now all we need is for some one else to have a problem so we can test this theory:huh:

we will have CTT try it when he comes out of hiding :sofa: :)

Delete all your crap and be the test subject!!

You guys are geniuses. Mine works now too. I kept looking for that darn "insert" button but I couldn't find it.

Thanks guys.:up:

HOT DAM, the impass has been breeched. PASS THE WORD!!

Great job. The biker forum I'm on uses VBulletin too.
