TCH-Dick Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 We will be upgrading the forums to the latest version of IPB (tentively scheduled for tonight) There may be some downtime of the forums and I just wanted to let everyone know. If we dont get to it tonight it will be done in the next few days during off peak times (over night EST) I'm sure there will be a lot of things that will need to be re "tweaked" once the upgrade is complete so thanks in advance for your patience and understanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Andy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 The main part of the forum upgrade has been completed. We will be sorting out the customised template shortly, as Mike says, thanks in advance for your patience and understanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH-Dick Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Thanks, theres a few things not working that I'm trying to get going again. Let me know if you find anything else so far I have some smilies missing clicking "quote" returns an error fast reply not opening for some ppl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 We are missing some smilies. And when I was reading posts there was an extra set of links at the top of the first post that had three options. ??? [standard] linear I clicked on linear and now the options are gone. How do you get them back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 If fast reply is not opening then you need to check your Board Settings under My Controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 Mine isn't checked but I can click the Fast Reply button and it opens the Fast Reply box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Dick Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) The links Outline · [ Standard ] · Linear+ have shifted from the right to the left and are making the Topic title out of whack.

TCH-Dick Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Well, looks like the new skin is not going to work, which I was afraid would happen. I'll be tweaking everything to get it back to the state it was in prior to switching to the new design a week or so ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be tweaking everything to get it back to the state it was in prior to switching to the new design a week or so ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep it looked fine to me too, just one thing to remember, the CSS and markup changed dramatically from IPB 2.x to 3.x perhaps that's whats causing the problems -- though I didn't notice any!

TCH-Dick Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 yeah, it looked fine but a LOT of functionality was broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I see. I'm sure you will be glad when you get it all sorted out. It doesn't seem to remember which posts I've already read before now. Not all, but some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 What happened to the order of these links at the top of the forum? My Controls · View New Posts · My Assistant · 0 New Messages I don't know how many times I've clicked on My Assistant thinking it was View New Posts. They used to be My Controls · 0 New Messages · View New Posts · My Assistant Not complaining Mike, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borfast Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) I just noticed some of the buttons are still from the old IPB 1.3... EDIT: In case you want to check the look of the 2.0 buttons, I have a clean install of IPB 2.0 here: http://borfast.com/fct/ All posts are in Portuguese, so I'm affraid most of you won't be able to read it but you can still see the buttons Edited December 15, 2004 by TCH-Raul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxturt Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This has some neat features I don't think the previous version had. You did a good job, it looks real nice. <--- is that Super Mike?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellringr Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Mike - a request if I may please. Could you put the little page back that used to pop up when one clicks on View New Posts that had the link in case one was not forwarded? Half the time Firefox doesn't go through so it was very handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFòóFairy Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 A minor error: the % of total forum posts is incorrect when viewing user profiles (in the active stats box and to the right of total cumulative posts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time Firefox doesn't go through so it was very handy. I would if there was some way I could see to re add it. nothing in the set up menu says anything about it A minor error: the % of total forum posts is incorrect when viewing user profiles (in the active stats box and to the right of total cumulative posts). thats something you should mention to the people at IPB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75th Trombone Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 IPB 2.0 == Fantastic. That they pulled a SixApart and started charging on release day with (so far as I could tell) no indication that they were reneging on their "There'll always be the free version" beforehand == bad bad bad.

carbonize Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 IPB 2.0 == Fantastic. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Except I was running a copy of the first IPB2 on my website as an archive for my forum before I switched to phpBB. As it was just an archive I never updated it and I believe it was IPB that was exploited the other day when someone used my site to run a DoS. They used 20GB of bandwidth in about an hour and at $2 for every GB over bandwidth on a 10 GB account I'm stuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
