Christopher Marks Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Would you like the forum software to be upgraded to a faster system, with many more features and functions, such as polls? I'm in the mood for something new...so tell me if you'd like to see it too! The new system would be vBulletin software, similar to what is used on Reefcentral, reefland, reefaquariumguide, and many others. Link to comment
eferna Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 change is always good, but there comes the ups and downs with it. The major down is if the migration over to the new message board will be smooth. We may loose all our post, images etc.. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Everything will be converted over. Only a few small things might get lost. All important things like members, topics, threads, forums, etc will be moved smoothly. Link to comment
eferna Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I say go for it then. Count my vote in favour for a new forum. Link to comment
BustytheSnowMaam Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 This reply probably won't help much but I like this format much better than Reef Central's. Tasha Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 I'm really shooting for some added functions and speed, as well as security. This current system is not very stable, and it sometimes 'loses' posts. But I agree with you Tashayar. I am going to do my best to simplify the looks of it, and make it somewhat similar to this board. I've also tried to convert this forum to some other software types with no luck. It seems as though vB has the best conversion system. Link to comment
DAndrews Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Instead of switching to a whole new system, why not get iB 3.1? Much more feature rich than the buggy 2.XX version your running now. If you want some info or help on it, give me a holler. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I agree with tashayar, I like the format we currently have... but, if it's to help add function and speed, I'd say go for it. The only thing I'd like to stay the same is the color scheme we currently have, it's easy on the eyes.. Link to comment
Metznreef Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 i like the board the way it is and somthing getting lost once in a while really doesn't bother me. if other members would prefer a more stable board, i say go for it. i just like this board because it is so simple to use and understand Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Well, here goes nothing! The board will be closed while I import everything over. The new board will have the ugly default skin for awhile, but I will edit it to make it look like this one. No worries! Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Well, nearly everything was converted over successfully! I think the only major thing lost was the avatars. From this point I'll be working to make the forums look like the rest of the site. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Will we be able to use avators in the future Chris? Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 heh heh...me and NaNoReeFin's post #'s are gone Link to comment

NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I'm starting to like the old message board again... Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 6, 2002 Author Share Posted July 6, 2002 Give it some time! I'm working all night to get settings similar to that of the old. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I actually like the color.. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 How do you change your member title? Link to comment
HuBu Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 try user CP...its just like reef central. hey the page is completely messed up man. the menus are to the right and the edit post is to the left. Link to comment
eferna Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 I like it. Its a little confusing at first, but I am sure we will all get used to it. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Sweet! Everythings starting to look like the old nano-reef again! Except this is the penthouse version... You got me Chris, I like it!! Link to comment
