New Forum status and feedback

Subsim Monitor · 05-28-06, 03:52 AM

All hear this, Subsim Radio Room forums now converted to commercial software, vBulletin.

New forums are running. There are several tasks left before everything is complete, finishing the Ranks system, adding all the Custom Ranks and avatars, rebuilding the search engine, fully checking the usergroup status. This will be done over the next 24 hours, many thanks for your patience.

All your PMs are in your INBOX, you can move the ones you want to keep in a SAVE folder by going to the control panel, on the left side, "Edit Folders" and add a SAVE folder. Then move what you want. You can also export your PMs to your PC.

Check your signature, you may need to update it. Please limit your signature image size to 400wide by 150 high.

You can change styles by going to the bottom of the forum, left side, a drop down for styles.

In each forum, at the bottom are the Display Options. I plan to change all the forums to show threads over the last 100 days or so, but for now, you may want to have a look at the menu. In the individual forum, bottom.

If you have a problem, question, or observation about something you think needs to be fixed, please post it here

Enjoy!
Neal

Well done, Neal, the new forum looks great!

deadactionman · 05-28-06, 04:56 AM

Cool new look... well done!

I have however noticed that the file

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/smar...ad_dot_new.gif

can't be found and it's messing up the forum page...

Subsim Monitor · 05-28-06, 05:27 AM

fixed, thanks

UglyMowgli · 05-28-06, 05:35 AM

The search function doesn't work.
for example I search the word kilo in the DW section and the search return :

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

OUPPSSS : just read the search engine not yet rebuild, sorry

When do we get our smiley functions back, and why do the post icons have a slight fuzziness about them?

Myxale · 05-28-06, 06:09 AM

Agree, looks pretty nice...will need to get used to the new look...but it rocks already!

Onkel Neal · 05-28-06, 06:14 AM

I'll check back in a few hours and see how things are going.

Smilies, go to your control panel, left side, Edit Options, scroll down, Miscellaneous Options, Message Editor Interface, Enhanced Interface - WYSIWYG
