This is getting some used to :oops:
Have we not got the option of what syle we can have now - if YES - can someone tell me where it is - I can't get on with this colour/layout :shock:
Had to re setup my buddy list too :(
I have found some nice new things to play with though :up:
Indeed, this is horrible!!
Is anyone else only seeing the box to type in for the shout box?

I will install additional styles soon, but not as many as on the old board.
Probably a black one and a simple grey one. Patience, please.
Is anyone else only seeing the box to type in for the shout box?
No text in the shoutbox?
No. I just get a blank space and the shout now box
No forum index? How do you manage to post?
What browser are you using and could you try a different one?
No. I just get a blank space and the shout now box
No not the forum index lol. Just by the sb bit I only have the box to type in and underneath is a blank box.
Deb
Wait, I'm getting there. :mrgreen:
So, in the shoutbox area you just see the input box and no shouts?
Like MOTS, when you're not logged in?
What do you see when you click this link? http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/shoutbox.php?
Got also some troubles with the shoutbox... But i will be patience hahah. See that this is a new PHP verion R. Do think it is great the way you handle this and the forum, must say that!!
But also do think that it is now hard to handle the forum. But it will take some time to get used to it i hope.
The Butcher.
Strange that you have probs with the shoutbox.
Can anybody post a screenshot?
Btw, Tim - you may have noticed that you have lost your custom title "The Butcher".
It got reset during the migration. However, as you have more than 750 posts, you may enter that title yourself now.
Go into your profile (UserCP (http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/usercp.php?)) and look for "Custom Title".

Yes thats all I see.
With that link I go to a seperate page to see sb and then I see 3 posts. and a huge box to type in lol. Should the sb be on a seperate page to view and not the forum page?
Deb
THanks R. Reset it hahaha... I just want that title!! :D
Forum home, categories collapsed with the shoutbox on bottom:
http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/images/vb3screen.jpg
I refreshed a couple of times, then it worked. Did nothing else. Maybe it has to to with IE version or so... don't know.
I have it now. I had to put the proper link to forum in and not just the main site one that brings you here
Thanx R
Deb
Just one more thing.... Can I put smileys in my messages or just at the top?

You will need to adjust the settings in your profile, especially the message posting interface options.
What you are bickering about, is that you can specify special message emoticon which wasn't possible with the old software. That icon has nothing to do with the regular message smilies. You can have as many smilies as before.
I will install additional styles soon, but not as many as on the old board.
Probably a black one and a simple grey one. Patience, please.
There is a black/gold style installed now.
You can select this either by using the "Quick Style Chooser" bottom left corner, or using the UserCP->Edit Options->Forum Skin.
Getting more used to it now... after a day browsing around. Noticed that when you stay on a thread link, in a topic, you will see the first message of it in a little box. Very funny. Found out some more stuff, like newest messages first, etc. Do think that is great!! Will dive deep down into the forums and options hhaha.

In fact, unlike before, you can permanently save all these options now. :shock: :))

BUT Debs - there is a square box on the right hand side of the of this main reply box - it has all of the smilies in
Seems like different people have different problems with the new site :whistle:
R. is their any chance you could add the old layout in as one of the layout options?
Does this help? :))

I'll add a greyish colour scheme soon, but the main layout will not change as there are too may functions hidden in the drop down menus.
It'll take some time to get used to.
That's normal, I needed a few days too. :cool:

I have changed your posting interface now.
You can do that yourself using the control panel here (http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions). Scroll down.

It is a different forum software (vBulletin v3), but same scripting language and the same database.
Fred will be back soon. Very soon. :))
any chance of putting some back to top buttons in, or having some navigation links at the bottom of the page?
i'm too lazy to keep scrolling up to the top to jump back to the main sections

Tried the black layout - that is worse than this one :shock:
I will stick with this one ;)
Hangmans gone :shock:
Will be back slightly different.
Fantastic effort R!
Within a week or two at the most everyone will have gotten used to the new layout and facilities, and the performance, reliability and functionality benefits of the new board will be taken for granted.
There' a hell of a lot of work gone in by yourself to get this set up, so thank you very very very much!!
:D :D :D
smilies sorted now thanks R. :D
..and Tim....for assistance :D
( some of us take a while to work these things out...not being good with computers :oops: )
might just be my machine, but it's not displaying icons for unread threads.
it's trying to tell me i've read all the new things. but when i check the last post date on a topic, i clearly havent read it.
edit.
its showing unread icons for threads added to whilst i'm looking at others. just not those that were added to since i logged off last night.

Inserted a "Back to Top" link on forum view and thread view. See attachments.

The icons indicate posts that are new since your last visit, if you were to leave and then return to the post, it will only show new posts from that interval, not all the posts you haven't yet read.
Yeah, so you're the vb3 professional here. Now go and do some support and answer all these questions. :))
OK, ask away....:p
Very cool R. I just found out the Archives. Think that is great to spit through some topics again from a long time ago!!!
Just testing it out actually. It's been a while since I've been here. (Life caught up to me.) To be honest I like the look here. I guess the only thing I miss is the date of the posts. You could tell how old a thread was by the date on the messages.
Now off to wander . . .
Lady B
The date is still there.
In the forum views, the third column tells you when the last post was made to a thread.
in a topic, look in the top left of each post above the posters name.
Is it no longer possible to delete a post by yourself?
It is, as long as you do it within the 60 minutes time limit.

This is really weard forum... Itīs hard to learn how to use this... But Is there any possibilities to change the color? I donīt like this color...
Check your profile in the UserCP (top left corner) or use the "Quick Style Chooser" bottom left corner.

23 Mar 2005, 18:16
Thanks, R.
R., is it possible that the site is a bit slower then it was with the old program? Mean, i got a 56k6 modem and sometimes it is very slow with loading topics, threats and posts/replys.
I have broadband also, but am finding the site a little slower...
SuperLoafMan
23 Mar 2005, 19:45
Me too....
The database backend is definetly faster than the phpBB one, but as much more information is transferred, it may be a tad slower.
What definetly is causing a slowdown are the signature images. The more signature images are linked from different sites, the more connects have to be done and the more data is transferred. Think about it, this is a message board, not a picture posting board.
As an example, the one above my post has a filesize of 55 kilobytes.

No problem so far, you could have resized it. Nice to see that my subtle hints work. :bleh:
Seriously, I can disable images in signatures and will probably do so some time.

Mmmh ... by clicking on the "Edit Avatar" link in your profile, perhaps? :))

Yeah your hints worked very well R. ;)
I have changed the aviator, it seems alot easier to change the
aviator on this new look site than on the other one. :D
Thanks anyway R.
Working my way through the forum now a little easier R.
Thank you for making this old girl use her brain a little extra :lol:
There's a new greyish style installed.
What do you think?
I have renamed that style to "Light Grey" and have added a "Dark Grey" style.
Dark Grey is using less graphics (no gradients) and thus probably a tad faster. Just check it out. :))
I like the light grey best of them all :-)

R.... maybe it is me, but is the forum time correct? It says 8.30 and over here it is 10.30 so.... euh...am i wrong?

This software actually does work with the correct DST settings.
Check your profile and verify your timezone settings.
Indeed R. Oeps... my fault. Was living in the wrong timezone :D

I have slightly changed the Edit/Quote/Reply buttons by adding a theme matching outline (grey/red/blue).
And finally, I have finished the new buttons for the Hot Dark Grey skin. It looks complete now. Test drive (http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/index.php?s=&styleid=10) it here.
