vBulletin 4.0

[Fury Diamond]

We will be upgrading to the latest version of vBulletin early next week (maybe even this weekend).

This is a major update in the forum software so I'm sure we can expect some maintenance issues, such as our custom skin/banner layout system. We will do our best to address these issues with minimal downtime.

Check out the new features:
http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features

[NCBradin]

Fury Diamond,

Are we expected to see MORE forum topics to talking about or just going to be the same? Can't believe that this forum will be powered by VBulletin, which is my favorite! Uh, um, why don't you take a look at star trek forum which is powered by VBulletin? Look at their beautiful skin.

That should attract more people to join this forum. Oh, we would need more mods here, though.

[ForeverBlue]

NCBradin, this board is already on Vbulletin and its been like that since the board was made and open. Its just a upgrade to the new version

[NCBradin]

Really? How come it never said, "Rangercrew powered by vBulletin"?

[DarkBlaze]

Well, it's pretty clear that it's powered by VBullitin. Those of who are familiar with communities, pretty much should know a VBullitin board when we see one.

[ForeverBlue]

Its pretty easy to know that its a vbulletin by looking at it (whatever board your at that is including this one) without the Powered by Vbulletin part at the bottom :p

[Fury Diamond]

Decided to upgrade to vBulletin early so we can try to spot out any issues before the weekend. Enjoy the new features. I am currently working on renewing the layout system. It's going to take a lot of work to convert them over. Post here if you see any bugs.

[Digifiend]

Bloomin' eck, didn't see this thread before the downtime, and I've been wondering what was going on. Has the Arcade gone?

[Mr. Gold]

Question, how do I change the banners? I can no longer find the option in my settings that allows me to change banners.

[Quark]

I don't like change. It frightens me.

[mnikolic]

Well, the skin still needs some work. The forum rules are all blacked out on the forum rules page, as well as the quoted posts in threads and some text in some other parts of the board.

But overall, I like the new vB. Nice job, FD!

[DigiRanger]

I don't like change. It frightens me.

I agree, the change is strange. And like Digifiend before me, I did not see this thread before.

[LadyWingKnight]

I don't like it. I want my jf banner back

[Fang RX]

Agreed....I like the old one better. I honsetly can't get used to this.

[Deker]

I'm actually rather surprised to see the forum converted to VB 4 so soon. Mainly because most of the hacks that were available on here before have not yet been converted to VB4. Not only that, but because the skins right now look all funked up. Some areas are difficult to read. And VB will be going Gold in a few days (as it's in RC at the moment), which means the forums will need to be updated again in the next few days. Which means that any changes made now, could be affected by the Gold release.

Vbulletin 4 is a complete re-write of the Vbulletin software. Mods from the previous version of VB will not work on VB 4 and skins will need to be re-done. Which means some of the mods will need to be waited on until they are updated to VB 4, which depending on the coder could be a short period of time. And the skins, well, they will take a bit of work too.

So yeah, I'm a bit surprised to see this so soon.

[GokaiPink]

I do not like this layout. It just bothers me lol. I'm used to the other one cause it was easy to work with lol. This one just makes my head spin.

[DarkBlaze]

As of right now, I'm not pleased with the update. Like Mesogog said, this is quite surprising to see the change happen so soon. Perhaps, and this is just my two cents, the update should have waited until glitches and what not were 100% non-existent (or close to it).

[Fang RX]

I do not like this layout. It just bothers me lol. I'm used to the other one cause it was easy to work with lol. This one just makes my head spin.

Exactly! This is migraine inducing. I can't look at this for too long. Damn....

[Deker]

I mean I know considering some of the updates I originally made to PRE that I should be the last to talk. But going from VB 3 to VB 4 isn't a small change. A LOT changed since it's a re-write. I'm sure these things will get fixed, but I honestly wouldn't expect some of the mods and features back for a short while at least. I'm sure Fury Diamond will fix the skin problems, but the skins themselves changed from VB 3 to VB4. They were re-written too. What used to be easy to edit, now is a bit more complicated. I can say that from experience with it. It's changed and some of this will take FD a small bit of time to re-adjust to. So patience will be needed.

[mnikolic]

You're absolutely right. I'm still getting used to the vB 4 on your new board.

[Deker]

You're absolutely right. I'm still getting used to the vB 4 on your new board.

And so am I. lol.

Some things on this forum will however be different than mine, as I'm doing a bit more customizing to mine. :)

[Huzzah]

Dude...this new layout/setup sux...seriously...it just doesn't look good at all. I tried typing a message to one of my friends, and the text didn't appear...even after chaging the font color...

[Fury Diamond]

I got more of the default color layout done. VB4's skin process is far more detailed than VB3's. We will do our best to have these issues completed as soon as possible.

[Beast King]

It looks awesome though.

[Thrax]

Looks cool !!!

[Digifiend]

Smileys aren't showing up properly on the new reply page, and some of them are the vBulletin defaults instead of our normal larger designs. :) :p :D :cool:

Those four smilies are fixed I see, thanks.

[DarkBlaze]

Now this skin is much better. I'm sure once FD gets used to the upgrade, everything will running smoothly again. But this is nice! :)

[BlueSenturion]

I shall be honest as I always was.


Can we get the RangerCast V1 skin back aand have it as well?

This one is an absolute piece of c....rayon... I mean... It is poor...

[Fury Diamond]

I'll try my best to port the RCV1 skin back. My priority is first getting the Layout System working for RCV2 and I'm hoping that RCV1 shouldn't be a problem after that.

[BlueSenturion]

Much appreciated FD, I can't get used to this... It looks damn bad...

[Reaper]

Hmm, strange........ How do i access my subscriptions? I'm confuzzled??

[Fury Diamond]

Feel free to comment on certain elements that are "bad". This will assist me in getting the base layout looking proper. One major feedback was everything was too bright, so I decided to tone it done with a monochromatic method (light gray, gray)

[ifsoboy43]

This is getting weird.. For a computer ****** like me, I don't understand this at all. .__.

[Reaper]

Hmm, strange........ How do i access my subscriptions? I'm confuzzled??

It's ok, i found it lol

[Digifiend]

Arcade problem: clicking to submit score instead takes me back to the forum homepage.

[Fury Diamond]

Thanks digi for bringing this to my attention. I upgraded the arcade software to the latest version. Let me know if that fixed the problem.

[GoseiYellow]

The old version is WAY better than this one.

[Samurai Pink]

This must have changed today cause it wasn't like this yesterday. But it's nice to see that I didn't have to register again. I'm trying to get use to this new version. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in no time. By the way, my poll in my Super Hero Squad Show thread has vanished, well it's still there but the options of which one you like isn't there.

[Digifiend]

Thanks digi for bringing this to my attention. I upgraded the arcade software to the latest version. Let me know if that fixed the problem.

Nope. I was sent back to the homepage just now after playing Bejeweled. I just checked the high scores list, it isn't saving them - I just beat my own high score but it still lists my previous best. The Arcade mod is probably not fully compatible with vBulletin 4.0 then. :sad:

[mnikolic]

Seconded and confirmed.

I just tried to play a game of tetris in the arcade. It didn't save my score and I got re-directed to the board index.

[Samurai Pink]

Same with me when I was playing Bejeweled.

[Huzzah]

Is there no way to have the link to just go to the last page of a thread. I mean in the main forum area it has the thread's name, and then a way to go to either page 1, 2 or 3...I'd rather just click and go directly to the last page...I mean that's the way it used to be...

[Fury Diamond]

I'll look into the arcade issue. Do you get an error message when this happen?

As for the "last page of a thread", it is there but it says the "last page number" rather than "Last". So if the thread has 40 pages, it will say 1,2,3...40.

[Ben Tennyson]

Image verification for registering new accounts is broken. Discovered this when trying to help a friend sign up.

[Samurai Pink]

No after I played Bejeweled and clicked on the submit score it just went to the home page. What about the poll problem Fury Diamond? I just want to know what happened to it. Also if this is 4.0, how come it still says 3.0 on the main banner?

[NCBradin]

Oh, and, Fury Diamond, I couldn't visit my old post!

[Fury Diamond]

What do you mean you couldn't visit your old post? Can you post a link so we can check it out?

[NCBradin]

Like..back to six months ago, you know? This new vBulletin has wiped it all.

[Fury Diamond]

Image verification for registering new accounts is broken. Discovered this when trying to help a friend sign up.

I did a reset on this feature. The Image verification should return back to its original state.

[Samurai Pink]

What about my situation?

[Fury Diamond]

Like..back to six months ago, you know? This new vBulletin has wiped it all.

We did a major database cleanup in July. The new version shouldn't have any effect on past posts. I can investigate into this if anyone else can confirm missing posts (not related to the forum cleanup)

[Fury Diamond]

What about my situation?

Is there an issue with the poll system? The forum software is 4.0, which is not related to the forum name "Ranger Crew 3.0".

[Digifiend]

No after I played Bejeweled and clicked on the submit score it just went to the home page.Exactly, no error message at all.

Why is there such a large white space above the text box when editing a post? :question:

[mmpr grove]

I'm trying to figure out witch style of the three hurts my eyes the least. I'm going to have to go with the vb4 defalt.

Why do people on my ignore list now show up as empty white boxes with no opiton to veiw the post anyway? Also can't tell who they are. I have certain people on my list because of their large post. Let's the page load faster.

The text of friend/contact list shows up as the same color as the box. Making the need to highlight text to read it. This is the same issue as the ignored people post

[Digifiend]

I know what you mean, I previously used the dark red colour scheme, but the new ones are red and black (default, which has actually been modified from this colour scheme (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/) [<link]), blue and grey, and red and grey. More colour schemes please.

[mmpr grove]

I second that.

If he takes request here's mine : Change the black to a dark blue, the red to a slightly lighter blue and the text to gray of the default vb4 and name it blue darkv1

[Digifiend]

I'm sure I'll get the hang of it in no time. By the way, my poll in my Super Hero Squad Show thread has vanished, well it's still there but the options of which one you like isn't there.Works fine in the Test Red and Default Blue colour schemes, but the writing and background are both black in vB4 default style. There are no other problems with polls, I just started a new one about the new look forum as a way of checking it.

[mmpr grove]

Works fine in the Test Red and Default Blue colour schemes, but the writing and background are both black in vB4 default style. There are no other problems with polls, I just started a new one about the new look forum as a way of checking it.

I'm using the vb4 default style. the text has been changed to white. But since certain parts of the profile section are white, text became invisible.

[Fury Diamond]

The vb4 Default Style (Dark background with red theme) was intended to be the default theme but there are so many variables that need to be changed. Once that one is finalized, it'll be easier to skin a variety of color concepts.

If members are interested more in the Default Blue / Test Red concepts, I can whip those out quickly based on requests. It is easier to tweak those layouts because they are already based on a light theme.

Keep the color ideas coming. We will do our best to bring back the older color schemes plus introduce new ones. It'll take time to do so but it's worth the wait. :)

[mmpr grove]

Well, i used printscreen, paint and photobucket for what i had in mind. However when I tryed to post the photobucket img I get an error message. Looks like IMGs have been disabled. EDIT: Weird, clickable thumbnails still work though.

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/charpics12/th_untitled-2.jpg (http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/charpics12/?action=view&current=untitled-2.jpg)

[NCBradin]

You know that Blue is my favorite color. It's very easy on my eyes to read.

[Fang Arrow]

So...is the old Red theme coming back anytime soon? I mean, the update looks nice and shiny, but gray textboxes over a black background with the only red being the bars is kind of grating. The white boxes also clash with the gray, making the whole thing look like a coding disaster.

[Fury Diamond]

Thanks dragon for the feedback. I'll try to whip out a couple more color layout this weekend (maybe even tonight). Screenshot feedback is great because I can see what kind of color schemes that you guys like.

[mmpr grove]

Your welcome FD. I only wish paint had more colors available. If only I still had photoshop.

[Fury Diamond]

Added a Dark Blue Test layout. This is a quick blue layout that I made based on the Dark Red test. There are still minor text color issues that need to be resolved. If members prefer the dark test layouts, then we can consider making one of those as the default.

[Digifiend]

Manually typing the [img] tag works as well.

And I like what I see there, the same thing in red is exactly what I'm after.

[Reaper]

The Dark Red Test looks cool :D

[Digifiend]

It would do, if the text in polls, the insert image screen, the insert video screen, and the previous/next thread links at the bottom of the page weren't invisible. I can also barely make out the Bold, Italic and Underline buttons on the edit screen. It affects both dark colour schemes.

[Mr. White]

I don't think I'm gonna get used to this...... I was so used to the old verison:/

[Digifiend]

Re: arcade, this (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101554) says it works on vBulletin 4.0. If that's not the version on this forum, maybe it'll fix the high score saving problem.

[Fury Diamond]

Fixed the Poll text color in the Dark Sets

[Blazing Tiger]

Yeah i kind of dont like this new set up. Might just take some getting use to is all but still.

[Deker]

People need to understand that this is Vbulletin 4. So most changes you may not like (outside of the colors) is what the new VB has to offer. While stuff can be edited, I would advise strongly against it until at least after the first post VB4 gold bug release or the forum runs the risk of having issues. Since this is a re-write, I would expect potential conflicts between updates. Namely with mods/hacks.

More and more VB forums will be upgraded to this. As such, people need to be aware of that. This is the new look, feel, and style of Vbulletin. This is beyond Fury Diamonds control. IMO, it may just take some getting used to. So outside of the colors and such, if you don't like it, blame Vbulletin as this is their new direction and other VB forums will likely be upgraded soon to this new version.

[mnikolic]

A good hint for skins for Fury Diamond:

#background color and #color can not be the same. So changing the color codes in the #color skin parts in the ACP should fix the text issues.

[Beast King]

It looks really good actually, the other one seemed kind of plain.

[Reaper]

I think it's just because it's change. Not a lot of people like change (Me included) But tbh, i'm kinda liking the new look now. I think people just need to give it a chance :D

[Digifiend]

However, the Posting Permissions, Next Thread/Previous Thread links, and Tags at the bottom of the screen are all white on a white background and also need fixing.

[mnikolic]

I was just reminding him, so he'd fix the skin color issues easier and faster.

[Digifiend]

New problem found:

The Search Thread function seems to be only finding posts added since the upgrade. In other words, it's not finding anything created before yesterday.

[mmpr grove]

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/charpics12/th_untitled-3.jpg (http://s263.photobucket.com/albums/ii158/charpics12/?action=view&current=untitled-3.jpg)

see the blank ignore post? it is like this in the dark test and if you scroll down it is the same for the tags and posting permissions in threads.

[Digifiend]

As I mentioned in post 77.

And please fix this problem with smileys in the editing window:

I'm sure you'll agree they don't look the way they should.

[mmpr grove]

opps I scrolled past your post.

Also the recent vistors in the test themes are invisible.

[Fury Diamond]

New problem found:

I just tested this and was able to search for old posts. Can you give me details on how to repro the problem. It may be an indexing issue.

[Digifiend]

I noticed another website was saying "thanks to Mugenhunt and Digifiend at www.rangercrew.com (http://www.rangercrew.com)" for uploading the PRT/BBM crossover comic. I had nothing to do with it though, so I was searching the Power rangers comics thread for my own posts. Only one appears, which I posted earlier today, but I've got several earlier posts in that thread.

In this thread - http://www.rangercrew.com/forum/showthread.php?11496-Power-Rangers-Comic-List/page17 - go to Search Thread > Advanced Search, and I was searching to find posts by user Digifiend. Exact name tickbox ticked.

[Mr. Green]

I'm having the same problem with the arcade. (Being redirected to the board index when trying to submit a high score)

Also, yay for a green skin! :D

I'll look into it. It may have something to do with the new SEO methodology that vBulletin supports.

[Digifiend]

SEO? You mean the system of threads having their titles in the URL?

[Fury Diamond]

That is correct, Digifiend. That allows search engines to index threads easier by having more information via the thread titles.

[Fury Diamond]

Yea, I noticed that one too. I'll dig into that one as well. I assume it is because we have increased the size concept of smilies.

[Razor]

FD, is there any chance of bringing back the ability to view user threads in the same place again?

Before this update, you used to be able to view "Posts by user" and "Threads by user" which made getting to certain threads incredibly easy.

[Digifiend]

lol FD, I see you accidentally clicked on Edit instead of Reply With Quote. At least you noticed and undid it. I guess it just takes time to get used to the new graphics and layout. :)

[ForeverBlue]

Gotta get use to where the new thread button is lol

[Fury Diamond]

lol FD, I see you accidentally clicked on Edit instead of Reply With Quote. At least you noticed and undid it. I guess it just takes time to get used to the new graphics and layout. :)

Yea, sorry about that. :) I greatly appreciate everyone's understand and patience during this upgrade process.

Cool, glad you like it. I'll try to get more of those quick skins out as soon as I can.

[Digifiend]

I see we still have some colour issues. Several areas have invisible text on the dark themes, as seen in the two screenshots below. Also, at low resolution or in windowed mode, there's some text overlapping, as shown in the second screenshot.

OK that's weird, just posted two attachments and they appeared as text links instead of thumbnails. They've also shrunk too much, so wait a few minutes, and I'll go upload them on my own webspace - must've been too big to attach, yet I got no warning, it just shrunk them automatically.

:cool: Oh yeah, that's what you was describing here.
Also the recent vistors in the test themes are invisible.

[mmpr grove]

The poll in the dark blue test is still invisible.

[Fury Diamond]

Fixed the following:
1. Recent Visitors text color in Dark Tests
2. Smilie Box cropped images in Light and Dark Tests
3. Fixed Poll Results in Dark Tests

[NCBradin]

FD, I can't type in visitor's message at all. I has to go "View your conversation" in the order to type. Can you fix that problem?

[ForeverBlue]

For the Dark Test (Blue and Red) styles.....you know, on the browser, the blue bar that would show the title of the board, forums, and threads....it just says RangerCrew.COM when you go to a forum or view and when viewing a thread.


For the Light Blue Style and Light Red Style...when looking at the threads in a forum....the rows are light gray and you can't really see the white text of the last post date. When a thread is stickied, you can see the last post date fine.

For the Dark Blue and Red style is perfect as the last post dates can be shown as the text for those are gray. Only one issue though....when going to someone's profile and want to type a message, the message box area is all black...doesn't show the text your typing.

[Digifiend]

You mean the title bar at the top of the screen? It's colour and position very dependimng on the browser. In light colour schemes it says on mine "vBulletin 4.0 - Windows Internet Explorer" but on dark it says "RangerCrew.COM - Windows Internet Explorer".
FD, I can't type in visitor's message at all. I has to go "View your conversation" in the order to type. Can you fix that problem?Must've been fixed already, I'm not having that problem.

[ForeverBlue]

Still can't type in the visitor message area when using the Dark text styles

[Digifiend]

Ah. NCBradin didn't specify that, I'm using LightRed. EDIT: Just checked it in the dark theme, seems to be working fine... :question:

[Fury Diamond]

FD, I can't type in visitor's message at all. I has to go "View your conversation" in the order to type. Can you fix that problem?

That may be a vBulletin 4 feature. It reminds me of facebook's Wall implementation.

Fixed both issues.

[ForeverBlue]

Nope, still can't see text when typing in visitor message for the Dark test style.

[Ryan Steele]

why when i click on a thread it doesn't go to the last post?

[Digifiend]

Because you clicked the thread title instead of the last number? i.e. 1, 2, 3...11 for this thread, to get to the last posts, you'd click on that number 11.

EDIT: In Dark colour schemes, the View Conversation, Edit and Report links are still invisible (white text, white background).

Also, when viewing conversation in visitor messages, you get both page number links at the bottom and not one at the top.
http://digifiend.webs.com/SPRCviewconveration.PNG

[Blazing Tiger]

Im still having a bit of problems with the text in the dark red one. Like when you leave a visitor comment it still doesnt show up. Maybe its my comp. Idk.

[ForeverBlue]

Its to do with the style Beth

[Samurai Pink]

I now see my poll. I wonder if someone fixed it or it just took it awhile for it to come up. By the way, love the new look. I can get different forums alot quicker.

[Ryan Steele]

to be honest I prefer the previous look you had. This is confusing for me in new posts. Before it was much easier to see from which forum it were the theads. But the look is better and i like everything else,like profile,buttons etc.
Is is possible to block a forum unit? I mean I never cared rpgs or fanfictions in pr forums. Is it possible to not see them in new posts?:p

Because you clicked the thread title instead of the last number? i.e. 1, 2, 3...11 for this thread, to get to the last posts, you'd click on that number 11.

EDIT: In Dark colour schemes, the View Conversation, Edit and Report links are still invisible (white text, white background).

Also, when viewing conversation in visitor messages, you get both page number links at the bottom and not one at the top.
http://digifiend.webs.com/SPRCviewconveration.PNG
About that,I use light red skin if it matters and guess what I do what you say I click the last number in a new post. Why doesn't it show the last number of it in a new post to click it? I mean this thread here reaches 13,but when you see it the forum it says 3:P
First time i see such thing. I have to open the thread in order to see all 13 numbers and click on the last page of it(13th)

[Fury Diamond]

Nope, still can't see text when typing in visitor message for the Dark test style.

That's odd. It was working for Admistrator but not for everyone else. Fixed the issue.



In Dark colour schemes, the View Conversation, Edit and Report links are still invisible (white text, white background).
Fixed

[Tenaya]

Hey, FD, I dont know if I'm the only one having this issue, but when I click on the blue button that says go to the last post in threads I've already read entirely, it always brings me to the first post of the thread. I'm not sure if that's something with the board or what, but I just thought I'd mention it

[Fury Diamond]

That is probably part of the board software where Last is "Last Thread Page" rather than "Last Post".

[Digifiend]

Just posted post 1000 in the MMPR 2010 thread, and this happened.
3400
Post count goes from 999 to zero, instead of 1000. I only noticed this after I edited the post.

[NCBradin]

I'm praying that this may be the last time that you can solve that problem, Fury Diamond.

It says 1,000 for me.

[Fury Diamond]

That's another odd issue...could be related to vBulletin software. I assume that will be fixed upon the official release.

The option to change the banner at the top has disappeared from the settings screen. Also, it's December 23rd, so I'd like a Christmas one.

[Fury Diamond]

The banner option was a custom feature that I implemented for vBulletin 3. I am working on porting it over to vBulletin 4 as soon as possible. It is taking some time due to the major backend changes.

Yes, we are also in the process of deciding on a Holiday banner. We encourage members to also post some in the "Submit Banner" thread.

[Fury Diamond]

Upgraded the board to vBulletin 4 (official release). This should resolve any "beta" bugs that were occurring. We will still keep an eye on these. The layout skins are still going through work. Keep us updated if you see any issues and also feel free to post requests for color layouts.

[Thrax]

The new banner as awesome !!!!

[Tenaya]

I agree. :) Nice work on it. :)

[Huzzah]

Yay! I can go directly to the last page from the forum list now. WooHoo!!

[Digifiend]

Nice new Danger and Destiny banner. I see some forum graphics have been altered slightly, with more curved edges. Oh good, the smiley previews are showing the entire smiley now, not just the top left, although they are smaller than they should be as ironheartwriter said.

[Huzzah]

Okay, it's not "remembering me" when I log in, I have to log in every time I come to the page...can we do something about that?

[Digifiend]

Speaking of which, I just logged in and found all threads marked as read. Normally it marks as unread all new posts since I was last here.:mad:

And Arcade still crashes to the forum homepage when you try to save your score, but I think I've found out why. Somebody on the vBulletin forum has reported getting a "missing security token" error message. That error doesn't appear here, but maybe it only shows up for admins. At least we now know it's not just us having that problem. http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=101554&page=354

[Mr. White]

Lovin the Danger and Destiny Banner

[Fury Diamond]

One suggestion for the arcade is to completely nuke it and re-install it. The downfall is that everyone will lose their scores. I would prefer not to do that and wait for the arcade software to find a fix for that issue. I figured it is better not to currently save high scores than lose everyone's high scores. If members are okay with starting the arcade from fresh, then I am more than happy to implement that change.

[Mr. White]

I'm ok with the fresh start doesn't really matter to me. Um so what happen to the moods? Are they just gone completely?

[Fury Diamond]

The vMoods are down until they are supported by vBulletin 4. They will be back. :)

Can't you just make a backup of the highscores, then re-install the Arcade and than restore the highscores from the backup?

[King RR]

I liked the new vBulletin 4 a lot !!! :) Its simply awesome!

[ForeverBlue]

I don't think he can backup the highscores dude.

[mnikolic]

But aren't the highscores a part of the forum database? I know the Arcade is a modification, but the highscores still should be a part of the forum database, because all mods, to my understanding, are implemented into the forum software.

[Digifiend]

If a sub-forum gets deleted, all it's posts also get deleted, right? Likewise, if a modification gets deleted, such as the arcade, all it's stats would be gone - including the high scores. They can't just be restored. When moods come back for example, expect to find that your mood is at the default "none" setting, and the same for custom banners, it'll be the default (currently Danger&Destiny) until you change it, not whatever you had it set to before the upgrade.

[Deker]

The high scores are a part of the mod database, not the forum database. Even if its installed as part of it, it still remains separate. The mods are not implemented into the software directly. Only through hooks. The mods themselves remain separate from the actual forum software.

You are correct.

Except the posts will still count if they are moved. If they are deleted with the sub-forum, then yes, your post count would be affected.

So the moods you had before will need to be reset once it's re-released.

[DarkBlaze]

I don't know if this was brought up, but I seem to keep getting logged out every time I visit. On the older version, I was able to stay logged in.

I had that problem the first time after the upgrade from 4.0 RC to the Gold release, but not since. Make sure you're ticking the Remember Me box when you log in.

[Tiger Lily]

I agree with everyone esle, I like it the way it was before it got updated before the new update on the VBulletin 4.0. But, nice layout FD.

[Digifiend]

You're not agreeing with everyone else, judging by the poll I created (which is in Forum Support) opinions are split roughly 50/50. There's no consensus on which version is better, and nor should there be, since we're still finding bugs and removed/incompatible features (such as the Arcade, the custom banners, and the moods). The new layout by the way is part of the upgrade and thus not FD's doing.

Quick update on that:

A subsequent post stated that the instructions to fix that are in the file called INFO - vbadvanced or another Portal.txt which is a part of the installation package.

FD, if you still have that file, then you can follow the instructions to fix it.

I never seem to have a problem of it not remembering me and I'm using the newest Firefox....

[Fury Diamond]

The problem doesn't occur on IE8. This could be a software bug in regards to storing the cached data on Firefox (and maybe other browsers). I'll keep an eye out for upcoming patches.

Upgrade it. The latest version is 3.5.6 - from what Tenaya said, it might fix the problem.

I have the latest version of Firefox. And now that it was brought up, it does crash quite often but it's not an everyday thing.

[Digifiend]

Use IE8 then. It doesn't have the log in problem. And yeah, I have Chrome as a backup browser, but ironically, it doesn't even support Google's own toolbar (which is odd, it should've been built in IMHO). That's why I stick to IE unless something displays incorrectly (as happens to popcap.com).

[Tenaya]

I stopped using IE because it used to crash on me so many times a day. I have had had no problems whatsoever with firefox though

Vbulletin 4 is getting slammed on the official forums. Even though it's an 'Official' or 'Gold' release, it's still buggy as hell and many agree should not have been released yet.

The bigger concern by people is if this is a sign of the new VB and of things to come, or just a rushed product to try and maximize profit. Either way, VB 4 was not ready for prime time.

Although I didn't have any problem with Vista and was pretty happy with it, I think that it could be even better if Microsoft would delay its realase for about 1 more year. But they really came trough nicely with Windows 7. And they did the right thing with the specific editions.

By the looks of it, it shall be the same with the new Vbulletin, because it's going trough the same thing as Vista did. It'll come around evenutally. Maybe even with a new version.

If it's version 5, I hope it's not anytime soon. It's bad enough a lot of VB users feel VB are gouging them financially. Fact is every time a new version comes out now, people, including existing customers, have to pay the full price which is around $200. So if they released version 5 in 2011 that's another $200 to fork over. Believe me, a lot of people are not happy with VB for many reasons right now. Honestly, we could be seeing the decline of VB if they don't turn the ship around quick. It's not the same coding team anymore. A lot has changed behind the scenes.

He probably just needs to reapply them. Upgrading the board probably restores skins to the default.

The skins installed were 4.0 Gold skins. They disappeared because when I did the forum upgrade, it broke all of those skins so I'm just waiting for the fix.

With that many bug fixes there is bound to be potential changes and trouble upgrading with some mods and skins. Even when I went back to the default VB 4 skin, I needed to revert the few changes I had to make the skin show properly. And that was on the VB 4 default skin.

It looks like Fury Diamond managed to upgrade the forum to the latest release however.

Honestly with every day that goes by I seem to trust VB 4 less and less. I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt, but it's tough some days.

Upgrading doesn't restore the skins to the default. But if they are modded or have heavy template changes, it can cause some issues until they are resolved.

I only edited the CSS (StyleVars) and the usercp.css file for each style that I made on the board that I'm anadministrator on. So if the board gets upgraded to version 4.0.1., will that break up the skins?

Anyway, FD, good job on applying the software update.

It shouldn't. Then again with the way VB has been handling things lately there is no guarantee.

Yet another update is due in 3-4 weeks, fixing another 50+ bugs. With all these problems v4 has, why not go back or stay with v3.9.?? until v5 or 4.5?

If that's the case, it would be best to wait until v5. Or even v6.

The staff there should've done a beta run first, then a RC run and then release the finalized product. And how do I know this? It worked with Windows 7 > Microsoft released a few beta builds, than a few RC builts and about two years later, people started grabbing Windows 7..

They did. That's the sad part. It seems they may have had a timetable to launch VB4. Bugs be damned when that date showed up. They ran a private beta. Then they launched a public beta due to outcry. Then from there to RC to Gold was a matter of 2 months. That's breakneck speed, especially for Vbulletin. But remember, VBulletin is no longer ran by Jelsoft but Internet Brands. But instead an entirely different company. Waiting to VB 5 or VB 6 is no guarantee things will be better either. Gotta roll with the punches I guess.

So yes, believe it or not it went through Beta and RC. What's worse is those 200+ bugs were there when VB 4 went gold and was launched 'officially' last month. They launched it knowing how huge that bug list was. Another update is expected in about 3 or so weeks.

I would say get used to it. What's worse is when a bug fix screws things up. Usually to customized or hacked/modded forums. :/

No, but the board would need to be taken offline, then the data backed-up, then converted to work in conjuction with another forum code (i.e. phpBB, IPB, SMF, etc.), then install the right forum code (delete the old one first) and finally, upload the data back-up to the new forum.

And that's at least 1 day of hard work. After re-opening, the skins would need to be either converted or re-made as well, mods would need to be found and installed for the new forum before the new forum would be finished. So that takes at least 2 to 3 days or maybe even an entire week.

But that's not an option for RangerCrew. Remember Power Ranger Empire and how it used to switch between vBulletin and Invasion Power Board whenever a new version was released? RangerCrew doesn't need that. Because it would be simply PRE forum code switching all over again.

Another problem noticed...when using the dark blue or dark red skin style, when going to view the member list, the column for posts is all blank (white)...you had to drag the mouse over to see the posts.


I knew there was something I forgot to post about.


I haven't checked yet, to be honest. I'll do a random search to see if it's been fixed or not.

Great news: Banner System is BACK! :) Please test this feature and make sure that it's working correctly. We will post the new banners later this week. I will also remove the Dark Tests soon due to the various bugs. We will redesign these to ensure they work correctly.

[Mr. White]

It doesn't work for me when I change the banner it still shows the Danger and Destiny one.

[mmpr grove]

you know the post number in the corner of each reply/post? It stops counting in some threads after 19 and stays at zero.

EDIT: no matter what banner I switch to, it stays the danger and destiny banner.

[Fury Diamond]

I just tested this and it worked. Anyone else having this problem?

[Digifiend]

I see The Power Returns is showing up by default now. Nice one! :D

[mmpr grove]

Nope the banner still won't change for me. I have tried on each style too.

[mmpr grove]

The banner finally changed!

sorry for double postage

[Mr. White]

^Same here banner changed for me to :D

[Fury Diamond]

Sweet! :) Glad that's working out now. Still plenty of backend stuff to do but that was a major feature that was lost during the vBulletin upgrade. The color layouts will be more difficult to directly port due to vB4's major style changes. Does anyone have a screenshot of the old version that I can use as a reference?

Will this August 2008 version of rangercast.com do? http://web.archive.org/web/20080822031139rn_2/www.rangercast.com/forum/

Or he could just go to http://www.archive.org/web/web.php and type in rangercast.com or rangercrew.com and he would see the approximate colors there.

[Digifiend]

That's the same site. The link I posted is the most recent you'll find. The changeover to Rangercrew.com happened in 2009 - too recently, so there's no results.

[Fury Diamond]

It's too bad that they don't have any cached for 2009 when we ported to the post-RC1 style system. I'm sure we have a screenshot posted somewhere on this forum.

[Digifiend]

I see the thanks feature only lets you thank the OP, not later posts like you could in vBulletin 3.

[mnikolic]

It's probably just a permission issue. I've seen another forum use the Thanks feature and it functions just like in vBulletin 3 over there.

Upgraded to vBulletin 4.0.2 and added a new Light Pink skin.

[Digifiend]

And I notice Light Red, Light Blue and Light Green have been altered too. I like that change. :)

*looks at happy smiley I just used* Smilies have broke again. :(

[Fury Diamond]

Smilies fixed again. I always forget that during each update.

[Digifiend]

:) - doesn't look fixed to me.

[Fury Diamond]

It could be cached by the browser because I am seeing the new smilies.

[Digifiend]

Yeah, a simple refresh fixed it, sorry.

[ForeverBlue]

When I view my profile or anyone's profile to look at the visitor message area, about me and infractions....you gotta scroll down to see them as there is a big blank space in the middle.


Also to add that there isn't a contact information section in the profiles.

[Digifiend]

Just looked at your profile, and yes there is a contact section. It's on the About Me tab.

Upgraded to vBulletin 4.0.3

[mmpr grove]

Poll choices in the dark blue style are invisible. Have to highlight to see what your voting for, as well what the poll question is.

[ForeverBlue]

Use the light blue style....

[Fury Diamond]

Upgraded the forum to the latest vBulletin. There may be some style differences or bugs. We're looking into this right now. Let us know if you have any particular issues.

[Digifiend]

Graphical issue: The report post, reply, replay with quote, multi-quote, and edit buttons have light coloured boxes on the light skin. It wasn't like that before the update.

[Fury Diamond]

Fixed the issue. In the update, they consolidated several style variables together. I'm sure there are other design issues that still need to be tweaked.

[Fury Diamond]

Updated the board to the latest vBulletin version. Report any bugs or issues in this thread.

[Deker]

VB4 IS the bug. :P

And considering how many bugs are still in their bug tracker for VB4, I'm pretty positive it won't take long for some here to find those bugs. :/ Hopefully that won't be the case though.

[Digifiend]

Is that blue underline when you hover over a member's name supposed to be there?

[Deker]

I don't see a blue line. O_o I mean, it underlines the name when you hover over it, but it's not blue to me.

[Digifiend]

It is in IE8, with the light red skin. You're either using a different browser or different skin - I'll check the skins. Yeah, it's white on the dark blue and dark skins and grey on the dark red test and dark blue test skins. It's blue on all the light skins.

Also on the light skins, invisible writing at the bottom of the screen: All times are GMT +1. The time now is 05:18 PM. The time is all that's visible.
