Upgraded the site

Rate this Entry
We've upgraded the site to the latest version of vBulletin. We are working on getting the style consistent throughout the site, so bear with us for the moment.

I'm sure there will be a few bugs / errors / general annoyances, so please let me know in the Community boards here.

One of the first issue I'll fix is the fact that reviews, wardrobes and iTrader doesn't work, but it may be a few days.

Anyway, please leave your comments and hope to have all the things that have gone, back soon enough (itrader, flags, wardrobe icons, cups of tea etc....)

UPdate - its 2.15am -- There's lots needing to do, but I just want to get the forums back up. I hope you can put up with it while we still redecorate. Right -- sleep now!

Added late 24th Dec - messed up smilies a bit, trying to fix them, oh dear...

27th Dec. Update here

    Thanks for all your hard work, Grant - it's much appreciated. The site really does look spiffy and much more current. I do love the new look and feel. I'm going to get out there and kick the tires a bit, so please forgive me if I end up sounding like a nitpicker if I report anything. I think it's all great, no matter what. Ciao! -Red

    It will take some getting used to, but overall it looks very slick/professional! Thanks for investing all this time (especially during the holidays) to do this.

    Just got here. Wow, quite a change. While Redneck Perfumisto is kicking the tires, I'll be right behind him ... I guess that means I'll be kicking him. Thanks for all the work, Grant.

    It's quite a change. I am not a computer person so changes of any kind tend to throw me. But I appreciate your hard work, Grant.

    Marvelous job so far, Grant! Will the visitor counts to the blog entries return in the new version?

    Having worked in the IT field for years and having gone through many an upgrade I can appreciate what you have done and are going through. Bugs and lack of sleep are not fun! Thanks for your efforts to make it better for all of us.

    Hey Grant,
    How about the feedback link and numbers present when checking a sal3es thread?/ Thanks

    Let's all be patient and give Grant a break here! He's doing a ton of work and there will be some bugs to work out.

    Hi, Grant,

    I second JaimeB's hope that visitor counts reappear with each blog entry. If a blog doesn't generate any comments, the views are the only way I know anyone was at all interested.

    Also, in my member profile, Biography section, the biography I entered has gotten truncated in mid-sentence to about 1.5 lines. I used the edit feature to complete the entry. I saw everything after I did a save and then a return. But when I went to one of my posts, and from there to my profile, the bio was truncated again.

    I also have some experience with product upgrades. Maybe you should have a Grant-o-meter that displays kilos of coffee (or tea) consumed during this campaign, or hours since last nap.

    Good luck.

    Ciao Grant, I attract your attention to the fact that the search engine does not have yet the option "show the results by posts" as it had before. Instead it shows the results by threads which are sometimes of several pages, rendering the search feature mostly useless.
    I hope that it is only momentary.

    Can't seem to post any reviews. Hope it's just temporary... But the upgrade is off to a good start!

    Looks fresh and modern! And maybe the new look will inspire me to try new paths and links (I'm kinda old fashioned and tend to do things as before Thank you, Grant, for the work and well, generally being an inspiration.

    Nice look, Grant! Does take a bit of getting used to, but I think overall it'll be a truly winning upgrade!

    Missing the wardrobe icons, though I finally managed to locate my own Wardrobe

    I hate to be the turd in the punch bowl, but I preferred the old look.

    Then again, I voted for McCain so most people would think I don't know my head from my hole...

    Still love BN though!
