Site Upgrade Complete!, w00t! Options

[Coomer]

After hours and hours of slaving away on my computers, I think the site is ready to be released to the public, and that's why you're seeing it now.

As you can probably tell, the forums look a bit different. They're upgraded to the new version of Invision Power Board, which brings lots of new features. Most notable is probably the multiple quote system...see that quote icon on the top right of this post? Click it and it selects this post to be quoted when you hit the reply button at the bottom. Select multiple posts and you get multiple quotes.

Also new is a bunch of new features that you guys will discover.

And the forum skin appears to be a bit buggy, but that's being worked out.

Let me know what you guys think, and if you have any problems, please do post and let me know...it's the only way they'll get fixed.

To Do List

• Re-incorporate the location and AIM screen-name advanced search fields into the members' rides advanced search form
• Allow editing of pending how-to articles
• Re-incorporate the AIM icon into posts made by users with an AIM screen-name
• Re-incorporate Celica info('94 Celica ST, for example) under users' names
• Fix lots of skin/visualization issues

Again, what logos? And what else do you want on the home page?

I just noticed that it doesnt show how many VIEWS a thread has... I liked seeing how many people have viewed my threads, could we bring that back?

EDIT: Not too big, but I liked when I used to click on a member's name and it took me straight to their profile.  Now it takes me to some other page, then theres another button that says view their profile.

I plan to put the view back in. People seem to like that.

If you click the profile icon, rather than the user's name, you go straight to their 6GC.net profile with the Celica info and such. I should replace the person on that icon with a wheel or something...

I have to log in every time from work, but at home its fine...i'll try deleting cookies and starting over.

That didnt work, IDK whats goin on at my work computer.

Also a couple things: no more comments?
And mark this forum as read, not there anymore, not a biggie probably the only one who uses it.

It's possible that it's cookie settings on the server-side. I'm going to mess with those soon and see if I can get all the bugs worked out.

The comments were removed because they were too hard to moderate, unlike the forums, where management is always at. I noticed a lot of mean and inappropriate comments, and people would sometimes have comment wars and I'd have to go in and remove stuff...just too much of a hassle.

And someone else mentioned the "mark this forum as read" link too...I'll have to add that back in at some point.



Man do I love multi-quoting. It makes this so much easier!
