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

2nd akimbo... cooms is 1st

Like the new look coomer!!

one ? though... is there a way to add a little section to the left of our posts that we can add things like GT2/3sgte/5sfte etc.. like maybe between what kinda car it is and our location?

If not its no prob cuz we got a sig to do that stuff but might make it a little less jumbled with all the big sigs that could be reduced down


Newayz.. Looks GREAT and your hardwork diffently will/has paid off!

can't wait to figure out every feature

Location is already there...and I plan to put the car year, model, and body-style of peoples' cars back under their names.

It's just a matter of me being able to figure out how this new code powering the forums works.

yea figured you would do that.. ment an extra section... also is there away to either sticky the GB's or have a seperate section/forum for them... cuz it kinda sucks to have to look around for them if no one has posted updates etc for a few days but its still goin on

It'd be too much work to sticky all of them, and I don't think there are enough to warrant their own section.

Coomer,
Thanks so much for the time and effort that you put into this website. It truly is the best 6th gen Celica website and forum that there is. The upgrade looks great so far. Thanks again.

Man, I love this site. I'm glad it finaly back.

[Coomer]

Thanks for the comments guys!

It was actually fun doing all this work...I love seeing the finished result(although what you see now is far from finished. ) and I'm pretty happy with how everything came together today. At the end of last night I thought it'd never be done.

And if you're wondering why I'm posting so much, I'm blaming the caffeine...I finished off seven cans of Pepsi since 2:00 PM (it's 11:00 PM now) today here at my office, so I'm bouncing off the walls.

[jojobombiest]

I never noticed how much I go to this site until it was down..

[yellowxboy]

yes! its back up again! nice layout coomer!

[Newbie]

Thank you Coomer.. Do we still have the view new posts feature, or can I just not find it? Thanks for all your hard work.

[Coomer]

Where was that located again? I can work on it tomorrow.

Right now I'm leaving the office for a drive down the canyon roads and then home for some much needed sleep.

[YellowTwo]

It was up there with the "Control Panel" and "# New Messages." I think it was on the far right.

[Coomer]

Done. The view new posts link should be available for everyone now.

Lemme know if there's anything else that needs to be done.

The new 'quote' option is only 50% effective IMO. Only way to use the multiple quoting system is to make a new reply (add reply button) instead of just adding it to the fast/quick reply box.

Aside from that it looks decent. I say 'decent' because, I am more of a vBulletin fan rather than IPB.

:P

I could make it so that when the reply icon is clicked, it would automatically put the quoted text into the fast reply box. What do you guys think of that?
