Upgrade to vBulletin 4

[Ryan]

Hello everyone,

As you've probably realized by now, the forum got a facelift. Welcome to 2010! I've been putting it off for a year, but we finally took the plunge and upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin -- vB4.

Almost everything is back in place. iTrader is up, banners are up but they do not rotate automatically for now. I will try to work on this later.

A few changes and notes:

UserCP has now changed to Settings and it is in the top right corner of the page. This is where you change all of your options and settings, see your subscribed threads, access PMs, etc. You can also click your username in the top right to see your profile. You may now leave Visitor Messages for people, much like a Facebook wall.

Also, you may have noticed a little filmstrip icon when creating a new post. That is so that you can embed YouTube videos. Just click the button, paste your YouTube link, and it will put the video in your post.

When replying to threads, a single click on the Reply button will activate the Quick Reply box. If you prefer the old method of replying, double-click on the Reply button instead and it will take you there.

If you find anything broken or out of place, please PM me or post here in the thread and I will try my best to fix it or find an answer for you.

I figured the best time to upgrade the software was while the boss was distracted. That way, if I broke anything, I could frantically try and fix it before he got back online.

I will also say, I co-own a dog forum. We updated a few months ago as well, and it doesn't look half as good as this does. I was severely disappointed, truthfully. We may have to have a chat about converting to vBulletin.

Ryan,

The new upgrades look great. Thanks for all you do for our community. Without You and Al I am not sure what we would do to get our discus fix every day.

Good job Ryan
The whole site looks great, like Al said, it's like driving a new car.
