Forum Upgrades

[TommyB]

Today we will be upgrading the forums.
Expect some downtime.

Also, the look may change a bit.

I will try to make this upgrade as painless as possible, but you never know.

Will keep ya updated

TB.

Tommy,

The new look is not that pleasing to the eye. My 2 cents.... YMMV.
Additionally I try to go to the "home" page and it gives me a silly msg saying I do not have enough privileges to go there... what gives?

Dive safe,

If you click the "Forum" button, that will get you to the list of forums/threads etc. and you can at least read/post... until they fix the home button. All else seems to work as it did before.

I'll pretty up this beast later tonight when I'm not in the dive shop. At least I'll get started.. might take a few days to tweak it to something cool...

This new update has all kinds of bells and whistles so stay tuned for new additions.. hopefully good... but the LOOK is my 1st priority.

this does look weird.... let's see how it goes when get all setup, good luck tho....

I find it ugly and difficult to use. I enjoyed the old way. It was easy to use and colorful. I don't use another forum because it is difficult to find stuff. Why the change?

The colors do seem anemic.

UGGGG....me NO LIKEY!

Thanks much tj. Folks, unfortunately, this is, simply, the default look of V-Bulletin 4.x right out of the box. There's no way around it. This is precisely how TTD looked when they converted from V-Bulletin 3.x to 4.x. And they've come pretty far. Let's give tj and Tommy B some time and see what magic they can work for us.... Some things will be permanently changed but they can apply templates etc. to get us as close to the old look and feel as is possible.

Just think of it as migrating from "XP" to "Windows CDF Vista" <ducking/running>

TJ and Tommy and Dinny and Forrest and Marbry and others,
Thanks for all that you do to keep the board running, including making the necessary upgrades. I'm sure you had better (more fun) things to do. I definitely get more than my money's worth out of it! Heck, for the subscription cost vs the entertainment and information, it's the best value in town!

Keep up the great work and then GO DIVE!

I'm guessing anyone who's reading your post, has already found the forum

True.... Not that it matters much now... The "Home" button is working
