Hello fellow forum members. As you have noticed, the forum has been down for almost the past 2 days but that was only due to our conversion status.
We have successfully imported users, posts, threads, private messages, and everything else. But you may notice some differences here and this thread will explain it all.
First, Most of the members are senior members and that is because I have not set up all the other user ranks yet. Give me time and it will come to you. And if your username or display name isn't like before, just make a thred in the question/suggsetions board and I will change it asap. And when posting, if you dont see some smiley' don't freak out, just some missing ones that will be fixed.
Second, if you had special usergroup permissions before such as supermod, junior mod, global mod, mvp, vip, or gfx pro - You don't have those permissions yet, that is because these are in the process of being set up.
Third, if you go look at your sig, you will see that there are some broken html codes, to fix that, click the usercp >> edit signature - and just fix the code. Erase the unnecessary ones.
Fourth, please again go to usercp >> edit options and fix the time settings to your liking, to where you live because it has been set up to default of 0 GMT. If you live in NY like me, it is most likely ts 04 GMT.
Fifth, the look of the forum -- i know its the default theme but again after a little while we will change the them, and import everything out it will be better, we are just settling in now.
Sixth, the left panel on the forum, it probably looks screwed up to some of you and I am trying to fix that right now.
Seventh, points for posting, it is not enabled yet, you guys may have to wait upto a week or two to get that feature again, vBulletin isn't known for its point system like phpBB and smf but we will integrate it into the forum. It doesn't mean stop posting, because we will give out a lot of points to top posters later on. And yes this means tonite, the Independence Day raffle drawing has been delayed. Still a chance for me to pick a winner just no points will be given out.
Eighth, last but not least, if you find any forum errors, or have suggestions, such as a good skin for us ;) dont hesistate to tell us. Just make a new thread in questions and suggestions and we will consider it.
Thank you!
