Comments on change to vbulletin

The only glaring thing I'm seeing right now is the [quote] tag is different between phpbb and vbulletin, so any posts that have quotes aren't formatted correctly anymore. I don't know what the best solution to this would be. I would assume a global find and replace of message contents in the db would be required to fix this. I don't know how doable that is though.

The other thing is the loss of attached images in the threads, but that I remember happening when we went from vbulletin to phpbb.

Besides that it looks like all posts in a thread are being seen again, and the board seems to be responding better than before.

Thanks jimmyjoe and whoever else helped out with the change back to vbulletin!

Yeah, thanks a lot jimmyjoe and jazz! Everything (in the 2 minutes I've been here) looks great so far!

BTW... vBulletin has a zillion more emoticons available. Are you planning to put them out here for us to use?

The following thread has the thread starter incorrect in the view of the 7135 Discussion forum. It has Xc0m when it should be Markito Burrito, I'm not sure if this problem exists for other threads as well. This is the first thread that I've seen with the incorrect starter.

Yeah, we plan on getting those installed also, it was an extremely late night getting all of this converted, so jimmyjoe didn't have time to finish everything.

Yes, we also noticed this...I'm not quite sure how we will go about fixing it...a little research will be required before doing a global find and replace.

thanks for pointing that out... it is very strange.... i haven't come across any other threads that look that way, but please let me know if you see any more.

Jimmy Joe, Jazz & marctronixx,

Thanks sooooo much for making the change! I feels so good to post, etc. without errors or problems. Ahhhh, I feel like a new man (er, make that "geek").

We appreciate it!

Thank you for going back to vB. Version 3.0 is going to knock everyone's socks off.

I remember seeing errors like that when vbulletin was previously used here. I don't see it actually causing a problem, besides being slightly annoying.

Small thing....

So far this is cool....I have noticed one minor annoyance...even if you have read all of the post in a topic, it still shows that there are new posts on the index page. If you go into that topic and mark it as read, then it no longer shows new posts. Like I said, just a small thing.

As far as fixing the quotes, I would be happy to try to help fix it. I do have a lot of experience in file conversions and such.

Rob
