Edit: I've opted in for conversion so at anytime the board could be converted. It could be any time between now and a few days or even longer. We shall see. My test board was converted to the new forum software yesterday. I've spent the last 4 or 5 hours or so working on a skin that will be as close as possible to this one. I think I've come up with one that looks pretty good and is error free but I can't be positive about the errors. If you would like to take a look at the new skin before I opt in for conversion, you can see it here: http://s7.zetaboards.com/vixie_test_board/ Skin opinions are welcomed. Once I sort through what's been converted and what hasn't been, I'll opt in. I just want to be prepared. What Will NOT Work After Conversion - The Arcade Until gamefreak releases the code for the zeta version of the arcade, we'll be without an arcade which isn't much of a loss at the moment. - The Scoreboards The dohtml code will not work but all I have to do is transfer all of the scoreboard code over to bbcode and it will work again. That will take some time on my part as I literally have to go line by line and change the html to bbcode but new scores can still be submitted. - Some, if not all, of the posted videos There will be a video code. I know it works for youtube but I'm not sure about sites like gamespot, gametrailers, etc. - Random banner at every refresh At some point, someone will probably transfer this code over so we just have to be patient for it to return. Note to self: http://support.zetaboards.com/topic/156362/1/#new The code has already been remade. - Highlighting cells You know when you hover over a cell, it changes to the blue? That. Again, that was a custom hack on the board and it's likely it will be converted by someone at some point. Note to self: http://support.zetaboards.com/topic/114264/1/#new The code has already been remade. As far as I can tell, those are the only issues, two of which have already been solved had I actually searched a bit before I made this post but was too lazy to edit the actual text before posting the topic cause of my blurry eyes, see below I think. *phew* Some of the New Features Include - Deeper customization of profiles - Name change request system - Multiple polls in one topic - Webpages - Clubs - Multiple themes (aka skins) - Automatic Color Key for users online - All users can post youtube videos - Online status in posts and profiles - Marker for a topic you have posted in - Search function WORKS - You can view a member's topics and/or posts by chosing the option in their profile - Revamped pm system (which will be a bit funky for everyone at first I think) - Customizable Avatar Gallery - Spoiler Code built in! - Other new bbcodes besides spoilers - New style pm pop up that won't interfere with pop up blockers - New Portal To name a few... I was going to opt in tonite but after spending a bunch of hours doing stuff on the test board, my eyes are blurry. So I'm going to quit for the night and finish the stuff I have to do on the test board tomorrow before I opt in. I'll likely leave the board online as I'm making all the changes as there's really no need to put it offline unless I break it. But I haven't broken the test board yet even in my blurry eye state so we should be all good.I'll post an announcement shortly before I opt in as I have no idea if it will be instantly converted. After the conversion is done, I'll send out a mass e-mail to everyone in hopes that new things bring old people and the new that never posted back. On a side note, I'll be able to reopen the guest forum and not require users to post before they get access to the board. Zeta has way beter security than IF does in regards to the spambots. |

you know, some people take major offense when someone they don't even know constantly corrects them regardless of job profession. |

i know. many people do. i, as a friend wanted to give you a heads up was all. thought you would edit and be glad someone told you. its like people that have something on their face and no one tells them all day. when they see it they yell "why didnt anyone tell me!?" and i certainly dont constantly correct you i dont think! i am a really poor speller, i just noticed it and it was spelled correctly in another sentence. Okay?
