New Forum Software

[Gismo]

We live and breathe again................you will have noticed by now that we are using the latest vBulletin software suite :yes nod:
Things to notice is there is a fully operable CMS and Blog, this is new to me also and will require some research from my side anyway :blush: but, as we move on i'm sure the more techno folks will post up hints and tips for the rest of us.

The smilies appear to be scrunched up, this a is a known bug and is being worked on by vBulletin, i'm not a fan of the new ones from VB and will rectify that as time allows.

One very important thing to know is that when replying to posts now, in order to display the smilies you either need to double click the reply button or select the go advanced button in the reply box.

For all other feedback please create a new thread so i can keep them seperate.

I will be tweaking the colour scheme and you will be able to select it if you don't like the VB default

All comments welcome, hope you enjoy the new tools available

Alan, I'm getting a 'you don't have permission' message when trying to view the home page

[Gismo]

Alan, I'm getting a 'you don't have permission' message when trying to view the home pageTry clearing your browser cache and try again, although there isn't anything published there yet, you should still get to see the home page

Ditto!!



It's a bit white too is that because of all the snow perhaps? ;)

[Gismo]

It's a bit white too is that because of all the snow perhaps? ;)I'm working on the new layout, you can check it out by selecting it from the drop down menu at the left foot of any page, it's called Old School NMS

I did that already but cant see any difference.:lol:

BUT its all working again so a big thanks for that and give yourself a pat on the back and I will buy you a beer too. (hows that?):yes nod:

[Gismo]

I did that already but cant see any difference.:lol:Please tell me you're joking

[The Dogfather]

Alan, well done on getting this installed, I'm still unsure what I'm going to do with NM.

[john]

Please tell me you're joking

OK it has got the NMS bit at the top but thats about it (I think)


also when I go NMS.co.uk then click forum I get told 'bog off yer nae authoried' then need to click forum on that page to get in.



PS nae word for word :)

[Gismo]

OK it has got the NMS bit at the top but thats about it (I think)Whew :Whistle: ok, the reworking of the colour scheme will take a while and will be an ongoing project, the aim is to try and get it to as near the old scheme as possible :thumbs up:


when I go NMS.co.uk then click forum I get told 'bog off yer nae authoried' then need to click forum on that page to get inI'll update the main web site to take folks directly to the actual forums and not the CMS home page until there is actual content on there. Edit, done

Also, try clearing your browser cache

[Delboy]

Alan,
Well done for getting the site upgraded - I'm sure it was not an easy task :eek:!
I noticed that each individual post is not date and time stamped on-screen so it is difficult to know which posts are recent when looking at a lengthy thread. Or am I missing something :confused:?

[Gismo]

[Gismo]

Can someone with a decent monitor advise how defined the forums are?
The new layout does not give borders between each forum, more a shadowed effect from one to the next, my laptop screen is crap and i wondered if the forums were easy to see

[Bazthemod]

More defined with the default skin, the NMS old skool skin isn't as defined but i prefer that lol

maybe easier to see if the forums were black like the background? Dunno how easy that would be to change.

[Delboy]

Not sure what you mean, the posted date and time is shown above your username in every post

That's bizarre - I can't see this on my screen! Could be another "work PC" issue :rolleyes:.

[stoney]

well i like the way round the forms but dont like the whight back ground for the posts sore on the eyes:cool: wont want to look at it tomorow morning with a hang over :D:cool::cool:

[Ally S]

Nice one. It looks quite good.

One thing i've noticed is the Home button at the top goes to content.php which is a restricted page (maybe it should be index.php or /).

[Gismo]

Nice one. It looks quite good.

One thing i've noticed is the Home button at the top goes to content.php which is a restricted page (maybe it should be index.php or /).Nope, it's right enough, i just haven't sussed out how to lay out the home page yet :blush:
I'll get there eventually

[Scottie]

where do I find the option to view "todays posts" like we had on the old version.

Also can you explain what this blog and cms stuff is and what's the point to it.


(cms to me is customer management software):blush:

[Scottie]

also any chance we can get the sponsor section moved to the bottom of the forum.?? It's just to busy with them at the top don't you think.?

[MINI William]

Alan well done. Don't know if I like it in all honesty think it's just a tad to busy IMHO :smilewinkgrin:

[Craig]

This is gonna take a LOT of getting used to... :confused:

the reply to is a tad annoying, however I understand the need to upgrade. The colours are hard to use, but as you say you are still trying to make it the way you want.. :yes nod:

[Stewart]

Got to emit its bright, liked the old colours as it was more pleasing on the eye. Hope all goes well with getting it back to near the norm.

[Delboy]

That's bizarre - I can't see this on my screen! Could be another "work PC" issue :rolleyes:.

Alan, no problems seeing the date/time stamp on my home pc. Maybe the new software needs a more current version of Internet Explorer?? Anyway, it looks a lot better than I first thought now that I can see everything :thumbs up:.

[Fartin Martin]

Try clearing your browser cache and try again, although there isn't anything published there yet, you should still get to see the home page
how do I do this??is it Tools..then Browsing history etc??

Cheers
Martin

[Gismo]

how do I do this??is it Tools..then Browsing history etc??

Cheers
MartinAlmost, tools then properties and then clear the browsing history etc

[Gismo]

Got to emit its bright, liked the old colours as it was more pleasing on the eye. Hope all goes well with getting it back to near the norm. Is the brightness toned down enough????

[Stewart]

Loved the old colour scheme it was the type that you felt never burned your eye’s out.
But hey its Xmas and its not even close to annoying, now that Iceland advert with the Nolan now that’s another story. I’d move to Baku just to miss it, every blooming year.

[Crombers]

Aye before you open the thread it shows to date & time but no sign of anything once you are in the thread

[stoney]

well i can see it in the wee blue bar above your name and above every ones name

[Stewart]

Works fine here, Stoney - Today 11:48 AM

and me Today 02:36 PM

[Delboy]

Aye before you open the thread it shows to date & time but no sign of anything once you are in the thread

I think it might be something to do with the version of Internet Explorer you are using - I can see the date/time ok on my home pc but not on my work pc (which is not so up to date).

[joec73]

i am also have problems on the laptop with the colour scheme.
at the moment i have old school nms selected but it is white and light blue were as on the pc upstairs it is the old style with snow falling.

also at the top it says bulletin and not nms

anyone any ideas?

BrianAre you sure you are actually logged in? if so, then selecting the NMS scheme should do just that

Edit: I should also add that if you log out of NMS this will revert your next session to the default vBulletin scheme

[joec73]

yes logged in as i am on the laptop this now.

i only have one option in the theme selector and that is old school nms

[joec73]

have tried to log out and back in but cant get the scheme to change.

seems strange because the pc upstairs is fine.

both running firefox

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a264/joec1/Untitled-1.gifTry deleting the browser cache and all NMS cookies

[joec73]

still the same on the forum
although the home page has the old colours and snow but it tells me i do not have permission to access this page

[The Dogfather]

Alan, I'm having the same issue at work as well

[Gismo]

Alan, I'm having the same issue at work as wellWhich issue?

[The Dogfather]

The wrong colour scheme one, I've deleted the cache and logged out.

[Gismo]

The wrong colour scheme one, I've deleted the cache and logged out.Very strange, ok, if you can, click on the Home button on the top nav bar, then hover your mouse over the Home header opposite Sections and a wee pencil should appear, in there you should be able to select the NMS scheme.
Note, you cannot select the scheme from the footer on the home page

[The Dogfather]

No pencil for me. I do get a message saying I don't have permissions to view that homepage though.

[Crombers]

Think I'm gonna have to call the NMS Helpdesk :confused: :thumbs up:

[Crombers]

I think it might be something to do with the version of Internet Explorer you are using - I can see the date/time ok on my home pc but not on my work pc (which is not so up to date).

Ah good man Delboy, you explanation would appear to be valid one :thumbs up:

[The Dogfather]

I don't think its the IE version, I'm using IE8 and it doesn't work even when I use the compatibility setting

[Gismo]

Can someone send me an image so that i can request support from vBulletin on this

[joec73]

i posted an image on the 4th page if that is any use

[Gismo]

i posted an image on the 4th page if that is any useI can't see photobucket images when i'm at work, can you e-mail it to me?

[Gismo]

Ok, according to vBulletin the issue of not seeing the post date and time is a known bug in IE6 and may happen in other browsers, this will be rectified with the next major update in early January, so, please bear with me until the next release of the siftware

[Scottie]

still the same on the forum
although the home page has the old colours and snow but it tells me i do not have permission to access this page


same for me

[Scottie]

also can you answer a previous question that i asked. Where to I find the link for "todays posts" can't find it some help would be great

[joec73]

Gismo man, pm sent

[Gismo]

also can you answer a previous question that i asked. Where to I find the link for "todays posts" can't find it some help would be greatThis does not exist in the same manner as the previous software, however, i'm attempting to code it so i can create the link for everyone to use.
Give me a day or so to work it out

[The Dogfather]

This has helped me decide on whether I'll be upgrading in the near future ;)

[Scottie]

ok ta just thought it was me being stupid not finding it.

[Gismo]

This has helped me decide on whether I'll be upgrading in the near future ;)So, you'll be sticking with version 3 :thumbs up:
I'm thinking i'm gonna switch off the CMS until they get it fixed, too many bugs in it

[Delboy]

I notice if I am viewing as a guest I can see the Home Page ok but not when I am logged in


If viewing as a guest I can read all the forum and threads. Was it not the case in the old version you had to be a member of the forum before you could read the threads.

Safari. Should have said after your last post that it was working ok now.

However I thought on this night with you being far from home I'd give you something to keep you busy.

[Scottie]

Also I tried to change my avatar and I got a data base error and it didn't change it

wanted to change it to this http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y96/scottiecoop/AnimatedGifTools9.gif not sure though if it is within the limits allowed re size for the site

[Gismo]

[Gismo]

I changed the font size for the post reply boxes, works for the standard editor at the moment, makes it much easier to read for us auld yins :blush: :Whistle:

[joec73]

any luck with the colour scheme issue yet?

[Gismo]

any luck with the colour scheme issue yet?I can't replicate your problem in any browser, can you confirm that you are logged in, have selected Old School NMS in the lower left drop down box?
If you have, then it's near impossible to not have the NMS colour scheme, what browser are you using

[Scottie]

What color should we be seeing. I have a white background and blue bar.

Still can not access the home page but maybe because you do not have anything posted on yet for me to have the permissions to view.

ok so I am using safari cleared all my cache reset everything log out log in but still I do not get that scheme. Why.??? I am viewing in Old School NMS??

Strange. Anyone else with a Mac having the same issue? My iPhone uses Safari and it has changed the display to Old School NMS and looks fine.

[Stewart]

I get the white here on IE8 and it says oldschool but i dont see the above

[The Dogfather]

I get the default vbulletin (blue/white) scheme when viewing at home but I see the 'old'(purple) scheme at home

[Stewart]

I take it thats at Work and Home, i take it the trying of a new drink Port is working out then :hand:

[Scottie]

my phone is still showing the white background with blue bar cleared cookies cache logged out and then back in showing as oldschool nms in the lower left bottom blue bar.

[Craig]

I have cleared everything and when I log in everytime I have to select "old school nms" as it always defaults to the v bulletin blue and white.. :-( and that is on all my pc's

I have to say, I'm not finding this new version of vbulletin very user friendly, it may have more gimmicks, but it's not as easy to use from a user perspective.. I suppose we are stuck with it tho...

[The Dogfather]

I take it thats at Work and Home, i take it the trying of a new drink Port is working out then :hand:

Yes, oops.

Given that stuff up the hangover lasted two days :eek:

[Gismo]

For the folks that are having the colour scheme issues, do you log off from NMS when you are finished or do you simply close the browser.

If you log off the colour scheme reverts to the default when you next log in.

Make sure you select remember me and don't log out, shut the browser down and start it again, now what do you see

I have tried all the things you have suggested but i still have this

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a264/joec1/Untitled-1.gif

[Scottie]

same for me nothing is working to change the colour scheme.

where else should I go to choose the style????

currently I am showing old school nms and English (us) using the bottom blue bar of the page to the left "quick style chooser" they are no other styles to choose from and no defaults.

[joec73]

i had old school on the pc upstairs yesterday , then i tried to see if i had something different to the laptop.
now i have the same bright white forum on both computers.
very annoying being so bright, is there no way to change the colour scheme other than the quick style (that doesnt do anything)

[Gismo]

I have tried all the things you have suggested but i still have thisI don't understand what is going on, i've actually disabled the CMS function which adds the HOME tab on the Navbar, it should not appear and yet you can still see it

[The Dogfather]

Alan, is there something in the back end to refresh people profiles?

[Gismo]

Alan, is there something in the back end to refresh people profiles?Sadly nope :sad:
I've tried every browser available and it works for me, except IE6 which is not suitable but no one is admitting to using it.
Fi for example uses Safari and when i use it i can switch from default to NMS Old School no problem.
So, i can only assume that it's the users PC causing the problem :sad: they simply are not managing to engage the style correctly

[Craig]

This is a known issue, why do you log out when you're finished with NMS?

What user friendly problems are you having?

I log out of nms everytime as I also have. habit as I logoff my sessions at work everytime I leave my desk....


the user friendly things are

1 reply to post takes you to quick reply where you have no smilies and you have to click go advanced every time to get a problem reply box.
2 no easy "todays posts" button to see what has happened today - especially handy for me as I logon at work on my phone to check things out, but don't have enough time to reply, but might do when I get home.
3 default view should be old school nms as I think everyone agrees it looks better than vbulletin default
4 I don't like the way it shows the new posts, If I look at a thread and post a reply, then do a refresh, it;s not easy to see if someone has replied to it. It used to shows as highlighted and was easy to work out that there was a new reply in there..

[Gismo]

I log out of nms everytime as I also have. habit as I logoff my sessions at work everytime I leave my desk....Don't do it, just close the browser


the user friendly things are


1 reply to post takes you to quick reply where you have no smilies and you have to click go advanced every time to get a problem reply boxdouble click the reply button, this opens the advance reply feature.


2 no easy "todays posts" button to see what has happened today - especially handy for me as I logon at work on my phone to check things out, but don't have enough time to reply, but might do when I get homeThis is now "fixed" select FORUMS and then quick links and it's right there.


3 default view should be old school nms as I think everyone agrees it looks better than vbulletin defaultYou can't delete the default view, i can over write it but, that means users cannot choose which one they want, not everyone likes the same so i gave the option


4 I don't like the way it shows the new posts, If I look at a thread and post a reply, then do a refresh, it;s not easy to see if someone has replied to it. It used to shows as highlighted and was easy to work out that there was a new reply in there..Not sure what you mean here, but, if you reply to a thread your answer is displayed and if someone else ahs that will be easily visible as well

[The Dogfather]

Alan, I have just logged in using firefox, on that browser I get the vbulletin default scheme yet on Safari its the NMS scheme.

[Gismo]

Alan, I have just logged in using firefox, on that browser I get the vbulletin default scheme yet on Safari its the NMS scheme.First time log in on any new browser is the default vBulletin, from there you change it to old school nms and it should stay there presuming you don't log out when you are finished

[The Dogfather]

Well that's buggered it!

I logged out of safari and back in and I'm now into the vbulletin scheme on that as well.

Alan, try logging out yourself then back in I bet you get the vB scheme as well.

[Craig]

Not sure what you mean here, but, if you reply to a thread your answer is displayed and if someone else ahs that will be easily visible as well

If I look at new posts, I can't tell from the list if the thread has been updated as it's not highlighted like it used to be. The icons on the left show either as red/orange or blueish, but that doesn't seem to mean anything.

[The Dogfather]

Alan, can you create a duplicate NMS scheme so that people can actually switch between them, this might force through the new scheme. At the moment you have to have the old nms scheme but its actually the vb one

If you want I'll take a look at the back end but that's up to you.

[Gismo]

Well that's buggered it!

I logged out of safari and back in and I'm now into the vbulletin scheme on that as well.

Alan, try logging out yourself then back in I bet you get the vB scheme as well.Nope, i log out and it stays in NMS mode even when logged off, then i log back in and i'm still in NMS mode

[Gismo]

Alan, can you create a duplicate NMS scheme so that people can actually switch between them, this might force through the new scheme. At the moment you have to have the old nms scheme but its actually the vb oneI created another NMS type scheme called Test, folks, try that

[The Dogfather]

how many colour scheme do you have available to you?

[The Dogfather]

Yes, that worked :D

[Gismo]

how many colour scheme do you have available to you?Total of 3, vBulletin default, Old School NMS and the latest one called Test based on the NMS one

[The Dogfather]

Both browsers now work and when I select the old school one it doesn't revert back to the vb scheme either

[The Dogfather]

I think you need at least two to force through a change, the physical act of switching forces it through.

Question is what does a newbie see when they join?

[Gismo]

If I look at new posts, I can't tell from the list if the thread has been updated as it's not highlighted like it used to be. The icons on the left show either as red/orange or blueish, but that doesn't seem to mean anything.If there is a new post there is a small blue circular icon and if you hover your cursor over it it says go to first new post

Alan are we getting the wee mini logos on each forum that indicates when a thread has a new post you know the mini changes colour rather just the wee thought bubble thing you have the now.

you can not post but you can see every one that has posted just a note thats all

Actually works better this way and keeps more members

It was just some thing I noticed that's all

When u put it like that it's a good idea :-)

[Bazthemod]

I notice search only seems to work for posts created after the new software... is there anyway to search back to the older posts?

[MINI William]

IE 6 has this problem, what browser are you using?

At work it's either 6 or 7. At Megans it's aol V9

I notice search only seems to work for posts created after the new software... is there anyway to search back to the older posts?Click on advanced search, insert the details you want, then scroll down the page and select "a year ago" in the first drop down box and then "and older" in the next, try that.
You gotta remember that the vBulletin search feature has always been absolutely rubbish and much complained about by board owners

Still doesn't work for me, just returns no results or only finds the posts this side of the upgrade.

Finally back in the land of the living! Mad password reset issue, who knows which point on the compass the sun rises? As the software doesn't think I'm right!

Anyway, thanks Alan for getting me sorted!
