Welcome to vBulletin!

[CommonSense]

There you go.  See?  It's done.  They said I'd never get around to it, but I showed them.  The forums have been converted.  People began to bitch and whine about three hours after the original UBB forums first went online, some time in 2001, suggesting pretty much every other alternative available.  We ended up (more or less) settling on -- well, disagreeing the least on -- vBulletin.

So, a few things to note:

• There is only one username -- what you use to log in is what appears on your messages.  Some of you may find this mildly embarrassing.
• I haven't imported the styles, so for now, it's the default, generic vBulletin style, as you may have noticed.
• There are probably going to be random weird quirks until we get it all worked out.  Bear with me.

Anyway, have fun, kids.  Improvements to come.

Yes, you are, since posting was disabled out of the box for several hours.  I've just now fixed that.

Hrmph.  This is going to be definitely be a nightmare to configure at first.  When and if it's all set up, though, it should be nice and smooth.  But expect lots of bugs and weirdness in these first few days.

The incorrect "last visited" date is another weird artifact of importing from UBB.  But I expected lots of weirdness, so I'm not really surprised.  So far, it's actually not QUITE as bad as I feared it would be.

Most of the old messages are screwed up (quotes, blockquotes, etc.) and the template isn't what the UBB template used to be.

I'll be looking into the template.

Can't the old posts be scrubbed somehow?  Or VB taught to parse them correctly?  I'm no longer user #7

BTW, where's 'fast reply?'  I thought that was a feature of VB.

as long as the forum stops looking and acting like a fisher-price toy, im fine with it.

I'm definetly liking the vBulletin! I post on another site (harmony-central.com) that is still using version 2.2.6 and it's screwed up with Firefox. The new version is pretty sweet.

I'm lovin it!! (thats a contraction for "I am loving it" which is an anagram for "Ailing Vomit"

You like it? I was the one who suggested this fine piece of forum software.

Btw, I'm not exactly a huge fan of Maddox :p

The file size limit for attachments needs upped to something more reasonable, like say 100kb at least.

[Aaron Ni]

And I'm guessing vBulletin will not have changeable nicks like UBB?  I'm going to have to get another account... with a proper name now.

I vote for 20 messages per page, 10 is just way too small.

Yay! A brand new forum!

And no more of those 'edited by' lines that take up space!

[Aloone_Jonez]

What the fuck MS Paint and Word are accepted "standard" formats and OpenOffice.org isn't!

FUCK THIS SHIT!

Try it your self!

See attached as evidence!

Oh and here's a screen shot of what happens when you try to attach an OpenOffice.org document, vBulletin doesn't have anything to do with Microsoft does it?

If they had any sense they wouldn't do what Windows does and rely on file extentions it should be done the UNIX way!

Edit:
Please tell me you're not using Windows sever 2003 because that would really take the piss!
