Sometime in the next few days we'll be making an upgrade to the board. Due to the nature of the upgrade, the graphics will revert to standard "out of the box" vbulletin look and feel until we can get the graphics updated. Please be patient during this process.
Want some suggestions?
oh boy.... this should be interesting....
yea, go for it.
Mobile!?!?

when you get to the end od the thread, it should be easier to jump back to the Forun you are in (or another for that matter). I.e., move the Forum jump drop down above Quick Reply

on another VBulletin board I frequent that have features for "My Posts" and "Who Quoted me?" in the Welcome box (see attachment). They are pretty handy. I don't use the thread ones very often.
att he bottom of a page and above the Posting Rules. show the Current Viewers in the thread:
Minimize quick reply and then it's right there!! I use that "Forum Jump" all the time.Quote:

if people use it, then it helps you find old threads better. Right now, nobody uses it.
ahhhh, now I see.Quote:

On the "Extras" tab:
- You can remove the latechreport.com link.
- BleedTechBlue.com is linked as the Scout site. You can add HereComeTheDawgs.com and link the two to the correct sites.
- T-Mo's Photos are linked to dawgpix.com. It'd probably be best to change that link to LaTechSportsPix.com.
- There's really no point to the Z-107.5 link anymore since we can't listen live anymore.
- Would you add Patrick Walsh's blog as a link?
- Maybe link the Tech tabs from The Times and TNS.
- Maybe add a link to LA Tech All-Access.
- Maybe link SonnyDykes.com.
I don't know why but HogDawg wanted me to ask.Quote:

Well you've done it. I am finally at a loss for words.
Embed YouTube videos?
Active twitter feed on the homepage?
PWalsh

Louisiana Tech University
LTAC
Sonny Dykes

A lot of the features and suggestions that have been posted are able to be incorporated. The new version of vb has a lot of this, and in fact, our current version does as well. We made a decision a number of years ago to try to minimize page load times by disabling certain features. Now that everyone SHOULD be on high speed connections, it's probably time for us to re-evaluate some of those features.
Let us get through the upgrade and get the site back to "looking right" and then Doc and I can spend some time getting some of this incorporated.
Keep the suggestions coming. This is GOOD STUFF and will help us improve the site.
Thanks for all you do for BB&B subscribers!
Did I just get volunteered for something?!?
No, that statement insinuates that somebody ELSE raised your hand. That is factually incorrect. YOU volunteered when you agreed to become an admin (a.k.a., grunt)!
Ok, maybe so.... but I thought that there would be some kind of training period!!! Instead it's been "here's the passwords, I quit!!!" :rolleyes4:
How many years has it been now??? And you STILL need training? Sounds like a government employee talking :D
... and LOVIN your tax dollars!!!
:laugh:
Can we get a bookmark/tab icon?
Tags are for nerds. Plus I always accidentally hit "edit tags" on my iPhone.
I use the forum jump all the time too.Quote:

I just need to make sure I have time to do the upgrade and then time to work with all the graphics issues that I'm sure are going to need addressing. I'm really looking at the off week as the best time to do that because traffic will be down to some extent and people won't be screaming for everything to look right again. I'll let you know when the time gets closer.
Bye week. Oct. 15:icon_wink:
I'm calling it - that's the week all hell breaks loose conference wise for usQuote:

There is a very slight possibility that I will be doing the site upgrade either tonight or tomorrow night. I will be traveling and depending upon what time I get in and how tired I am when I get there, I may make a stab at the upgrade. Just an FYI.
Uhmmmm. I decided to set up a test site before going live here. Let's just say that was a VERY wise decision!!! It's been WAY too long since I've had to interpret and modify code!!!
Matt -
We need to get Quang to design a header that incorporates the STRIPES as one of our choices....
The Red-to-Black Bulldog Header would be a good start . . . . . just saying.Quote:

More later, I've got to close my eyes for a bit.
Looking very good though. Thank you for everything you (and the other admin) do!Quote:

I've created a thread in the Member Help forum so if you find issues or things which need to be corrected, please post them there.
Is there a way to delete or move the vB4 Default style and make BB&B Default as the parent. When a person enters the site (before logging in) it defaults to the vBulletin style.
Done.
Thanks for making BB&B better.
I love the old feature of finding new posts to subscribed threads. Is that feature missing . . . or am I missing it?
Thanks
If you are on the Forum tab, right under it and to the right is 'Quicklinks'. A drop down menu should appear when you click it and and a link for 'Subscribed Threads' is there. All your subscribed threads pop-up when you click that link. Not quite the same as when clicking User CP, but it is pretty much the same.Quote:

Thank you.
The first suggestion is helpful. All the subscribed threads with new posts has a button on it.
The second suggestion IS what I was looking for.
What causes this ( the 'i-)
Saturday's Hawai'i-Louisiana Tech
Where do you see that??
(It's likely some kind of scripting error)
Is their a mobile version for iPhone? I visited yesterday through Safari and it looks the same as the computer version.
I haven't read all of this thread so excuse me it this has already been addressed. I use the User CP a lot to look at threads I have subscribed to and see if there are any responces. It seems to be omitted from the quick navigator at the bottom of each page and at the top of the opening page. Is there any chance that can be restored?
Click on the 'Settings' link next to the 'Log Out' link on top under the banner. It is the User CP.Quote:

Mobile Style is now active. If you come to the forum from your mobile device, it should pull up in the mobile style. Still want to customize the colors a little more, but it works for now.
Hey Chris. vB just posted a message that we have a new upgrade.... as of YESTERDAY...

Love the red squares in the listing. Thanks!
I Love the TABLES!!! Thanks
Did something else change last night? Mine looks different.
It's your birthday, so the template gets screwed up like I mentioned in the punch list that you "have never seen". :icon_wink:Quote:

Yes, it was an eyesore. Since the layout of the box with the birthday message is different than the rest of the board, somehow it ends up controlling the rest as if it is the default box that changes everything.Quote:

Yea... I clear those out about once a week or two. Next time it comes up for renewal, we are not going to renew that part.
Can we get the picture section back?
Humm.... didn't know it wasn't working. I'll check into it.
