Upgrade is completed

[TechDawgFan]

I have finally finished the system upgrade. I'm already aware of a few layout issues that need to be fixed, but I thought I would go ahead and open the board back up and let y'all get back at it. I'll work on the issues throughout the day.

If you happen to see any red X's of images that didn't load, please let me know. Also, start looking around for new features and post them here when you find them. I'll start letting a few cats out of the bag once I get all the small stuff fixed.

Sorry it took so long, but I had a few issues during the upload.

Also, for the time being, the BB&B Standard layout is the only one available. I'll need to update the other styles before you can go back to using them.

I noticed the multi-quote. I know some people will like that.

Yes, I'll describe that later, but be aware that it doesn't work in quick reply, only advanced.

That one was a pretty easy one to catch, some of the others will require some more searching!

I think I've taken care of most of the issues I had, so I'll go ahead and describe the multi quote.

From vBulletin:

Multi-Quote
The much-requested multi-quote feature allows users to tag multiple posts that they wish to respond to by clicking a small button on each post. Once the user clicks the reply button, each tagged post is quoted.

To increase usability, by default, only posts within the current thread are automatically quoted. If you wish to quote posts in other threads with multi-quote, you simply need to click a link on the reply page, and the text of those posts will be added without a reload.


So basically, select the posts you want to quote, and click the "Post Reply" button. The text from the posts will be included in the box where you type your message. You can then delete portions of them, type your response between them all, and go.

If anyone has any questions, ask them now or forever hold you peace!

P.S. Look at this message and you'll find another new feature:icon_wink

I see there is now an arrow box next to the "original quote" that takes you to the original post.

But on second thought this may not be bad -

all NON SOCCER fans can give SOCCER fans red cards so they can get "in touch" with their favorite game....

Now we just need something for the bike riders.....

Well i noticed if you try and give someone reputation there is a pop up instead of taking you to a different page.

DFM - where are these cards?

You caught it before I got my post made.

Reputation is now done via the AJAX system so you won't be taken to a new page. It also gives you a little popup message after you leave reputation for someone.

P.S. - Move you mouse around on the main forum page and see if you get a little message anywhere. You will need to have some forums with unread messages to see it.

Ok, is this new on the front page.
If I have already linked to one of the stories it stays black? While if I haven't it turns blue?

[JAB]

Huh?

[TechDawgFan]

No, that's not it. Don't go www.latechbbb.com, go to www.latechbbb.com/forum - the forum homepage.

It doesn't change because of the was we have the front end formated.

I not getting anything but the old stuff like "go to the last unread message".

[TechDawgFan]

Don't move it too fast. Look for your cursor to change and hold it there.

Like I said, you will need a forum that has unread messages in it in order to see the feature.
