    When I use ie7 opening the board, ie7 crashes and closes the connection (website cannot be opened) No problems in FF and GG. Anyone else have this?

  3. Wow, this is fantastic! I've always hated how Invision Community Forum doesn't have the hover-over tooltip preview like vBulletin does, but I knew it wouldn't be long before they caught up in this aspect. But boy did they do more than catch up - they've implemented this so elegantly and intelligently! Invision Power never ceases to amaze me. B)

  4. A new forum category for ex-Vbulletin users would be very useful. We (ex-vb clubbers) can discuss the things and ask our questions. I know i could do it on invision forums but i dont want to ruin there with my vb questions. I am sure there are many admins like me and it would also give some boost to this forum.

    I recently bought the domain https://notusing.net. I use it to park domains I am either going to sell or use in the future. When I got disgusted with Internet Brands attitude and vbulletin I had an idea. I have 5 unused vbulletin licenses. They all used to point to the domains they were installed. What I did was change the domains license to point to https://notusing.net. I didn't want any of the communities I have converted from vbulletin to IPB to be associated with the IB brand or vbulletin. I have since pointed all sorts of scripts that require a domain to be set for license purposes that I no longer use to the domain. If you want to use the domain just set …

    Hows everyone doing? I know I haven't been around much, my new vbulletin site has taken some of my online time :blink: and my support for ipb is about to expire, I'll renew it as soon as I get a spare 25$ in paypal Just wanted to see how everyone was doing? Are you all as sick of the cold and snow as I am :D

  7. I've been running tests on both vB and IPB installs over the past couple of months, while lining up a couple of personal projects (this, in wait for vB Gold-er :P :D ). Every step of the way, these hurdles have been springing up in front of the vB side of the equation. First there were the bug riddled releases. Then, yesterday I finally decided that I will run one project on vB and one on IPB. Tonight I finally got some time to go ahead and start mapping out the final approach. I erased the previous install of the vB - because it had been up/down-converted a dozen times and I didn't want any straggler glitches left over - and proceeded to do a fresh install. Bam! "Fat…

    Congrats on your latest AA promotion, Brandon. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/424/aavodkasm.jpg :D

  9. As a potential vB convert, how do you add comments to photos in the galleries? There is a comment count, but I'm not seeing a button or link to add a comment?

  10. Hi Brandon, Thanks for setting up the IPB version of setup. I like you, have moved one of my forums from vB to IPB. I thought I'd point out there is a page loading error on the home page. It's a java error related to the shout-box. I kept getting the same error myself whenever I enabled the shoutbox on the sidebar. I thought I'd point it out, if you figure out a fix, let me know! -Chris

    The whole site is really starting to take shape. I especially like the main page. The only suggestion I would make is to change the gallery display to look like forum categories until you get a larger amount of albums. Other than that the place is shaping up real nice.

  12. Hi Brandon, (old vb groupie here, hehe) I played around a bit with the forum index, as I found the default theme and many of its variants rather flat. If you look at the forum index, the only thing that pops out is the "In" and "By" in the third column. That's not exactly the desired meat and potatoes of any forum's front page, is it? :D Here's a quick and dirty of my test board with the default theme's forum titles gone bold: /monthly_01_2010/post-155-1338226680764_thumb.png Kind of like familiar old times, a bit, isn't it? Refreshing. :D Next project: turn unread topics bold on what we've come to know our forumdisplay page. That one is even flatter t…

    I've bought a IPB license for FBodyOnline and set up a test site to try out the converter and look for potential problems when I do a final conversion later on. Hopefully in the next couple months after I add my design and some modifications.

    What are your thoughts on the swiftness of the search. Its hard to get a good compare between vB and IP in this area because I am unsure of either site hardware. I bring this up because the 'view new content' (only search I have really used yet) seems really lethargic on all the sites I have been on. Considering how swift and responsive the rest of the sites seem to be, the search seems like its choking up somewhere. Or is it just me? To me, search responsiveness (and of course relevance) is crucial. Couple other things: 1- Is there a way to not show already read threads in the 'new content' results (kind of like vB) or do I just need to get used to it again? …

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help! Im looking at intergrating trialpay and superrewards on my site, but im stuck when it comes to the postback script. I was hoping there would be a generic one around on the net, but im having little luck! Heres the information superrewards gives - http://www.srpoints.com/docs/SuperRewards%20Developer%20Documentation.pdf and this is trial pay - http://merchant.trialpay.com/help/?page=dac Does anyone have any kind of knowledge when it comes to these scripts? Any tips on where I should start or any good guides that you know of. Any help really appreciated :)

    I know you are working on it, but I do not want to keep it to myself. Yesterday I noticed there was no direct link on the homepage to the boards index, only to the subforums. Is that supposed to be like that. Personaly I do not like it and want a normal link to the boards. Now I must go to a subforum and than to the index. Not userfriendly imvho http://ipbwebmaster.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif

    Why is it that many (or most) American boards have the general forums as last forum? I see it many times, the introductions, feedback etc are all downstairs. I find it a bit strange an does not welcome me as new member. Ok, I know how it goed, but there are more people who don't. I like it better to have the general forum on top. In it are the rules, announcements etc etc, almost anything a new member needs to read and needs to feel at home. So can you explain why it is pretty common to do it this way?
