New Member at IPB Webmaster?

  1. For the people that don't know me I am Bob the new owner of IPB Setup. I bought the site from Brandon and have imported all the data going back to when John owned the site. I have rearranged a few things and added others. I still have work to do. I have to import the blog, gallery and cms data. I have a couple skins in mind that I want to use so I'll be changing the look in the next couple days. I have a few permission tweaks to do and I have to copy over my guidelines that I use on all my sites. Your username and passwords should work. This was an IPB to IPB merge so nothing should have happened with the logins. Let me know if you have any problems. I'd like to…

  2. Too flashy for me personally.

  3. Bob, just for the record - I purchased the IPB Webmaster.com domain on 4 February, 2010. On 5 February, I purchased the Invision licenses used on that site. In late July of that same year, I suffered a mild (if there can be such a thing) stroke and started scaling back my online presence. IPB Webmaster was still a fledgling community that needed a lot of effort to be nurtured into real life, so I passed along the database and all the IPB Webmaster and IPB Help domain names, free-of-charge, to our mutual friend, the owner of that 'upstart Admin community'. I did sell the Invision licenses used on that site, to the same individual, at a later date. I was unaware…

  4. Thanks for the welcome. I am new to IPB so I'll be asking many questions.

    I purchased Novera from John at Transverse Styles. It is now the default skin for the site. If you would rather use the old style you can select it at the bottom left of the page from the dropdown or set it as your default style in the profile settings page.

    Hi I'm M3xital also a member over at vBulletin Setup. I've just bought my first IPB licenses, hopping this place to become an important reference point for IPB script users. :)

  7. I'm going to install wordpress on the home page, and I'll sync up the users with the members on the forum. woohoo!

    I got an invite to Tweetboard and decided I'd give it a whirl. I didn't like it at first, but, it has sort of grown on me. We'll see how it goes and if I decide to keep it.

  9. I'm going to import the old IPBSetup database from when John ran it sometime this week. I see another unique webmaster IPB DB that I may pick up and import as well. So if you see some errors this week, I'm sure it's me breaking something :lol:

    Well, after doing more and more reading about vB4 and how many people didn't like it, even users, I decided to jump ship and convert to IPB. At this very moment, it's being converted. :) I was scared to convert because I'm a big board and rank really well in google for the things I want to rank well with. After reading AWS's blog about all his stats improving, on top of reading many other successes, I decided to try the IPB demo out. Needless to say, I was very impressed and have become very excited about making this move. I use to be apart Brandon's vb setup site, but looks like this will be my new home! I'm glad to be here and excited to start learning new th…

    Some of you might have an account here when John owned the site and then signed up again when Brandon owned it. If you have 2 accounts post in this thread what the accounts are and I will send you an email on each account to verify the accounts are yours. Once you reply I will merge the accounts. I have already merged John and Brandons accounts.

  12. I was testing out this IP mod that helps integrate 3rd part applications and I messed up the install, but I know what to do now. Welcome again :P

    Hello everybody, my username on DP is Kush86 I was going to join sooner but had somethings to work out with my other projects. Now I am ready to build my forum. I bought Invision Community Forum, Invision Community Blog, and Invision Community Pages. I can't wait to learn some stuff about tweaking my forum.

  14. I've added the Invision Community Blogs, and I think I have all the usergroup settings correct, but I don't see how I can create a new blog. I'll just have to play around with it, or if anyone knows what I'm missing, please speak up.

    Been studying a lot about IPB and ran into a lot of Brandon's post :) So I followed to this website. Name's Panupat. Nice to meet you. I ran a Final Fantasy website in Thai language using phpBB with a custom php to pull stuff from the BB onto my main page. Always wanted to switch to CMS so my team can update the websites too. Currently all the data are hand made in Dreamweaver. Invision Community Pages got me very excited. Definitely will try it out on my website :) Hoping I'll be able to recreate my website's appearance on IPB. http://www.all-final.com/home/

    Anyways, I'm el canadiano, a proud IPB owner since 2007. I've also been around some great IPB forums since I've been in the forum software business. Anyways, congrats to Brandon, you will love IPB, I've always liked it from the start. I hope you can teach guys like me some stuff while I'm here.

    Hello all! Let me introduce myself and why I'm here. My name is John and I own Transverse Styles. I have been developing forum skins for many years.
