I will say, though, that at the top of my list for any new styles is a dark skin. I don't know that it would be a direct port, but it should be done by one of us sooner than later.

Do we know the hour when this will go down?

Re: Final vB Testing
 

No custom titles is great. how do i ban peeps.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

Some Questions:

1. How do I tempban someone or can I not do that? I’m still unclear after reading this thread.

2. I don't seem to have access to User Panel, should I?

3. How do I see someone’s IP address? I can’t figure that out. Is this another privilege that I need to have added?

Re: Final vB Testing
 

I can't login. Hm. Says login/password is incorrect. I demand answers.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

I couldn't at first because I forgot that my username is JaredL, not jdl22 which is my current username. If you weren't already, use ZBTHorton as your login username.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

I had that same problem, I just requested a new password, then was able to login.

Hover your cursor on the fourth right icon, (a computer), at the bottom of the window under the name.

I don't appear to have access to "user options."

Re: Final vB Testing
 

ryan - I seem to be stuck in EMACs again. odd because last night I was able to return to infopop but when i restarted my computer the skin returned to mobi. I cant find the option you added to change the skin while in mobi, can you help by changing back to the default please? thanks.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

All -

StevieG asked me to post this in the mod forum in regards to the VB switch-
==================================================
In response to Iron's request for a "How to use vB" post, I drafted something. Having no access to the mod forum, I posted it on the vB test forum. here is a link:

http://vb.twoplustwo.com/showthread....214#post396214

Could you post this in the Mod forum on my behalf so that we an get a review of it before posting it in ATF?

Thanks,
SG

Re: Final vB Testing
 

That reads really well. Clear, informative, and friendly.

It has quelled my fears considerably, so think what it will do for the computer inept.

ummm... what?

As for the first part, I agree on a quick review that StevieG does good work.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

You probably already said this somewhere and I missed it, but it looks to me like user notes are not coming over in the upgrade. Is that correct?

mike - wanna post it on behalf of Stevie? more people will read it if you post it (giving him credit of course).

Re: Final vB Testing
 

I suggested to him that he might post it in ATF and we could lock-sticky it, including a link to an open duplicate thread for questions and comment.

If he thought of any additional points to make, we could edit them in, or he could include them in the duplicate thread, as he seems to have nailed almost all of the important stuff, already.

I'd be very happy to post it for him, but he might like his name on a thread that will undoubtedly have thousands of views.

Would you like to ask him what he'd prefer? Thanks.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

Stevie is still awesome.

We should save this for after, though. In my opinion guides like this are much better when people have the software in front of them. I was still planning on writing a few myself, but it looks like Stevie may relieve me of having to do some of it.

The forumtest subdomain is being turned off within the next hour or so. Thanks for the input, guys.

This shouldn't happen again with any new installs. I'm betting clearing your cache would solve this if the option wasn't showing.

this sucks, like, a lot

is there some way of giving everyone a default note that links them back to their 2+2 admin page?

Re: Final vB Testing
 

It does suck, but that's kinda just the type of thing I think people have to accept about software ports. In some ways we're lucky to get much of any info ported from software like UBB to vB.

There was some talk of using a script to get all the info into its own page. Not really seeing the usefulness of that at this point, though. It's still going to a different source for the info people would like to have in vB.

That the userids change makes a link like that less feasible to implement. We can try to do all sorts of user name linking, but that's dicey. So for the initial switch it's likely nothing extra will be done with this.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

I like that we seem to be able to add Notes on other mods' accounts; and I don't think the subject mod can read them.

We can all meet in Dids' Notebox and talk about him.

LOL.

Ryan or Mike, if you have a minute let me know what my notes say before they get nuked. I want to know whether or not NT! called me a "cockjouster".

Re: Final vB Testing
 

Shouldn't be the case. I'll have to remember to adjust those permissions. 2+2 mods are a unique usergroup in our vB install. To get everyone assigned in the import some custom work on impex (the importer) had to be done by Jelsoft types.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

That's a pity. A few of us like to meet up in certain readers' Noteboxes for ongoing chats; to pass recipes and the like.

It would have been neat to know that Tuq couldn't troll us if we were having a good time in his Box.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

"Favorite Topics" are still going to be lost in the upgrade, right? What about "Post Reminders"?

Re: Final vB Testing
 

Do you think there is going to be a huge spam attack due to the software switchover?

Ryan,
Can you add those user permissions to me as well? Because I didn't appear to have them in the test.

Thanks,

Re: Final vB Testing
 

wow, first time i'm looking at the vb moderating stuff in any way seriously, and there's some crazy [censored] in there. if i go and look at someone's profile though, where's the "save" button? is this what all this permissions stuff is about that i'm seeing people talk about?

Re: Final vB Testing
 

I suck, can someone tell me if the PMs are gonna be wiped out forever or not? I can't remember and think they may be and if so I'll hunt down StevieG's app to save them. They weren't just gossip type stuff, there are a couple with personal information that I wish to keep. Thanks.

Re: Final vB Testing
 

Joe Tall,

"To speed up the process we've decided not to import PMs. However, everything will remain in the current software as an archive, so you won't actually lose anything. It's just not going to be coming with to vB."

Perfect. Thanks for the link.
