I think I found a bug - when we switch to the mobi skin there doesnt seem to be a way to switch back. I feel like I am stuck in emacs. How do I fix this?

You don't switch to it on your PC. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Actually this is something I hate. the mobi style has to be user selectable for the auto switching to work. There are a couple ways to get back, mostly with the back button. I was actually interested to see how people today would solve this. Another link will probably be added to it.

Mobi does have a lot of mod abilities. Was impressed by that. It's going to be possible for people with smartphones to deal with posts anywhere if they want for the first time. It's not easy enough to navigate 2+2 from a phone right now to do anything, so whatever here is a bonus to me. Aside from the default, mobi is also the only style used that was created by others. We'll have to tweak it a bit more. Open to color suggestions too.

I'll enable yours now too. As mentioned above, though, mods wont be able to edit much on profiles because of the way vB separates powers.

For those interested in some other nice stuff that's coming soon with vBulletin, you can read about 3.7 here:

Last major release before they devote most of their time to version 4.

I think this looks really good. 1 thing:

When you infract someone, can the rest of the forum see it? The *** system in OOT was cool because you could automatically see who was a retard, and there seems to be no way of designating this now (cant change custom titles etc). It would be nice to be able to make some system of public punishment/humilitation available.

Also, I am going to have a field day with the "annoucement" feature. That is AWESOME.

The find IP addresses by user feature is worth the switch alone to determine if new users are existing problems returning to 2+2. I just discovered that BluffThis never cheated on his bet against PokerBob (and had only one gimick account surprisingly called gimmick which was nuked), and PokerBob had a gimmick account called "The_MPC" which was also nuked. PB has a lot of IP addresses so I didn't search them all. The only downside of this system is it doesn't log the dates used by the IP address. Also i noticed RT and PB had the same IP address at one time, perhaps they spent the night together in MN? Scandal!

Of course I'm joking around a bit, this tool will come in handy for legitimate reasons.

[*TT*]

infractions have a time limit, is that the temp-ban feature or do the infractions actually expire?

[ama0330]

How does the thread rating system work? I assume that it is a weighted average as I voted and it didnt come up, but how many people have to vote on it before it shows?

[Ryan Beal]

Infaction points can be set to expire eventually or left permanent. This is all stuff you guys can decide at the time for now.
