Ryan, when you get time you should post about some of the features and enhancability (sp) of vB, to get people excited rather than the standard groans about last time, wood paneling, etc. From what I've seen it's pretty sweet. [/ QUOTE ] My plan for this was to make a comprehensive post about new stuff to look for that would go up after the switch. But it may be good to give people a preview beforehand, I suppose. I'll get to that a bit later when I have some time. Feel free to share anything that struck you as cool, though. |

Re: Important info about vBulletin
I think the AJAX thing you did is probably the biggest immediate wow-er.
In vB, Ryan implemented a mod where, when on a forum's main page, every thread has a [+] button that, if clicked, shows the first post in that thread w/o having to open the thread. How cool is that? Other nice perks: WYSIWYG post making/editing. The ability to easily quote multiple posts in your reply. Reduced spam. A badass [spoiler] tag that hides spoiler text or HH results until teh curious person clicks a button. No need for white text, and it'll be hidden regardless of your skin choice. |

One nice thing that even the mods haven't seen quite yet is that 2+2 will automatically switch to using a special lite skin on mobile devices, excluding the iPhone.

Re: Important info about vBulletin
The improved search capability of vB is a feature that most users should love.
I'll miss my low numbered user id, though. Sad face. |

IMPORTANT!!! Your 2+2 display name will be used for everything once we switch. vBulletin does not use separate login and display names. [/ QUOTE ] Are the archives getting moved into the new system? Right now, my posts in the archives show up under my login name, which is different than my display name. |

Re: Important info about vBulletin
Will there be a logging of custom titles preswitch so that they can easily be restored by mods in an orderly fashion once over on VB?
