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.

[ QUOTE ] 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? [/ QUOTE ] Yep. [/ QUOTE ] 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.

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.
