Our happy home will be closing down tomorrow (Saturday, January 24th) from approximately 8am-12 noon for site maintenance.

The site will be getting a vBulletin upgrade and associated security patches.

We'll keep everybody updated with respect to the progress and any unplanned delays via our Facebook page.

Thanks for your patience, patronage, and participation!!:mafia

I'll be working on my CCV tomorrow. Have most of the stuff taken off today. So, looks like I'll survive those 4 hours. Good to know we've got some updates coming.

Thanks for your patience everyone. We're upgraded and back up and running.

As with any vBulletin upgrade, you may come across some style or functionality changes. If you find anything that's taking away from your experience here please let DW, Rando, or myself know so we can address it.

Thanks!

Same issues here.

Upgrading versions of vB is a pain because of the template compatibility issues. That's why we (nor Mark before us) were never interested in upgrading.

Unfortunately, security vulnerabilities took the option away from us and forced us to upgrade.

I'll be researching and making adjustments to the templates to try and resolve the issues.

She'll be a work in progress for a little bit.

Looks like, with the exception of this thread, the advanced issue is resolved for now.

Let me know how it looks in the other threads for you guys.

Have to say, the "What's New" tab is now much more difficult to use / quickly browse through for interesting threads than before.

I see some avatar formatting issues on the Activity Stream. Other than that I'm not seeing anything problematic so far. I'll see if I can get that figured out.

Is there a way to move "New Posts" to the left of each page. On at least one view, the "Activity Stream" is on the left. You could actually kill the A/S and I'd be fine with it.

I'll see if I can find a way to remove the activity stream tab. I suspect that it's unfortunately a permanent part of the upgrade.

Is there a setting to set new posts as "whats new" default?


I looked it up on vbulletin.com but I do not know if but it was for 4.2.


You can set it under Settings -> Navigation Manager. Just set whatever tab you want as the default. To change where a specific tab points, just change its URL. There is no need to bury it on the General Settings page.

What do you mean Derek? I see "edit". You mean on your own post?

Yea I cant edit my own posts in this thread. I'll check others on the forum.

Unfortunately, no. You can disable the What's New tab under the nav manager but you can't alter it or its function. Might be more functionality in vB5.

+1 Looks like more updates soon.

Any notice that the favicon (little icon on the browser tab and at the front of the URL) is now gone or is a vBulletin one?

I've come to the conclusion that this thread is just possessed. I'm thinking that it has something to do with me posting just before and after the upgrade.

I'm going to lock it down.

Feel free to start a new thread for any issues.
