Forums Migrated

[kmoore134]

In case you've not noticed, we're in the process of migrating the forums to Vbulletin. Users will need to re-set their passwords in order to login and start posting again. If you run into any problems, please let us know at kris [ ] pcbsd ... org

Thanks!

Well done on the migration. Things seem to be working ok.

One thing that I have noticed is that links to other forum topics on the previouse system are now broken. It would be nice if some sort of 301 redirect could be setup.

Example:
http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=12828

I'm still trying to get use to the new forums. The old forum was actually a lot easier to moderate, then again that's probably because I was so use to it. :)

Anyway, if anyone sees someone violate the rules on this forum please be sure to report it.

Awesome, Galraedia, will do! I love getting the posts via email with the
option to reply from the client. Very slick :)

I've noticed a bug, if I click "mark forums read" I get this:

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was invalid.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.


and I noticed a second one.
after viewing a forum, I still get the icon that shows that there are unread messages in that forum??

[kmoore134]

Yea, this works much nicer now, only need to use a web browser to start a new thread. :)

Very nice look

Instant-subscription FTW!

I patched a bug that was being seen by certain combinations of browser/OS that would express itself by throwing an error when you selected "Mark all as read" from the forum tools.

you may want to look at it again.
firefox 3.6.2 / PCBSD8.0, still getting the error...

same in firefox 3.5.9 / Kubuntu 9.10....

I remember this CMS discussion board back in my anime/manga fever period I had back in the late teens. Oh men, those were the days. But isn't vBulletin a proprietary software that cost 200$~? May vBulletin have some authority over the PC-BSD forum? My only FUD is that they impede, whether by purpose or accident, something against the publication of the forum (but I really doubt that happening).

My question comes about from wondering why was vBulletin chosen as the forum's CMS from the multiple.

PS - I am still enjoying it.

[matto]

Hey! It was chosen because it's got a module that allows email
subscription to forums. That way, we can reply via email, which is much
more handy for some of us :)

Oh, okay. Thanks! ;)

I'll see if I can put that in phpBB.

EDIT:
Oops, there already is MOD for that....
Well, thanks anyways.

I'm finally getting the hang of the new forum... Anyone know the smilies for thumbs up on this forum?

I see that the devs are posting much more frequently. That's a very good thing.

Where is the old forums post?
Update: Never mind. I got it, what I was looking for.

Congratulation for the new forum. I always love vB.
:D
