Forum upgrade: vb 3.5

***Brian Turner*** · 03-10-2005, 02:57 PM

Upgraded to vBulletin 3.5

Tell me if it seems faster.

Hey, its all changed!

Where's the staff room? And the avatars?

But yeah, it does seem slightly faster

It does seem faster, but it could just be me getting slower.

The status bar shows 'done but with errors' a lot of the time. I'm using IE 6.

Finally corrected avatars issue by reverting templates.

Also installed an excellent mod_rewrite solution.

Can you access the Staff Room now, bumfluff?

**bumfluff** · 04-10-2005, 11:05 AM

No... the staff room isn't on my list of sections when I go to the forum

Sounds like I'll need to amend the usergroup permissions - I'll get that sorted out today.

Now editing forum template - already changing the header towards the newer site look, and will run a test with the site running on 3 columns very soon - just got to work out how to safely remove a big chunk of the way the forum is displayed.

EDIT: More changes to the forums - now there's a new category section for Platinax issues, such as News, Support, and Feedback.

Plus I've created a new Internet section, taking "Internet & Technology" from "Business", "Security" from "Web Development", and "Site Administration" from "Web Development" and renamed it "Webmaster".

Seems to make more sense to me.

You have a staff room......can you get free coffee? only chocking, loving the forum by the way. Keep us informed of any new changes.
