I just did a major upgrade (skipped a lot of versions, had to re-write a lot).
Things may be missing, broken, or work differently. Some of them shouldn’t work differently. If you see something not working like it used to, let me know and I’ll fix it … or tell you why it works that way.
Known Issues:
Spell check is gone. It may come back. Then again … newer browsers / operating systems have spell check built in, so it may not come back.
the ‘new posts’ menu up top – the subscribed forums searches aren’t implemented yet.
The UFH and WFA images that show up by peoples avatar aren’t working yet.
The list of reputation you’ve given is missing – it will return.
If so, will the option to have it be fullscreen be added?
I remember there was a debate about this a year or two ago. It seems time has not changed anything, and I’m still resistant to change, because it looks quite weird to me.
Before I signed on, the thread display mode defaulted to Threaded Mode. I think outside visitors may not be familiar with that and won’t realize how to read the thread…one of the other modes would be better for default.
When I went to "New activity sense last visit, it showed stuff from last week, even though I was on last night. Also when I tried it when I first logged on this thread was on the list, but when I tried it a minute ago it wasn’t.
There were major updates to the way vBulletin keeps track of what posts you’ve seen or not.
Before – you had 15 minutes of inactivity and then it figured you read them all.
Now – you have to read them all (or mark them read) before they’ll fall off the ‘new posts’ lists. I think it is great because during the season, I can come on … read 2-3 posts … come back 3 hours later … and not miss 400 threads.
The first time you come to this new version, it may look weird. Once you view all posts or a day or two goes by, it should all start to look good again.
