vbulletin 4 forum upgrade TECHNICAL problems - post here

[Morton]

Nah it's okay. Clearly the VB4 programmers were using FF themselves, so IE is a secondary concern for them. lol fanboys. Don't stress, it'll come together with time I suppose

i noticed on my lappy, with 1024 res, the reply with quote wraps under the post

+1 to this in chrome (example: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m317/levymetal/rwq_wrap.png)

oh and thanks to whoever fixed the smiles. = much better

re: the wrapping, that is due to the seo/icon set. Cant fix it without removing those icons. Have asked Darren if we _NEED_ them, will let you know. Until then, run a higher res

 

[levymetal]

that's on my eeepc, can't make the res any higher . but yeah it's not the end of the world, i rarely use jc on the eeepc anyway

Ok, I see you have put the VB4 default style option but can you put the old one back on? Is there a way even though the versions been changed? I don't come back on as much now :cry:

as all the previous posts about forum skins have said, unless someone converts the whole old skin to vb4 spec, it cant work with vb4, and thus, cant be chosen.

and you wont do that because you hated it correct?

I'm 100% sure hakky and every other legend and anyone with good taste used the old one. Still having said that I'm getting used to the new one, it's still bright and ugly and stupid. But I'm able to use it now. It was veeeeeery slow at first for me because I can often have 10-20 forum tabs open so I had to get rid of firefox, pretty happy I did really because Chrome is really an impressive bit of gear.

I still hope that one day there will be an option for some better colours and get rid of those new post tabs

no, because it is alot of work to do and minux (i think) has already spent alot of time making this skin.

But if you want to make a vB4 version of the old skin please feel free

i think the design is good, i got used to it pretty quickly, but yeah the site can get pretty laggy. must be too must javascript/ajax. i think it would be better if when a user disabled the 'new posts' section, it was disabled with php instead of js so the browser doesn't even waste time loading it then hiding it once page load is complete. as it stands the whole page has to load, and when it's finished, javascript just comes in and hides the section, it's annoying to watch it do that every time.

but yeah, obviously easier said than done, i'm not expecting anyone to fix it. just an observation
