Hello New Software

Andy R · Mar 29, 2012

As you can see we have now converted from Sparklit ActiveBoard to vBulletin. Many of you who are active on other internet forums will be familiar with this software as it powers most of the larger forums online. Please take some time to poke around, click some buttons and get used to the new software.

I am sure everyone will have lots of questions so please ask them here.

New Forum

Hi Andy

Pretty painless in switching, looks GREAT!
Thanks.

Janet H · Mar 29, 2012

There's still lots of tweaking to do but I agree it looks awesome.

CPseudonym · Mar 29, 2012

Looks great. Congrats.

RT Firefly · Mar 29, 2012

Greetings,
So, where have you hidden OTDE? Changes look fine and why am I not a Hall of Famer any more? Gurus are so passe...

Tom.B · Mar 29, 2012

Made it!!

bobofthenorth · Mar 29, 2012

Well done guys - quick and painless. It doesn't always go that way.

Janet H · Mar 29, 2012

OTDE is now available as a joinable (members only) forum.

Click on user cp (upper nav bar) and then look for 'group memberships" in the left side menu of your profile. You should see an option to join. be sure to click save when you're finished.

Giggitoni · Mar 29, 2012

Hello, New People! The site looks good so far. The graphics and our photos look way better.

RT Firefly · Mar 29, 2012

Greetings,
Thanks Janet H got the OTDE thing. Might mention Avatar (missing). Not a BIG thing but please address IF you have the time or can I do it myself. (you must be overloaded with "what about's" and "how come's"). Patience my dear, patience.....Oh, and how do I add My moniker (RTF) to end my posts?....All in time..."The ox is slow but the earth is patient".

RTF

Janet H · Mar 29, 2012

You will need to load a new avatar. if you get stuck and need an assist holler and I'll see what can be done.

You can find some directions to upload a new avatar here: http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s22/set-up-your-account-|-help-tips-etc-5739.html#post80677

Lookin Good Janet. I like it

Conrad · Mar 29, 2012

Looking very good! Will take a bit of getting used to the new format, but that doesn't mean that it's not better!
May not be able to load a new avatar though, as it apparently has to be less than 100k, and I have nothing that small.

Thanks Mike for your help - all is good now!!!

Bilgewater · Mar 30, 2012

Got in, changed password without too much trouble. Like the new look of the site, in a few weeks it will seem like its always been this way. Thanks for you work!

Egregious · Mar 30, 2012

Looks awesome

The way it looks and the way it works are usually two different things.

markpierce · Mar 30, 2012

Whew! Looks like I made it through the black hole, through the storm, to the other side, etcetera.

Giggitoni · Mar 30, 2012

Welcome, my son....we have been waiting for you!

dwhatty · Mar 30, 2012

Painless so far and looks good.

BaltimoreLurker · Mar 30, 2012

Helllooooo .......

Delia Rosa · Mar 30, 2012

After a few frustrating moments, and help from you guys, things seem to be working just fine.... and I'm happy that the forum is up and working!

Andy R · Mar 30, 2012

Delia Rosa, I am glad to see you got in okay and got your avatar loaded. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Tech Admin · Apr 4, 2012

We were able to get the old avatars back.. If you currently did not have an avatar, we uploaded the one you had on the old board (if you had one). Hopefully this worked ok.

Rebel · Apr 4, 2012

Seems to have worked for me too. No problems changing I dont think. I guess I will see when posting

Bilgewater · Apr 6, 2012

I like the new format - brighter colors and easier to read. Well Done!

healhustler · Apr 6, 2012

I've been sitting back here for a while, playing "let's see", and I have to agree that you all did an outstanding job on the new software. It's an attractive, greatly improved format.

Anode · Apr 6, 2012

Can the commercial ads be far behind?

Keith · Apr 6, 2012

My favorite part is the "Mark this forum read" choice. The old software did not have this capability.

Jim Spence · Apr 6, 2012

Looks good so far, I hope it's as quick and intuitive as the old software!

C lectric · Apr 6, 2012

I found my cat. So do I have two cats now, spare cat, since you retrieved the old cat?
Twits, er twin cats?

dougd1 · Apr 9, 2012

I've been knocking on the door for over a week. It seems when I was TF user #0000001 I was using an email address that was retired a long time ago. I couldn't even remember what it was!

Now I'm in and I can actually post. Great job Andy! (and staff). It really does look good!
