Andi 2,147,483,647 Posted February 5, 2011 Hi all, and welcome to THE Corrado Forum 2.0 :) What's happened?!?! I hear you cry. Well, we've changed forum software from phpBB (a free forum bit of kit, nice, but a bit lacking in features now) to vBulletin - a very comprehensive forum / site software suite that will allow us to give users a much greater experience (but sadly, isn't free!). One of the cons of this process is that, I'm sorry to say, your Avatars have been lost (please don't cry) but also you had to reset your password. This is due to the software not being able to copy the encrypted passwords from phpBB to vB. It's done pretty much everything else though. There are a couple of 'faults' at the moment which Dom (dinkus) and I are working on: The banner - yeah, work in progress! Attachments from the old software aren't being shown inline of posts Smilies from the old software not correctly copied There's a couple of other quirks too - if you had a font size change in your post or signature - it's gone a bit crazy now! You'll have to change that manually. But, to the pros - this is where this software will help the CF community become great: Blogs! You can create your own Blog - perfect for Builds, How-Tos Reputation - don't recognise someone by their username, or are you new to the site yourself? With this, other members can vote up or down your reputation - making you a saint, or a sinner, of the forum Coming Soon: Front Page site. A news portal highlighting great threads, VW news, and anything and everything that will interest users Coming Soon: Facebook Connect - login using just your Facebook ID, and 'Like' posts, threads, pictures, plus have links posted on your FB wall to share to your friends outside of the CF community plus much much more in the background which makes this site so much better for the Moderators and Users. So, have a look around, have a play - and please feel free to post back any issues you may have in this thread. Thanks! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterfly 0 Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Sorry me again. Have all old threads been copied over? I can't find my members thread. Found it after seeing Corozins post about setting thread categories or what ever... Edited February 5, 2011 by Butterfly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
