Okay, dunno how it happened, but it appears on a number of threads, the Original Post has been duplicated.

I'll add more bugs as I find them.

Pinned topics are all unpinned

RedneckExpress · 03-09-2009, 12:55 PM

Lists are broke, or didn't migrate properly.

Andy, you might want to [ol] [ul] to the parser 4UMS translator class so that it recognizes the old lists in addition to the [list] command.

Hey on a suggestion that might help speed up things, you might want to temporarily put a hiatus on the edit lock out, so people can go and fix their own threads. This will allow users to help with the clean up. Set say a specific date range for folks to perform the work in, then reinstate the lockdown after the period has expired.

First, thanks for your diligence.

The software provides same functionality, but using different methods. You will also find that if you had items in a different color, bolded, itlaicized and lists they will all have the old bracketed commands in the thread. Kinda like trying to convert a MS-WORD document into a text document. Formatting will not be maintained. The new software operates more like a word processor where you click on a button to make something in a list, bold, italicized, etc.

Pinned items can be "repinned" by going into the thread and making them a sticky. It is suggested that ONLY the originator if a pinned thread go in and make them a STICKY.

Hope this answers your concerns. The moderators and administrators are combing the forums looking for discrepencies and differences and we are bringing them to light in our ADMIN forum. If y'all find things feel free to continue bringing them to our attention as we may miss it.

I'm not certain if this actually counts as "broke" or just "not done yet", but I've noticed there's no link to a chatroom, as of yet. I'm choking this one up to the "Not DOne Yet" list, but if the mods that be have decided to axe the chatroom, feel free to correct me.

Roam America · 03-09-2009, 01:09 PM

Nope, no decision to ax them. It is on our TO DO list.

RedneckExpress · 03-09-2009, 01:13 PM

You sure about that "Pinned" thing, cause I'm pretty certain your average user isn't currently able to sticky a topic, I do believe that's a privillege reserved for the mods

Love the list! Add the as you find them - we are a long way from being shipshape, but wanted to get the board back online asap (warts and all).

Yup - mod thing only. Double rations for mods today

Roam America · 03-09-2009, 01:17 PM

You are correct. As a moderator I get used to what I see on my screen that I sometimes forget that some of it is not seen by other members.

RedneckExpress · 03-09-2009, 01:20 PM

Now this isn't a bug, persay, but a suggestion for the skins. You really might want to consider relocating the two mini banner ads that show up on the top right of the forums to a single, slightly larger ad, similar to the one below the "Tags" bar, but located closer to the top, perhaps where the top google ads bar is and concentrate the google ads to running down the side of the page, thus thinning the ad-side bar a bit and allowing the forum threads themselves to take up more of the page, making them more pleasant to read.

Quite familiar with the Mod-Admin work, I am a root admin for another RV forum, http://www.truckcamperforums.com, and have worked with setup and configuration with IVPB on and off in a number of settings over the years.

Okay, on the main root of the forum, it shows the "Users Currently Active" twice. Once on the right hand bar, and then again at the bottom of the page.
