Dustin: god dammit
Dustin: i cant log in right
Dustin: so i tried to reset password
Dustin: but it sent the email to a really old account
Dustin: and the site i used to sign up with 3 years stopped doing emails months ago
Dustin: so i cant reset it either
Dustin: so i have no way of logging in
And so here I am. On the subject of this forum, as Dwells said, oh **** this. Seriously, this **** is horrible. Since no language filter is set up either let me just say **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****ing vbulletin. I want my account back, sigh. GB, save us.

Can we have an alternate forum style/skin that only the regs can access that mirrors the original style/skin as much as possible including the banner? I know phpBB and Invision allow different banners per skin. This way the new admin can have the non-regulars seeing the banner he wants them to see and we can all use our old-fashioned ones we love?
Or at least have Duke design the new banner?
DWells
03-05-2007, 05:50 PM

I signed out and scrolled to the bottom of the forum and saw "Restricted Area." No subforums of it though. Also, the forum index clearly listed it in bold.
The banner is nice, but it isn't lined up right - it was designed to be completely flush on the left half of the screen. The way it is now I have a horizontal scroll bar at all times @ 1280x1024.
EDIT:
I miss the 5 most recent posts feature on the bottom of the page that we had while running SMF. Is there a similar mod or function like that for vBulletin? Also, is there a mod that can show the user's character and word count instead of just their posts?

I leave myself logged in but go do other things or formulate posts that take time to get together and the limit that I can be logged in kicks into gear and I have to log back in before I can do anything.

I've got one request, can we make it so when you hit 'quote' it brings the quote into the quick reply instead of the main post editing window? Edit is acting oddly too. sometimes it brings the edit page up here in the thread, sometimes it brings it up in the main post editing window instead. I'm not certain, but that might only happen when i hit edit immediately after posting.

I just realized that we finally have RSS feeds here now, something that will be handy.
There's something I've always wanted, though, that VB doesn't natively offer -- a feed of New Subscribed Threads, and/or New Posts. The tricky bit is that the feeds would need to be user specific, but it should be possible to do this using password protected atom feeds.

Ya, you can view the RSS feed by going to http://www.videocardforum.com/external.php?type=rss2. But what you're asking for isn't available with vB in it's stock form, there may be an addon for that sort of thing.
Viddy O Car
03-08-2007, 07:34 PM
Yeah, and you can get a get a more specific feed using the forumids and lastpost parameters, eg http://videocardforum.com/external.php?type=rss&forumids=15&lastpost=0.
I was only able to find two mods that are related to what I had in mind, http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=108905 and http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=135743. I'm not sure how helpful either of those can be, though, as the first one isn't finished, and the second works with a desktop application instead of just generating a feed.
admin
03-08-2007, 09:10 PM
Yeah, I saw those two over there. Neither of them are usefull, the first one is for an earlier version and isn't finished (like you said). The second one might be able to be modified to do what you're looking for, but would probably be a lot of work.
Why don't you write one? ;-)
Viddy O Car
03-08-2007, 10:25 PM
I'll get right on that :thumbsup:
Another possible solution is to have instant email notifications (for thread subscriptions) sent to an email-to-rss service, or to an email account with a provider that has a good RSS feature.
GMail has a decent atom feed, but it only shows a snippet of each e-mail, so in order to view new subscribed threads I would still need to load gmail, thus defeating the purpose. AFAIK other mainstream e-mail providers either don't have a feed, or do the same.

The day you only use only free software instead of the potentially better commercial alternatives is the day I kill my pet froggy :P
Yeah, I see what you mean. It's easier to cheer for phpBB, and I like their principles. That being said, in practice I prefer using vB.

go into your cp, it's in your account settings somewhere saying to subscribe to every thread you post in and send update e-mails.

..& to stop getting emails from the current threads you're subscrubed to you will see a list of the threads you are subscribed to when you first enter your User CP & you can manage them from there. :)

Viddy O Car
04-16-2007, 03:38 PM
BTW, GB, if you have Javascript blocked (as a significant amount of people do nowadays) you get no header at all.
How about loading the biggest header @ 100% width for people without it?
DVD-Man
04-16-2007, 08:15 PM
That's a good idea viddy; but last I checked people that didn't have JavaScript enabled was like 3%.... & the most popular res by far is 1024 x 768 so it would make more sense to make that the default header for people with no JavaScript. :)
Viddy O Car
04-16-2007, 09:01 PM
I don't know... NoScript is the 3rd most popular ff extension, and even 3% ought to be worth the few minutes it'd take to write a snippet of code and add it.
And using the 1280x1024 would also have the people on 1024x768 covered if you use width=100% to resize it like i said :?

O btw, I finally figured out how to edit thread titles :) When you're in the forum, and not in a thread, double click the box that the thread title shows up in, it'll give you the editor.
