MDS vBulletin Forum to Replace Current SMF Forum - Feeler

[nestlequikie]

The only other forum I post on JUST swapped to VBulletin.

All our post counts went over as did our user names.  The smileys on there cusk but I imagine they are customizable.

The biggest hitch has been no one running Firefox or Chrome is able to access the forum with any regularity.

That's how I've seen it done on other forums and it just seems like a great idea - 4 or 5 people wouldn't be bogged down by a bajillion threads to oversee and you could even "partner up" mods - a SuperMod to handle bandings, etc. and one to handle spam and both could move and merge threads.

Interesting idea.  Do those mods have assigned shifts to work or what?

The other search works, too, if you don't try to search the whole board. Just check the boards you think what you're looking for might be in. It's not that tough.

That's true. You have to go to a specific thread, and the secondary search does work.

IE? That shit from Windows 98?

[trailerparktrash]

Fucking hate IE!

Hey guys I heard vBulletin works great. All we have to do is start paying for AOL again

[Tarren]

Mike, if you switch make sure it clears everyones post count. It might look like some of us have lives then.  :lol:

[blu]

I say go for it.
Since this forum is about to shit out, we need to do something to stay up and running.

I cant go without MDS for days!  I would then have to clean and cook and all that shit that I do not want to do!  My family would be too happy then and I simply can not tolerate that.  They seem to expect those things to be done on a daily basis if I start doing it on the regular.  I mean, they are getting things done themselves at this point since I have so much "work" to get done on the computer.  Without MDS, my "work" would be over!

Please save me.

[leapfreak]

I hate change but I've had loads of problems with the forum lately.  Pages taking forever to load or refusing to load.  If the change improves things then go for it

no no no!! We have to keep our post count. It's taken me over 4 years to get where I am now. I don't wanna start over!!  :lol:

[the color nine]

When or if this happens could you please give me a couple days notice so I can remember and plan what to do without MDS that day?

I don't care about my post count, vbulletin is something I've worked with before when I modded a couple forums, I really liked it. Go for it!

Me either. Wow! A high post count!  :|  :lol:

I haven't been anywhere that uses vbulletin, but it looks ok. I only get the occasional error when a page won't load.

The only time it was even cool was when  at the very very beginning it said cool stuff depending on your post count. Like SUPER HERO MEMBER lol
Actually can we have that back in the new format please?

[deeply shaded]

  I've worked hard for my post count. Think of all the important things I could have been doing instead of being here making a high post count. [size=5pt]Mike, please don't ban me and tell me to back away from the computer.[/size]

I use to be on a vBulletin forum, apart from it being a pain in the arse on chrome,it dropped posts less and runs smoother than this does sometimes.
