Conversion to vBulletin 3.5

*polonyc2* · 10-10-2005, 02:25 PM

that was a very quick upgrade to vBulletin 3.5...other forums I am registered with that made the switch took much longer and the admins stated that version 3.5 contained a lot of changes that required more time to get things back up to speed...

things do seem a lot more snappier...MAJOR change in the "Edit" reply box when you try to edit/delete your post...the color scheme in the reply boxes seemed to have changed and the attachments window as well...

nice upgrade!!

one little bug I just noticed...

the "Online Users" link does not seem to work...before I could click on that link and it would show me which users were online and what thread they were viewing....doesn't seem to work at the moment

Thanks for the kind words. I guess I've been running vB so long, that I know how to make it go smoothly.

Also, it didn't hurt that I actually did the entire upgrade process on my local copy of ABX and got all the hacks converted. That way, all I had to do was update the live data.

There are some glitches regarding the templates that will get ironed out over the next few days.

I'm not sure which link you're referring to. The Who's Online works at the bottom of forum home.

I've attached a pic...previously whenever I clicked on the "Online Users:" hyperlink it would open up another window showing me everyone who is currently online at the moment and what thread they are viewing...now when I click on that hyperlink it takes me to a "Page not Found" HTTP 404 error page

oh another thing. the WYSIWYG Message Editor Interface is kinda dead. none of the buttons work

CJ · 10-10-2005, 03:23 PM

Works here. What style are you using? Have you tried clearing your browsers cache? If it still has the old javascript in the cache, all kinds of problems are bound to occur.

epicbard · 10-10-2005, 03:26 PM

well this is what i see.

i will try clearing the cache, and report back

EDIT: ok that worked but it still looks whack like in the screenshot up there

EDIT2: i really dig the new edit feature

Log out, clear all ABX cookies, then log in again. That solved the problem for me. Could also be a style issue, the styles have to be upgraded to work with vB 3.5 and CJ may not have had the time to fix the one you're using yet.

Which style are you using?

You need to clear the cookies, then restart Firefox. I had the same problem until I did that.
