Some news on the upgrade

Merrick · 02-05-2010, 04:37 PM

Just to keep you all updated.....

I bought the new software from vBulletin thinking it would be very similar just updated.

I have seen the new boards and I'm not very happy with them. They have changed the admin side of things so much someone like myself would find it impossible to make skins etc to make the board individual.

I'm just letting everyone know that I will be keeping the board as it is for now as I don't even like the look of the new stuff.

Having looked around APnet, HLBB and some others I go to, haven't changed.

Sorry to disappoint everyone but until I'm happy with the looks and the workings of a new one I don't want to change.

That's fine with me merrick. I don't like change anyway LOL Happy to stick with the familiar. Thanks for your time and trouble looking into it.

pukkie · 02-05-2010, 06:10 PM

It is fine for me too Merrick
Notting has to change for me
Are happy that i can deal well with these

New does not always better

Thanks for the great job you are doing for us

Merrick · 02-05-2010, 06:30 PM

Thanks

You're right, change isn't always for the best. This feels like home to me and the new software certainly doesn't......yet anyway.

I've found out how to make the skins but it would take some time to do them and they wouldn't look the same as the ones we have now.

Don't like change

LOL! No, I've enough stuff going on at the moment. I don't have time to figure out a new softwares quirks.

I like this bb as it is: the decor is terrific! As long as we aren't getting hacked, why would we want to change?

brilliant!MacLeod · 02-06-2010, 11:49 AM

The same for me ,Merrick!
I love the board the way it is!
Thank you for all the wonderful things you do!!

Merrick · 02-06-2010, 10:54 PM

Well it's nice to know none of us like change lol. I was just hoping it would fix some of our glitches.

I'm glad you all like it

Coolwater · 02-07-2010, 03:24 AM

Oh, the glitches; I forgot about those. We're used to them, I guess. Perhaps a note to newcomers might be that when one posts, one has to wait for the error message and then ignore it!

Merrick · 02-07-2010, 10:38 AM

Lol....I love that, Cool. They seem to work it out.

Coolwater · 02-07-2010, 05:26 PM

They should! We tell them how!
