Nice new vBulletin, Azrael. Where did you get the money to buy a license for it?

Hey, will we ever get avatars back? Maybe I'm just a newbish young lad, but I can't seem to change it from "Do not use an avatar"

Do you plan on retaining support for user-defined Custom Titles?

What about different skins?

It hurts my eyes to look at a bright screen at night. :(

There was a cool skin last time that was dark with white text.

It's a shame all of the old posts are gone. I was going to show my family my magnificent Penpal application.

Do you plan on removing [img] support?

No, it's not. Before the wipe, Azrael locked the Penpal topic and said he would select from whoever posted before the lock.

I did my best to make my intentions known. Did you?

Yay, VBulletin. I'm so used to VBulletin forums, so this is a good switch for me.

Also, are we missing a board? lol. The Off-topic discussion, I forget the exact name, that used to be the first board...

Kind of....but in the Editorials forum XD

Then I go into the Japanese Teacher forum and see a 3 page topic already there, with some guy who nearly posted a CV. I only did 2 paragraphs =p

Looks like Az hasn't had time to play around with board settings yet lol. As has been said before, avatars are disabled, along with ima- :looks up: Oh, there're images now.

Hi Guys, long time reader, first time poster. Just wanted to say hey to everyone on the new boards, very spiffy if I must say so myself. I've been reading things on outpostnine since I think may/june of 05, decided to start an account, so I could discuss thigns with everyone. Truly great pieces of literature Az, I'm glad my friend shoed me the site. ^^*)b again, nice to meet you all.

Yeah, I had been visiting the site for the past two weeks and was about to sign up a couple of days ago but didn't.

Edit - Appears the General Forum is now up.

The new board is quite nice. Too bad we lost all the stuff from the previous forum, but I guess that's the price of progress.

I wouldn't mind having this moved to General Discussion.

Yeah, now that it's up this should probably be moved there.

Sorry all, I'm very sleepy (4AM) and can't tinker with the board anymore. You'll just have to let it be as is until I wake up and can work on it some more.

It will. I had to make the adjustment to VBulletin at a forum I moderate at. Once I got used to it, I liked it better than the original.

Am I the only one who prefers the old PhP BB over this new vBulletin? The latter just seems unnecessarily complicated.

I miss the old one...

I actually perfer the old one I hate the format of this one. Oh well not my call. :)

There are a lot more features on this one. It will take some getting used to for a lot of people. Another board I frequent uses this exact same setup and most over there, including the administrator, like it a lot.

Yeah I liked the old board better... Oh well it'll have to grow on me. Once more people re-register it'll seem more like the old forum.

No, it's not. Before the wipe, Azrael locked the Penpal topic and said he would select from whoever posted before the lock.

I did my best to make my intentions known. Did you?But if Az didnt geta chance to consider everyone before the wipe he might have to re-ask. Plus say someone like me (who changed their screen name) wins? How will he inform them?

I was "imabletouse Vocabulary," but I felt that stupid underscore messed up the true meaning of the name.

So, after rockin' on to Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Jump On It!" and hours on end figuring out what is a good and proper Forum Name, I shall be now be referred to "Vocab, Jump On It!"

I too feel pity for all of Jay-Man's works going down the drain. :D

I am jelous of you. You were the first one to post.

At least I was the first 3 digit person on the board.

I really like this new forum. It needs avatars enabled, it needs sigs enabled, and perhaps different skins to choose from, but so far it's amazing.


..10 posts a page. That's just sick...

Can you up the post count any per page Az?

You can change it somewhere in your profile.

Hey Vocab. Would you do me the favor of E-mailing me that Dancing Vegita? I have the dancing bear one, but Vegita is quite simply the pimp of all pimps and I would like to add it to the collection. Thanks.

I didn't feel this was important enough to create a whole new thread for, so I'll just post it here.

I have a little problem with my new account, when I registered I accidentally wrote my name all in lower cases. Is there anyway to fix this, without me creating a new account, that is?
