Moving TBT to more powerful forum software?

[Darren Gilmour]

I wasn't talking about IF, I was talking about IPB. IF is a really old version of IPB, ran by Zathyus isn't it not? IPB Is just awesome. I have never liked VB, in many ways. Just the look of the forums, they look... odd.

Well, we should reach our 1 million post count then move to that
Thats what i thought

They look odd because most people that use vB don't know how to customise the skins properly. You see, in the vB admin panel there is a section for editing the skin & in this section are more sections to change colours, text formatting, etc for the different parts of the forum. Most people simply change these base colours and be done with it, but if you know how to edit the vB skin properly, you could make it look exactly the same, if not better, than the skin we have on here now.

Awesome, when will the move take place?

I think itd be good, and anyways if the whole thing is an absolute fiasco we can just close down that forum and re-open this one...

The one thing I dont like about vB is the way the whole forum looks, one of the major things for me while I was new here at TBT was just how cool the skin was...

But IdK maybe its all been changed now or something.

VBulletin is 1000 times better than ZetaBoards, mostly the profile customization and the board customization. I say go for it.

(sorry for double post, but I felt the need to reply)

It's because the forum creators are really lazy, I've seen lots of VB sites that have amazing skins. You just have to put effort into it, people are lazy and just change the base color and don't add any funk to it at all.

So did anyone ever answer my question on whether or not we'll still be able to log on this TBT to look at PMs and things? I'm not digging through 21 pages to see if someone answered.

I'm not sure, he might close this site. There's no way yet to move a ZB created forum to a powerful server, but I'm not sure. Why would you look at PMs on this site anyways? VB has a PM system AND a profile message system (which I love <3 )

 

[fitzy]

I don't know about this....I'm kinda used to Zetaboards now.....Wait a minute, can you move the members?

Damn it Storm!
You shouldn't have made a big topic about it. xD

[NikoKing]

But yeah, your guys' post counts should be moved from what Storm says. The archive of threads, posts, and etc. will not be imported, I don't think there's anyway to do that.

Another positive thing about VB, they allow discussion about online gaming (hence Pokemon TBT Version) which means I could post about it on the VB site.

Memories I guess.

Um... Storm's been saying that post counts won't be moved.

Oh okay, well from what I read on an earlier page he was talking about importing them. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't.

You'll be able to.

Theyll probably just lock all the boards on here.

Storm said something about it a few pages back...

Well I'm glad your main criticism is how vB looks, because I hate how vB3 looks as well. But vB4 looks nice in my opinion.

Yeah, a lot of cheesy forums I know use vB3.
