You lucky people

[Bluebell]

There is a new version of vBulletin forum software out and I am going to test on here first just to make sure it all works before I add on to Mumszone, particularly if something should go wrong its easier to revert this forum back.

Don't panic, I will back up the site first and in all my time of upgrading vBulletin it has never gone wrong but I wanted everyone to know just in case there is a little down time!

[suzi]

sounds very exciting!

[Bluebell]

Not sure of all the changes yet. There is supposed to be more social features!

[Bluebell]

OK thats done. Please let me know if there are any problems

[suzi]

social features? er.....

[rainydays]

Oooooh, intriguing! Thank you! :D

[Bluebell]

Yes and also the mod/admin features have changed slightly Suzi!

[seaspirit]

Ooooooooooo loving the pics/albums bit now just need to work out how to use it lol.

Thanks BB x

[suzi]

ok im confused, what are the "tags" for? the bookmarks i get...

[Bluebell]

You can add tags in at the bottom for the search engines to pick up on. Well admin can, I don't know if regular members can.

Just to add, Im not sure yet that the album will be available to all, just looking at permissions now

[Emmie]

*cough* wow, you're good BB, it appeared *looks sheepish* I swear it wasn't there a minute ago!

[Emmie]

Yup, going for most consecutive posts in one thread:

Anyway, I've discovered when I click on 'quick links' it just changes into 'mark forums as read'!

[Bluebell]

I didn't remove quick reply...lol

Just sorting the quick links now.

Keep getting prompted to add a MIME plug-in, or some such thing, on this site....should I say yes? :huh:

Also, could we plllllllllllllease be allowed more than 4 smileys per post? I LOVE smileys! :D

[Bluebell]

I'm not sure what that is, not something I am getting.

Ok, I've asked Himself, he says most likely thing is it's inocuous, and you're grand to say yes, but if you want to be sure if you copy down what it says and let me know I'll pass it on to him and he can diagnose what it's going on about! (He's explained to me what a mime plug in but it's so dull I don't want to inflict that on you!)

Hope that helps, I haven't had it either!

[Bluebell]

I haven't had chance to have a look around much yet.

I know the bookmarks are new and a few social features in the usercp, anything else you have noticed?

[Emmie]

I found a new thing and it frightened the life out of me! Well I think it's new, it's new to me anyway! On proper reply when someone had posted before me the computer actually shouted 'Danger Will Robinson' to me as well and putting it on my screen! is this normal!

Oh and I noticed if you click on attached pictures (rather than embedded) it comes up in a groovy light box :-)

OK, just got it again - but only getting it on this site - prompt looks like this:

[Emmie]

Er, hmmm, that makes absolutely no sense at all! Himself will be home soon I'll point him at this make him explain it (theoretically!) and then I shall translate!

[Emmie]

Right Himself read your thingy Vicky and went ahhhhhh then said just tick do not prompt in future and click no and it'll be fine. He reckons it's prolly just a picture or something (he was a bit vague!)
