SERVER: It's that time again... another look at upgrades
Ok so there is a new version of our forum software out and MAYBE this time it is worth upgrading to. I am going to do another fake install for us to play with and look at as soon as I can. I'm also looking at some minor hardware upgrades but honestly we seem to be doing pretty good on that front for a change.

The biggest change in the new VB software seems to be that they fixed the add on system (or so they claim) and they have a nifty new VB Messenger(like a poor man's FB Messenger)

I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out and link up the test area soon.

If anyone want to donate to the cause, feel free.

DONATE!

I have a few more things to do before the season. Some of these may screw with the board for a few minutes at a time, maybe even 30 or so. Any suggestions for the best time to do this? I'm thinking Thursday night late after the Broncos get beat and we have had our fun basking in it.

Is there a better time (besides tonight, I won't have time tonight)

I'd let this go for 4-5 replies, then you pick a time that best suits YOU. Just drop a note in this thread, and perhaps the downtime site too, then do your thing my man...

BTW, anytime is fine with me...

This ain't "work" so there ain't no need for any stupid after-hours (late-night) bullshit.

And I don't think we say this enough to you, or anybody with a hand in keeping this site going, but THANK YOU... You folks are awesome...

Not really. First, it didn't cost each of us $800. Next, it doesn't happen EVERY YEAR! Next, the code still works after six months (so not Apple).

Moving to Xenforo would be a pretty big "culture shock" for people since there are so many features people are used to that would be missing. But then again, vB5 is quite a bit different too.

At some point, we'll just have to rip on the bandaid and get it over. It's hard when vB 3.8 still works perfectly fine (if a bit outdated) though.

I haven't contributed to the site monetarily yet, so my opinion doesn't matter, but we could use that new chat before Sunday. It's our one refuge from Clay.

Through a bit of jury-rigging, I was able to update our chat software to the latest version. Unfortunately, the main reason for updating it was so that we'd have a theoretical non-flash version of it for people on phones (and who just hate Flash).

The upgrade seems to work fine, but the AJAX version doesn't. So it's a minor upgrade that doesn't really add much over the old version.

Sigh.

Should work now. I had to reconfigure from scratch, so permissions weren't set.

I'm calling it quits for tonight, but I can fix any other issues tomorrow (or just revert to the old version if it comes down to it).

Works now. FYI to chatters. Current option settings are lost. Set background to black for best experience.

Thanks DaFace

There's a ChiefsPlanet style in there that should look like the old one.

You can also try clearing your Adobe Flash cache by right-clicking on the chat window, going to Settings, clicking on the folder icon, turning local storage off, closing everything, then turning it back on. That will set everything to the new defaults.

FYI the other forum I'm on is in the final stages of their conversion over. Looks pretty good to me!

https://xenforno.tivocommunity.com/c...tivo-forums.29

There doesn't seem to be much missing from the vBB version of the site.

Though I'm not the one making the decision, I think Xenforo is the way I'd go at this point. I'm pretty convinced vBulletin just isn't all that great anymore.

Even though it looks similar, though, there are a LOT of things that would have to change. Though I haven't looked at it extensively, even things like reputation, first post on every page, user ignore, thread ignore, etc. might not work. People would survive, but it'd take an adjustment.
