    Also, when I go to the new domain if I click on home I get a root directory and if I click on forums I end up at Elmwood's board. Don't know that I should be able to get either.

    Can you check to see whether posting to a thread means you are automatically subscribed to the thread.

    Posting to a thread automatically subscribes the poster to the thread. The default needs to change to "Do Not Subscribe"

    I'm looking at this one, So far i can't find the default. {Jim}

    Hiding in User Registration Options which means that this is default for all imported users. No way to fix except SQL. I changed it for new users.

    I'm a little confused about chat...I thought we were moving it off the front page or to a separate domain? Don't we need to do that because of the filters?

    The Default settings for PMs are different as well.

    "Not automatically copied to sent mail", "No Notification of a new PM".

    CIAS, I am checking on your PMs for both.

    Changes are made, vB is a huge improvement over phpBB for those alone.

    It's set up so you have to click the quick reply button in order to use the box. I remember when the SDMB had the upgrade and QR went to the "click button to reply" people threw fits.
    DONE: Yes, Click Not Required Message Posting and Editing Options


    We might also want to consider changing the button types that we have in place from symbols to words. At least for the heavily used ones like Quote and Edit.
    This is probably a good idea[/B]

    I have set the buttons to be the default style, but we might want some nice little grren buttons at some point from CIAS

    When I try reporting a post I can enter a report, but don't get a notification of it or anything to indicate a post has been reported. There doesn't appear to be anything about reports in my CP either.

    Edit: I don't know how I did that earlier, then. Weird.

    I am now playing with the Help User Infractions & Post Reporting Options
    Post reports are Emails only, which is not good news.

    There might be a mod for this available. Please look around here for interesting mods and send me/post the link http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=235

    Every report should now autocreate a thread in the Mod Forum and multi-reports on the same post go to the same create thread. .

    Edit, and it doesn't show in the message text if a message has been edited. We probably want to change that too.

    Some more:

    We probably want to have Show Avatars/Images/Signatures set to off by default.
    DONE

    And when people sign up have part of the sign up notification tell them that this is the case and that they can turn them on in the user CP.
    See post #18 for change.


    We also want to have the PM setting set to save copies of sent PMs in your sent folder turned on by default. GB has it the other way and it sucks the first time you go to check something you sent and realize that you don't have a copy.
    Nothing built in to do this, needs an SQL script made. Can put in the intro letter though.

    I'd consider that a major problem, personally. I'm rarely checking my email as often as I'm checking new posts on the board. If there isn't something on here to indicate where posts have been reported I might miss something for hours.
    DONE

    And I agree that we probably want text saying when a post has been edited.
    There is a 2 minutes grace period on edits. That is all. There is also Edit review enabled.

    I consider it a major problem, as well. I'm usually pretty good about checking my email, but there are other times when I can't for whatever reason, even though I'm still looking at the board.
    DONE

    Also, being logged out for inactivity could get very annoying very fast (it happened to me too).

    DONE Fixed to 3600 seconds from 1200. Next time you reload the new cookie should take if you still have problems. Delete the cookie and sign back in, but signing out should delete the cookie for you.

    Not a bug, but a request. I really dig the heck out of Giraffe Boards' thread of the moment box. But I don't like the way they use it much (it's almost never updated). I think we could put one in and do better things with it then they do. Turn it into our own version of threadspotting and update it with a new top 2 or 3 threads every Friday.

    What does everyone think?

    I think this sounds like a great idea. A few each week shouldn't be too difficult to keep up on, either.

    I'm using everyone's posts as my checklist in this thread. I hope no one minds. Please keep posting issues. I will try to address them and CatInASuit can start on them now to and of course elmwood is likely to fix things.

    Cool I just tried Evo Mellophant Grey. Worked well.

    Keep an eye out for broken smiley codes. I fixed most last night, but there can be more. Simple fixes if listed here.

    Note: Need to throttle pic size allowed for at least chat.

    I explained that poorly.

    In the imported posts, there may be some codes used that worked on Domebo but are not set up here yet.

    Just noticed we are missing the old confused, but that is a minor fix and not needed for go live.

    Del (Strikethrough) and Spoiler Images broken. I'll fix those tonight.

    Elmwood, is it safe to keep Tic Tac Toe or should we bury it or just remove it. I would hate for something unimportant to screw up the filters.

    If you're going to take a chance with the filters, make it a big distraction like one of the various arcade mods. The advantage of those - like chat, you can select what usergroup sees them and what doesn't.

    I see the titles are different...some say "member" and some say "junior member." Can someone tell me the difference...I'm assuming it's a post count thing? And I hate to sound like a doper, but are we all losing our Charter Member status?

    Done, new titles loaded.

    Those member titles will need to be cleaned up. I think we'll allow custom titles and people to config their own when over a certain number of posts. That stuff can happen over the weekend or next week.

    "Show the Chatbox" is marked yes. Something else I need to do?

    ETA: I can SEE the chatbox, it's just not loading. Don't think I made that clear before.

    ETA (again): pep and I figured out that you have to actually type something into chat to get it to load, just refreshing the page doesn't do it. CIAS also said that you can hit the refresh chat button. Just checking that this is the way it's supposed to work.

    Question: The Domebo forums had a nice feature that checked if a thread had new replies if you wanted to submit your own reply. Do we have that here?

    I kind of liked how easy phpBB made it to do nested quotes. Can that be turned on here?

    Seconded.

    Also, testing avatar icon.
    I'm not sure. We have the New posts feature & the Control Panel link gives you recent posts to subscribed threads.

    The multiquote here works better:

    Click it next to each post even posts from other threads.

    That's not what she means. On Domebo, if you were typing out a response, and you hit "submit reply" and somebody replied to the thread after you began your response but before you attempted to post it, then you could see it. This cut down on simul-posts, and also gave you the chance to address the newest post before submitting. I really like that option, and I'd like to see it here, too, if possible.
