The upgrade to SMF 2.0 is now complete, and was a success!
There are lots of new things to be had with this version, so feel free to ask questions!
-
A new profile field has been added-WxSTAR version. As at TWCC, simply input which version of WxSTAR you have. This will show in your profile, just as it does at TWCC.
-
I noticed we have a warning system now?
-
Since the calendar at the bottom of the forum index says today's the Vernal Equinox, does that mean we can start the Front Porch now?
-
I love that new calender feature! :twothumbs:

...except it start tomorrow.
-
Me likes the new features :)
I see a new moderator CP panel and calendar
-
Just noticed that some of the custom IPB emoticons are back to the SMF defaults, like...
:shocked:, :rolleyes:, :P, and :(.
-
I don't get it...they look fine to me....
-
Yea some are IPB and some are SMF icons. Plus where is the warn syatem? I dont see it
-
None of them are SMF to me.
Its there Vic. Want me to prove it?
-
Yes can u show me?
-
Here are the SMF icons I'm seeing:
(see attachment)
I even cleared my cache twice. Try clearing your cache, Gary.
-
When I read at the SMF site it said this just a "beta".
-
And your point?
The smiley issue should be fixed now.
-
I was just mentioning that this is just a test.
Also, I'm seeing a variety of commands that are available whenever i view topics in the TWC Today News board.
Like "Lock topic, remove topic, merge topics, etc.".
Is it supposed to be there? :huh:
-
I think all that should be there. You are, after all, still a moderator.
As for this being a test..no it is not. It is a real, permanent version of the forum software. The Beta part just means it may still have imperfections.
-
Aah. Thanks for clearing it up. :twothumbs:
-
I must be blind...is there a place for the warning system? Cuz I'm not seeing it.
(200th post!)
-
What's this?
-
That's it. :twothumbs:
-
So "watched" is the warn system?
-
LOL, you warned one of your own moderators :lol:
I LOVE how you can enter just birthdates without the year..noone has to lie and say they're 99 years old (as on Matt's board):twothumbs:
-
Wow it didn't take you that long to warn me <_<
Why?
-

He proved it.
-
Aah. Now that makes A LOT of sense. Can you now unwarn me? I was just making sure :D
-
Matt pretty much hit the nail on the head Vic. You wanted a warning, so you got it.
Next time, just take my word for it when I tell you its there.
-
No I don't! I just wanted to see how it looked like! I did not want it permanent like now
-
How would you like it to be increased?
-
DON'T!!!!
I'm sorry!! I never took your posts with a grain of salt
-
Then quit bothering me. <_<
-
I didn't mean to bother you at all :no:
Sorry
-
Gary, is there going to be some sort of formal policy coming out regarding the warning system? How long a warn lasts, what constitutes a warn, etc?
Also, I take it that only administrators can issue a warning? I would think that because Victor is a "moderator" ( :no:) that he would be able to unwarn himself...
-

good question, i'm curious myself.

No i cannot unwarn/warn members. That is strictly an admin job.
EDIT: What is the buddy list used for? And can anyone else see my warn besides me, the moderators and admins?
-
Glad to see the upgrade went smoothly! B)

The only "mod" ones I get are Modify, Remove, and Split Topic. Do different mods get different privileges, or what? Also, can someone please explain to me how the new warning system works. I didn't even see it.

lfmusiclover,How Did You Upgrade This Forum?

Why is the rolleyes emoticon missing? :unsure:
-
I went through this already. I don't know. I am going to replace it.
Good grief I'm tired of repeating myself because people won't look over past posts. <_<

Huh? I just looked at all posts in this thread and I cannot find any post where you said that. :unsure:
-
Sounds like the new board is having problems already :D
-
In the very beginning of the thread the smiley issue was brought up. Although it doesn't appear to have been here, at LEAST 2 other people brought up the rolleyes emoticon somewhere on this forum.
-
No Gil, theres no problem.
-
Although it doesn't appear to have been here, at LEAST 2 other people brought up the rolleyes emoticon somewhere on this forum.
I probably missed those posts, I haven't had the chance to check out all the recent posts, I just got home an hour ago or so.

You should at least wait until you HAVE read recent posts. :whistling:
-
But why did you get rid of all the other emotions?
Oh and I like the new upgrade though :)
-
What do you mean? The only emoticons I got rid of were the crappy SMF ones, which we've never used. :no:
-
I think he means a few are missing like, :( :rolleyes:
just my 2 cents
-
But aren't I already aware of that? :whistling:
and who asked for your two cents? :thrilled:
-
I've fixed the three missing emoticons (the sad, the rolleyes, and the shocked emoticons), as well as cleaned up the clickable emoticons list (but as always, all of the emoticons are available on the pop-up menu). If there are anymore missing emoticons, please let me know! B)
-
Also, I take it that only administrators can issue a warning? I would think that because Victor is a "moderator" ( :no:) that he would be able to unwarn himself...
I'm still trying to figure out how that happened...
The warning system is a good idea, IMHO. Hopefully, it will be used often... :whistling:
-
What do you mean by "used often"?

You aren't the only one, bud :wacko:

You didn't fix anyhting. You just tossed the junky ones up there. If your going to do that, just wait until I take care of it.

No I didn't. Clear your cache. ;)
-
Cleared my cache, and guess what? All I still see is the junky SMF smilies.
-
I'm still seeing them as well. I cleared my cookies and refreshed the page.

That's weird. I'm seeing the normal ones just fine. :huh: Let me try something real quick...
-
I checked the smilies list and the only rolleyes and sad emots there are the old ones.
-
Still seeing these old ones after clearing cache:

edit: Gary beat me to it...
-
I cleared my cache and cannot see the rolleyes or sad emoticons as well.
EDIT: it works! :rolleyes ::(
-
I'm seeing the IPB ones now. :yes:
-
Try now. :yes:
-
Me too. Stephen, what did you do?
-
Yep, they're fixed now. :yes:
-
Me too. Stephen, what did you do?
I just uploaded the emoticons under a different name.
-
Let me a do a test:
:rolleyes: :( :o

No testing necessary. They were obviously working before you made that post. ;)
-
They didn't earlier. But I cleared my cache as said befire and it worked :)
-
Added a few more smilies:
:stop: :werd: :shoot: :repost: :pimp: :doublepost: :club:

Werd?

Why did I have a feeling you wouldn't know what that meant? :lol:

I'll be making good use of that emoticon :D

How? You don't even know what it means? :rolleyes:
-
It means weird. "Werd" is weird :wacko:
-
It means weird. "Werd" is weird :wacko:
Wrong. :whistling:
-
"Word"?
-
Nope.
Basically, saying "werd" means you agree with someone said.
-
Hmm, that's news to me. I've never used the word "werd" :lol:
-

I can't say I've ever used the word "werd," but I've heard it used before.

Added a few more new emoticons:
:whateva: :salute: :harhar: :plane:
-
yay! An airplane emoticon!
-
What does the "link to calendar" tab do? I dont want to click it to avoid a catadstrphe
-
:plane:
Must be Thunder Airlines again :D
-
Nope.

Yeah, but its still spelled word.

Why have there been a lot more search engine bots present here since the board upgrade?
-
Why have there been a lot more search engine bots present here since the board upgrade?
I think it's because now we can actually see that they are bots. Before, they were still here as much as they are now, but they were just listed as guests, so it was impossible to tell that it was a bot.
-
Yeah Gil is right. There are no more here now than at any previous time. The only difference is that 2.0 features the ability to show them in the Online Users box. If you recall, I used to complain about not being able to see the search engine bots, because you could with IPB.
This new version of SMF makes me a happy boy. :happy: :P :rofl2:
-
I've added two more fields to your profiles-TWC channel, and WxScan channel. Please fill them out at your leisure! :sunglasses:
-
Is there a way to only have the information display on the profile and not on the "mini profiles" next to the posts? IMO, the mini profiles look a bit cluttered with the custom profile fields on them.
-
Yes I can do that, but I'd rather not.
Have there been any complaints at TWCC about this? They do the same thing there, don't they?
-

There are no complaints there, and yes, they do the very same thing. :yes:
-

Then what's with the complaints here? :wacko:
-
Can we add a "cable provider" or "When did you first watch TWC" field too?
-
Can we add a "cable provider" or "When did you first watch TWC" field too?
Why, so it would be exactly like TWC Classics? It seems weird to copy everything on Matt's site.
-
Nope. The "When you first watched TWC" field was never implemented on TWCC
-
Yeah it was. They must've taken it away. But It used to be there.
-
Wow I never saw it. Maybe we can add a "favorite lf song" field?
-
We don't need more unnecessary fields.
-
It might not be unnecassery for some people
-
No. Having too many custom fields would get really annoying.
-
Yeah it was. They must've taken it away. But It used to be there.
Correct. There was also a "favorite OCM" field. They replaced them with the STAR related fields in early '06 (long before Thunder joined) to make it easier for the STAR team to find out people's STAR info.

I think there should be a section in our profile where users can comment. They have this in some SMF forums
-
They Have It In The SMF Support Forum

That shouldn't be added. That will only lead to trouble.
-
How? I don't see anyone abusing that so far. :unsure:
-
It's unnecessary.
-
It's unnecessary.
Gil, the term "unnecessary" does not seem to be registering. Let me try something different:
There's no darn point! It would add nothing of value to the forum.
-
Topic locked. I'm tired of the arguing. <_<
