Site News: Trials-Forum Upgrade


Recommended Posts

Its finally here, with weeks of preparation and working all day today, Danny and myself have upgraded to forum IPB3.0.

Take a look around, theres some nifty new features dotted about.

Videos

The video system has been upgraded to use a different system, its not finished but the 'base' is there - we still need to do a lot of work on the templates.

Uploads are temporarily disabled until the next version of the forums.

Feedback

The feedback has been imported from the old forum but at the moment there is no way to view it. Don't worry, its not gone forever. We're waiting on some upgrades from Invision before restoring it to its former glory.

Wiki

The wiki articles will be imported at a later date into a new system.

You'll notice that some posts with quotes in them are not properly formatted. We need to run a converter to update all of these posts, but it will take a couple of days to run through every post.

So take a look around, let us know what you think :)

I'm not happy! The "Random Video" thing in vids section was amazing, took up hours of my time. And it's goooooooooooone! REst of it looks really nice though, can see myself getting used to it nicely! :)

I didn't think people used it :P But just for you, it'll be back when I get round to sorting out the video section. That was just a quick job to get something up and running, it'll improve over time :)

I'm not keen on the centered alignment of all the details left of people posts, that's a little weird. Also interesting that the pips seems to have been made less noticeable which is probably for the best.

I really like the 'watched topics' box, I can't remember whether or not we had anything like that on the old forum. But the big problem I have with this one is you can watch a 'forum' which is pointless on this forum as it's sooo active. That either needs to be removed so it's just a box for watching topics, or at least the topics tab needs to be selected by default rather that the forum tab.

Also, the site is very slow for me.

The advertising bar keeps popping up over the search bar which is really annoying. Also, has the standard text size decreased? I'm having a bit more trouble to read it. Or am i just a bit tired?

Otherwise its ok, suppose I'll have to get used to it...
