vBulletin Upgrade

[Merlin]

Well after much discussion and counting of ‘hanging chads’[img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img] it has been decided that we upgrade to vBulletin 3.0.1.

I am asking that Everyone update their profile with a valid email address. Just in case we cannot convert the passwords we will have to send you new ones for your first log in on the new software. You will of course be able to change them to more familiar ones once you log in.

Also save any pictures you have in your “Ride” that you want to keep.

We will let you know when we are done with testing the migration and when the site will be down so we can migrate current information and not have the same challenge we had the last time when we lost some posts.[img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, if you do not have a copy that you can upload to the new site after we are done. Too long to go into why that has to be.[img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]

Everyone, please refer to this post in the Announcements forum:

Pending Upgrade to vBulletin

I will try to keep ya'll updated with progress reports posted there. As of right now, the only thing that's happened is that we've make the final decision to move forward with vBulletin. We don't have any time estimates yet. At this point, all we can tell you is that:
1) We most likely won't be able to migrate the Rides section, so make sure you have copies of anything you want to keep. (Grab a copy of any signature banner you may have, while you're at it....)
2) We might not be able to migrate passwords, so you'll need a valid email address to have the new system send you a new password. (Don't panic.. we don't know what your password is, it's encrypted.. which is why we may have trouble migrating them over.)

But all the threads will remain intact? or will they get dumped into a generic archive section?

The upgrade should be great!
I only hope that MY350Z.com isn't indicative of the speed we can expect from vBulletin. I suspect that their speed is more related to traffic & servers.

Hey do you think we will be able to have a little longer signatures. My current signature is at its max, would like to have more lines as I mod. Thanks

The speed is related to how much is loaded each time a Thread or part of a site is selected.

Signatures do not have to have your Mods on vBulletin, since there is a Frame on the left of each of your posts that can accomodate that option.

when is this gonna take place???

i hate the layout of the forum now. I'm soo use to my350z style since all other forums that i'm part of are the same way.

so lets make it happen soon i hoope

2003 G35C -soon to be moded-
2001 BB6 -moded-

TRACK TIME ... THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!

[Msedanman]

Not sure why it didn't happen last weekend, but apparantly it'll require a whole weekend to accomplish. So my guess it's on for the forthcoming weekend.
As soon as we hear anything, I'll post.
