VOTE: Upgrade from vBulletin 2.x to 3.x? Continued from the annoucement; this is where I would like all to vote, yes or no and to reply with an opinion respectively. Thanks again, Alex
In essence, the coding now is much smoother, runs smoother, loads quicker, bettering indexing, less faults and can do much more all around both admin and user sides.
makes no difference to me which version it is, but if ya need a donation i'll pitch in whatever i can
How about this, for everyone who donates, I will give you the ability to have a custom user title. For those who do not know who that is, that is the text under my name which says "Admin". I will grant ou the ability to write whatever you like... Granted, its just an idea, it is a possible incentive. More to come later.
OOOHHHH!!!! J/K, Alex! You keeping the board running for free is good enough for me. If ya want to give me the ability to customize my title, cool by me, but I already have enough incentive to participate
Well, granted incentive isnt the best choice of words, what I meant more or less would be contributing members get that little extra something... Customer User Title Avatar etc
Perhaps, or more like a thank you to the original members and such. Without you guys we wouldnt be anywhere :bowdown: Oh, and I suppose original guys could have their handles changed to whatever they'd like (ie first name, new name, w/e).
Have you ever thought of simply getting some Forum Sponsors. I know every 'other' forum generally has Sponsors and I would imagine that intent is designed to raise some funds. I think it would be great for us because we could provide links to Georgia WRX shops & retailers. Madahvi, Knowledge, etc. Just an option that could help our site expand for the good!
I will kick in, are you going to the Auto X/Drift thing Saturday, I will throw you a couple bills there.
What would YOU like to see in version 3? Alright so now is the chance for you all to give us feedback and tell us what you'd like to see in version 3. I have a lot of new things planned, and I would like to keep a handful of them surprises for everyone (shh). At any rate, this is the chance for each of you to write something you'd like to see, or talk about what you do not enjoy now, what you would like to see more of, etc. I would appreciate everyone's input as this thread will help a lot in pushing version 3 in the direction that is more user oriented and better suited for our growing community. Thanks again! /Alex
More members ideally. I like how the site is right now. It gets the job done. Maybe some sort of members gallery where we each can have a pic or two of our cars.
alex and i have some ideas for the members gallery... but i think we're gonna try to keep it as a surprise feel free to throw suggestions though... they will definitely be considered
Alex, Def a members gallery, the car and the persons. Maybe do something for the top posts. Liven it up a little bit with some color maybe, then again thats just my choice.
You should give out clever user titles, but not with post count increase. Do it randomly, at your own discretion and don't let people edit their own. :bigthumb:
ie. make Porter's title be Hawt Lama Peanut Eater Agree with above regarding a member's car photo gallery where mods can be easily listed. Up the avatar image size to like 100x100.
I agree with Scott on the Event Calendar. With Version 3 do we get the quick post option like on Nasioc?
How about an accurate block. I realize that your working on Alex blocks, but man, I can't figure it out... Oh and I have limited skillz with the web, but i'll be happy to help with mulitmedia content...
Time looks fine here.. did you set your user profile to Eastern Standard? It defaults to GMT (currently 5 hours ahead).
yeah dude... time looks fine.... but the blocks are way off... (what are these blocks we're talking bout now?)
I do not really understand why the blocks on the threads change size the way they do. I honestly think it is a bug with their code. Version 3 will be a major improvement over everything, dont you worry
Alex, Not sure if you got it, but I am an idiot and couldn't figure out to go into my profile and set the CLOCK correctly. If you got that then cool, if you took me seriously and there has been a problem with the forum resizing itself, well, then, much like the clock setting, I hadn;t noticed it. I am on FireFox, latest version...
Review section in V3? If possible, I think we should have a parts review section in V3. If you can get everyone to participate it would be a good thing... I know I used the review sections on NASIOC, I-CLUB, and Scoobymods(or is it scoobytuner?). It would be especially helpfull for new WRX owners and could potentialy keep someone from making a bad mod choice and wasting $$$ on something they'll need to replace...ie..for me, buying rims that are the wrong offset for the WRX...$1200....ooooops! If this has allready been suggested....disregard....
I thought we had a theard about this already but. I just wanted some feedback from y'all to see what kind of changes you guys wanted from V 2.0 - V 3.0? Discuss-
Hey! I know this thread might be merged somewhere else. Could we donate this weekend when we are at the G2G? I could give the money to Milo....
donations are always appreciated and will go towards the upkeeping of the site and having free decals available... which so far alex and i have been doing out of pocket... hence the need for vendors
Sure, I will be out of town, but I will be back next week and will pick up any msgs, donations, whatever from the weekend.
