Whoa, freakish. Goodbye UBB hello funkyboards. I like this setup, but you're right Deja, they gotta fix the blasted clock! It's 3am here and according to the boards it's 10am. Seems to be running off Zulu time instead of Local (lima).



Siggy check....

Now that's weird. Couldn't see my sig until I pasted it and thumped the space bar. PS, make the message box wider if it's possible. I feel like I'm typing a classified add in the paper! :D

I did notice somewhere that the times are supposedly GMT.  If this is the case, the time now is 11.47....  :)


[edit]The clock seems to be about 13 minutes slow....[/edit]

And the poll option looks great too.  I can foresee some very interesting threads in the future.

vBulletin is better than UBB by a country mile, for a start it uses mySQL which is faster than UBB's flat file system. I have used this vBulletin board for my squad forums for a while. So many more features such as pop up private messages, buddy lists automatic polls and a calendar. Will we be able to attach small files to posts and use the calendar?

Faster too!   Wonder what other features it has.


I wonder what "attach file" does.. :)
(Never.  mind. attaches. doesn't display the .gif)


Lost my handle "O'Westy" as it used the actual logon I Dnow. No biggie there.

And we now have the option of going to a specific section of a very long, massive topic. They're now get broken up into 'pages' and by clicking on latest page one need not load up a 155 post topic completely now!  That's GOOD! :)

Depends if they have enbaled the file addition Westy, also what file size they configure in the admin panel. I had it set to mine for my squad to up small pictures for our squad archive. A mySQL database is much faster than the UBB flat file system I don't know why people persist with UBB apart from they feel 'trapped' because they've already paid for it so may as well use it. BTW the default buttons are nice but I have some nice looking XP style ones on my forum that I downloaded off a vBulletin graphics site, there is a set made with a black background (I have blue ones) which would fit very nicely with the colour scheme here.

btw, you have to set your preferences to tell the server what time zone you are in for the time to appear correctly.

Looks great, but was anybody else suffering withdrawal symptoms from lack of AH UBB? This is always the first place I come when I turn my computer on. I didn't know what to do without it :D
