Ipb Upgrade - Need Help?


Fatalysm

Recommended Posts

Okay I thought rather than the upgrade process getting messy quickly. I'll create a list. If you find something wrong or something that needs to be changed post it here. I'll keep updating the main post so that Sal can keep up to date. Also, if it's a problem that I can fix I'll try and help you out as best I can.

 

It's quite likely that if you are having an issue, it's either in this list somewhere or please post it!

 

Priority list:

  • Warn style is different to <8- (0) +8>
  • Cxksei's private blog shows up in my 'manage my blogs' area and cannot be removed.

Other issues/suggestions:

  • Runewise is gone from the top navigation.
  • Cannot hide widgets on the profile such as profile views.
  • Old quotes/spoilers don't work (new ones do).
  • When you go into a full list of online users you get all the guests.
  • Cannot see what people are doing via there profile anymore..(viewer is reading topic x)..creepy.
  • No flood control on adding/removing friends.

Skin & display issues/suggestions:

  • No skin changes available.

Blog issues/suggestions:

  • Blog Change theme has no themes to be chosen from.​​


 

I'm afraid there's no more way to archive PMs. I liked the ability to have my PMs packaged in an HTML file and emailed to me (and consequently deleted from my inbox), as there is an inbox limit for normal users. I'd prefer not to delete old messages, as I often have to search through my saved archives when looking up specific things people have told me (e.g. if they have a graphical request, how I should go about doing it). Rather than having to manually check each PM to make sure its OK to delete, I think it would really be good if that feature could be reinstated.

 

FIXED PROBLEMS!

Blog Private Club has been changed to default (everyone can view-public).

You now need to make a new blog and make it private. If you wanna do that, a tutorial is here.

 

Were any of the important tutorials kept?

They were kept, but aren't being used anymore.

The "like this" is not working correctly. It displays

An error occurred

Quotes aren't displaying as they should, just like spoilers, as it wasn't the BB code but the text you see was copied. Also I can't find any way to change skins.

 

I think everything quoted before the forums upgrade is not showing properly but newer quotes do work.

Yeah, i believe it's just a setting that has been missed in the ACP. It's where you had the title of the forum (which you'll notice is Sal's Runescape Forum). I believe that's slightly different from normal.

 

It's in the list now anyway :(.

I personally can't work out how to Publish a blog, I can only make Drafts. Might just be me being stupid though sad.png. If anyone knows how can you message me tongue.png.

You aren't the only one :(! I've tried every method I could but every entry automatically becomes a draft. I believe a setting is on in the ACP where admins have to approve every entry at the moment.

 

:D

No, we haven't got the publish button. Doddsy and I compared screens, as he does have one. I put screenshots in the main thread on this.

I've played around with the Blog and Avatar settings a bit, tell me if anything has changed because I'm not sure what I did. tongue.png

 

Hang tight, this is new for us too. Thanks for making the thread and continue posting!

Hi Don!

 

I've just tried making an entry but nothing seems to have changed. From the sounds of it however, DM's can.

 

If you need any help with ACP, I can try and talk you through some things via PM or something.

Try again now, also see if you can publish other people's entries.

 

Also avatars have been completely removed, they've been replaced with "photo" so anyone who had a personal profile photo before the changeover has an avatar now.

Avatars are under general account settings. The save changes button on that page still doesn't lead anywhere but you don't need to press it to update your avatar. You can also use Gravatars if you have one but the only place I can think that also uses them is the BF3 Battlelog.

What's happening with the Like button? Is that getting phased out or is it going to be a thing?

(Also this is quite cool, if someone replies to the thread it pops up that someone's posted and you can load up the comment before you're finished typing, this is on quick reply anyway).
