I like that better, tomorrow I'll change the banner to match.

Does it still say you don't have admin powers? I checked the config, and your ID# was on there. Maybe I forgot to upload it? I just did, so it should work for you now.

If I have time tomorrow night, maybe I'll see if I can make up some buttons. Or maybe we can find someone on the forum that is better at this stuff?

I'll look into the import thing too. I remember reading something about that.

Figure out Avatar sizes and permissions for thoose who get it - Avatars at most should be 80 pixels by 80 pixels. The one I am using right now is 71x61 and it is plenty big. No reason for ones bigger then 80x80. Platinum members only should have avatars (plus admin/mods). Or if a member is annoying us, we can always give him one.
This is done under the Usergroups. To the best of My knowledge I have this setup correctly and as follows:

Admins/Plats have a 320x320 pixel Profile picture size and an 80x80 avatar size. Admins have unlimited upload space, Plats are limited but the limit is quite large. I have also enabled/disabled specific stuff per the usergorups according to the norm of what we do.

Plat's have the ability to go invisible, Regulars do not.

Regulars do not get a Avatar but they do get a small 150x150 pixel profile Picture.

i dont know if any of you noticed, but the "New Thread" button on every forum has a slash through it...is that supposed to be there?

Sometimes the buttons don't completely load and it gets garbled or has a line through them. It's fine as long as you know what the button does. I think the buttons might need to be changed in order to fix that and they'd also need to be non-interlaced.

I looked into the import of Ezboard. Looks like you have to request Vboard to do it for you, they won't release the script to us. We only wanted to import the FAQ right? If so it might just be easier for us to repost it.

Here is what V board all wanted to import it, and I think if they do it. They import the entire board, not just one forum.

Hello

You have been referred to me as someone interested in importing posts from
an EzBoard to a vBulletin. If you do not wish for us to login to your server
then you will not be able to do the import as we cannot release the script.
Please note that you must be using a version of vBulletin that is greater or
equal to v3.x. You must also be running PHP
4.0.6 or greater in order to complete the import.

The following is what I need from you before I can start:

1. The url to your ezboard(s).

2. The url to your vBulletin.

3. Any .htaccess logins on the vBulletin admin directory that you may have
set up.

4. FTP access to the server and directory that your vBulletin files are
installed.

5. An admin login to your Ezboard so that your ownership of the ezboard can
be verified. Please disable the profile setting "View Only new Topics" for
the admin account

6. An admin login to your vBulletin forum.

7. You need to setup the vBulletin forums that are to receive each of your
Ezboard forums. Send a detailed list of which ezboard forum goes into which
vBulletin forum. Remember only posts are imported, users cannot be imported.

8. You need to disable all sticky threads

9. You must enable the following settings for each ezBoard forum, found
under "Security Settings":

"Show Number of Replies to Topics"
"Show Author of Last Post:

If you have the ability to, enable "Show Topic Views" but you may have to
pay for this option and it can be left off.

10. You need to change the ezSkin to ezBoard Classic for all forums.

Please also include your vBulletin customer number when you send the email.

Thanks,
Freddie Bingham

I think I fixed the buttons, I just reuploaded them and they seem to be working for me now.

Dang. We may aswell just cut and past them. I think if we cut out the EZ Board language tags (Only where it says ezboard code) and let all the Html redirects and [ddd] type codes it will work...

Most of the code seems to be similar

Im going to add to our "to do list" now

On the subscription option, I see it's set to 0.00.

Before we go live we should set that back to 10.00, I thought it was that way yesterday? Did we change it to 0.00?
