We know that it will take some time for you to get used to how this one looks, feels and operates but we are confident that it was the best move for the site.

Currently we have "lost" the last 7 days of posts due to the length of time it took to do the actual import conversion and setup of the new software.

If you need to access the old board you can do so here http://www.gixxer.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?Cat=0

Feel free to let us know what works and doesn't work for you

Any chance of getting the last 7 days back?

Mr Gixxer
04-01-2006, 03:34 PM
Nope!

it is impossible

it takes 2 days to convert just the data, then you have to run a cleaner script to convert image tags, quotes etc

So if I started all over again we would still lose at least 2 to 3 days of posts

I currently run a vB too so I was curious what are your specific reasons moving away from ubb. Good call though!

I've been running vB on http://www.groundpilots.com for about a year now, and it's well worth the money spent.

Just upgraded to 3.5.4 and it's so nice installing mods now (better than the manual way on 3.0.7.

Good work Mr. Gixxer. I know the hard work involved in moving a forum over from an old style/database.

You'll love vB and so will your users!!!!!

Positive rep for you!!

I dont like how this new forum is set up. I liked how you can click on a thread to see all instead of having to go from page to page. Also to see if there are new posts i.e 10(4) meaning 4 new posts.

Change the Default to 40 posts per page will help with that meng...... as far as new posts.... there is a little arrow next to a new post that will take you to the first new post, so really the NUMBER is irrelevant, as you know there are new, and it will take you there :thumbup:

I guess I'll be the first to say that I hate the new format. But I'll get used to it and probably love it!

They're there, take a closer look.

Now for something I can't find...how can I change to standard vB theme...this blue ain't cuttin it.

Also, my original user name is listed in the motorcycle section of my profile, rather than the bikes I had listed.

I lost all my PM's...had some contacts in there.

When I try to click the link to view the old forums (I am looking for the thread on how to change the stock steering damper oil to 20 weight), I get automatically redirected to the new forums (even if I click stop before the redirect begins or if I click another link on the old forums before the redirect begins). What gives? Thanks,

Wow. I'm so glad you guys decided to switch to vBulletin.

The old format was one of the major reasons I stopped posting on here, that drove me nuts.

Props to the mods/site owners for switching - that was an excellent decision. :bigthumb:

Was unable to log in! So went through forgot password and still unable to login with new password given. Tried logging into old board...no problem!
username was st_hood and still is I guess since it sent password to that email.
Then I noticed user name in password change was not st_hood but now St. Hood and I was able to log in. I use st_hood on all boards past & present could you make it work? Thanks, Stephen

This is a nice site, I get a lot of info and entertainment from it. Is it possible to configure the 'Members List' to sort by 'occupation'? It would be interesting to see how many engineers, accountants, firefighters, etc, there are in the membership.

Ps I'm trying to buy my Red R but the PayPal site won't let me past the Security Check (tyoe in the characters you see in the box). I don't suppose you can help with this?

The forum seems to be forgetting me.:sad

I need to log on everytime I come back, even though I check the remember me box when I do log on? I haven't changed anthing on my PC so I'm guessing it's something here?

Well, i've asked nicely here, no response. I contacted GDC via the contact link, no response.
Does anyone want to help me, it's pissing me off having to log on everytime I come here or even just refresh a page!
