>>> We're moving to vBulletin 4! Finally!

[Petra]

We're finally getting ready to move to the new version of vBulletin! However, I've got some good news and some bad news for you.

The good news? vBulletin 4 is pretty slick looking AND there is mobile support! So using the board with your phone will become a whole lot easier!

We're also going to have a few new features to offer OCSMs so they can really rev up their interaction with you guys! They're going to be able to post on the blog that's connected with the board AND run their own groups!

Don't worry. We're probably going to offer groups to regular members that hit a certain milestone as well!

Now for the bad news. FreeOnes Raymond has been working pretty hard trying to get things set up so we can make the upgrade in the next month or two. However, we've come up against a pretty big hurdle.

Reputation and post count.

The new version of the board doesn't support all the customizations we've done over the past several years and due to how the new board works technically...it looks like we're going to be forced to reset both reputation and post count to 0.

We will be able to populate the new board with all the threads that we currently have, but no username will be attached to them. It'll revert back to "guest."

Raymond is working hard on this issue so hopefully he can find some way around it...but I just wanted to let you know what to expect so you can save your favorite rep comments and posts!

Thanks for your understanding!

[TheOrangeCat]

Doh .........you got me.

I was about to file an injunction preventing upgrading until after I got my fucking tee-shirt ....

 

[Vanilla Bear]

Hmm wonder how the guy with the most posts here is going to feel when he gets to know this! :crash:

Will the rep messages also disappear or only the points? Cause I have 0 already, but I don't want to lose the messages.

Oh and another question: Will we lose our MyFreeOnes points that we got for posting and rep?! :eek:

Anyway, I'm still excited to see how the new board will look like. I guess. :o

 

[Supafly]

Get them boobies ready .. I'm coming in!

(any motor-boating sounds you hear are mere purrrs of joy. Honestly)

 

[Ulysses31]

I'm sure you'll find a way around it by tomorrow

 

[luvtheladies]

Will I still have all my subscribed threads? That's all I care about.

 

[Ali_Din]

what about the MFO points??

 

[GregCentauro]

I'm worried about Marlo Manson. Will he be able to keep the three million people on his friends list?

 

[Son Of Onan]

WTF????? Lose rep points, post counts and record of every post ever made???

How is that not basically the same as kicking the whole membership off the board???? That sounds crazy!!!! Why even bother being a member??? Seems like FO does something like this every two years or so by resetting rep points but this seems pretty extreme. If the new software can't migrate the essential features of your board, then why in the hell are you going to be using it?????

If there's not a workaround for this and the new software is implemented anyway, it'll be a serious blow to this board. I hope enough people chime in to let the mods know what a horrible fucking idea this is.
