View Full Version : Shania Forums Updated to vB 3.6
Hey Shania Fans!
The ShaniaForums staff has updated the Shania Forums to the latest vBulletin release, version 3.6.0. If you have any problems, or would like to see new features (or old ones that used to be available in the old version and are now missing), please post in our comments and suggestions forum.
Thanks!
Doug and the Shania Forums Staff
As you can see from Doug's announcement, ShaniaForums are now using the newest version of vBulletin messageboard software.
There are some new small features like,
inside a thread when you have multiple pages, you can choose to go into a specific page by clicking on the little arrow after 'last'
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/Finn55/misc/pages.jpg
The fonts, sizes and colours are demonstrated when you are in full 'reply to post' -page
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y11/Finn55/misc/reply.jpg
You can increase and decrease your text area by clicking on those little black double arrows on the top right corner.. etc.
Quick reply is now loaded very quickly, as it uses a method called AJAX, which enables your reply to go in without loading the whole page. There is also Quick Edit.
‘Reason for Editing’ Available on Quick Edit
You may now include a reason for editing without having to click through to the full editor.
MultiQuote:
And of course we now have a very requested feature of multiquote.
You can choose posts you wish to reply to by choosing the little icon in each post and then press reply and you have all those posts inside quotes you can handily reply to without having to make multiple posts.
You can choose posts from different pages in a thread (or even from different threads, but that is not recommended due to confusion factor).
Quote Tags Link to Quoted Post
When quoting a post, the ID of the post is automatically included with the [quote] tag. When the quoted text is viewed in a thread, a small icon links back to the quoted post.
[attach] BB code that allows you to reference an attachment directly in a post. Usage: [ attach ]attachmentid[ /attach ]
Event Reminders feature: You select how long before an event from Calendar that you would like to be reminded and vBulletin will send you an email reminding you. Press 'Request reminder for this Event' and choose the time of the reminder e-mail.
Mark Forums Read with AJAX
If you wish to mark a forum read, you can simply click its status icon on the index page and the change will be processed without a reload. You can even mark individual sub-forums as read in the same way.
New Buddy/Ignore List Editor Saves with AJAX
Along with a new interface, your buddy and ignore lists are saved with AJAX to prevent an unnecessary reload. Additionally to make the interface even easier to use, vBulletin searches for matching users as you type their names.
Unique Unsubscribe Link in Emails
Thread and forum subscription emails now include a link for unsubscribing that is unique to each user. When using this link, unsubscribing from a thread or forum no longer requires logging in.
Show Threads or Posts from Quick Search Popup
You can now choose to show search results as threads or posts without having to click through to the advanced search page.
Pop Up List of Attachments in a Thread
The paperclip icon that denotes whether a thread contains attachments is now clickable. It will pop up a window that shows a list of all the attachments in the specified thread, including file size and number of views.
Private Messages: Quota Warning
Once you have reached 90% of your private message quota, you will receive a warning telling you that you have almost reached your quota.

Thanks Marika! The new version looks nice! And it loads up faster than before!
The new software is cool, but I have some questions.
Why can't I upload gifs for an avatar?
Although it's now an option can we use pics in our sigs?
Will we be getting new skins for the forums soon?
Thanks :)
Thanks for the questions Matty. There seems to be some new options and they are set no or yes as default. Thanks for pointing these out.
Why can't I upload gifs for an avatar?That should be fixed now, can you test and let me know?
Although it's now an option can we use pics in our sigs?No. I fixed that too now.
Will we be getting new skins for the forums soon?Yes, the plan is to have multiple skins. The design process can start now that we have upgraded. No time estimate yet.
Thanks for all the wonderful updates.
That should be fixed now, can you test and let me know?
Yep it works :D
Thanks for the info :)

Great updates..thanks ShaniaForums team!:up:
Thanks for your replies and feedback.
Let me point out that not everything is finalized yet as what comes to the new look, so expect some small changes still. Nothing major, just a few little changes to have things back as it were, like gender in postbit, etc.
Yep it works :DThanks Matty!
i like the update, but why can't we make polls anymore?That goes back a little deeper, we have a problem with polls database, and we're working on getting it fixed. I will inform everyone once it's fixed and polls can be created again. Please be patient, it's a difficult problem.
All I have to say all changes I like. I had no any problem with them, so I'm glad with them and having a forums with a new look:p :D

I don't know if it's a bug or if it's on purpose, but I've noticed there's an extra 'bar' on the main page..
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/M-etje/Shania/ShaniaForumsBar.jpg
The bar (circled in black) is just like the one circled in yellow....I think..
Yup, I've noticed that too and that is one of the little changes that will be done.
Yeppers I have already noticed in that change, so what will you do with these changes?

You might see some subtle changes made now.

The only change I can see is you delete the number of posts of everyone from the row right of every post:D

Alex, the limit of attachments. One can attach for example pictures to a post, but there is a filesize limit.

About a week ago I had tha problem, so I had to close the explorer window and open again and in that way the forums can open. It's rare that happen to me, my internet is very quick and it's openas quick as I click Go.

Man Rule # 1 - Dont ask what her age is.
Man Rule # 2 - Never forget her birthday gift.
Man Rule # 3 - Don't ask CF what his name is. :funny:
If you never forget her birthday, you'll always know her age.
Aren't rule #1 and 2 incompatible?
I thought CF told me what his name was. But I forgot.
I also have not seen Old Cowhand in so long, that I forgot
he and Mizery1 were two different persons.
Meanwhile, back to the topic at hand.
I'm gonna have to try out some of these new options.
Multple quotes would help me a lot if I can figure it out.
Also the increase/decrease text display area may help, if I understand that correctly, and can find those tiny arrows.
Uh-oh, I hit the double down arrow key at lower right. Now my text display area seems narrower. Only fills about 3/4 of width of screen. And the rest is half width adverts, which require scrolling to see the other half. What'd I do wrong?
Oooh!! I LOVE the "go to page __" feature. Poking thru those long threads one page at a time was a nuissance.

Nah! :p
But I forgot.
See why? :p (jk...I've only told very few people- it's actually kinda fun being so mysterious :funny: )
and also...(to anyone who says): I AM NOT Crazy Frog!!! lol
Ahah!!
I had to switch to "Advanced Edit Mode" to see all those gizmos you were talking about.
The text area size arrows works great.
Interrogatories to the Defendant:
Can I add editing icons to my edit window?
For example, I often don't catch my errors until a later read. Sometimes by then other members have already seen my error or even quoted it. I don't want to hide the fact I made the error. But I don't want to leave it uncorrected either. The solution for me is to apply a 'strike over' font to the error text, then re-enter the correct text behind it. So I'd have a lot of use for an icon in my edit window for the 'strike-out' feature. An alternative I've been using, is to remove the erroneous text and replace them with a font of a different color.

I'd have a lot of use for an icon in my edit window for the 'strike-out' feature.Strikethrough is not a stock bb code for vBulletin, I've added that manually. That's why a button for it does not show in the Reply and Edit pages along with all the other bells and whistles.
There subtraction of years is very confusing.Whatta? After a certain age, we are always 25, one number to remember always, very easy :]
Click the MuiltiQuote icon (it turns red) for each one you want than click Post Reply at the bottom of the thread.Yep, like Randy said, next to the Quote button in all posts is a new Multiquote icon and when you move your mouse over it, it says: "Multiquote this message" and once you press that, it turns red, so you'll know you have chosen that post. After you have chosen what posts you'd like to quote, just go to bottom of page and press "Post Reply". You can also choose posts that are on different pages on the thread.

That's a great strategy.
Unfortunately, my forgetter is not so sophisticated as that. It forgets most everything except pictures and faces. And if faces have wrinkles, that's even better remembered, because it's like a map. And I love maps.

I just noticed that even though I'm logged in, there is no "Edit" button to most of my previous posts, only the most recent one(s). What is the situation with that? I thought under older versions of vBulletin, I did have an edit button for all my own posts.
Another thing I noticed, is that even though I'm logged in to the mb, when I quote someone's post in a thread, I have to log in a 2nd time before I can post a reply. Why is that?
The third thing I noticed, is that the text of posts scrolls out of view to the right, if anyone enters a picture wider than about 550 pixels. In order to keep my text readable, without having to scrolle to the right, I insert carriage lines at about 90 characters for each line. But even on a page with no pictures, the preview mode is wider than the actual final thread display. So despite my best efforts, I find my text all chopped up with partial lines sometimes. A) There should be an easier way to keep all text within view without scrolling. B) Why do some pages display text across full screen, while other pages display text only about 2/3 of the way across the screen?

There is a time limit in which you are able to edit your posts..:)
I believe it's 3 days or something, I don't know the exact timeframe..
But even on a page with no pictures, the preview mode is wider than the actual final thread display.
Yes, I hope this will be corrected too in the future..:)

In previous versions the 'Remember Me' checkbox next to login was default as on. In this version it is now off. So if you want the messageboard to remember you, you need to check that box when logging in.

Everyone has different size sidebars, and when using liquid template, the thread display is also different based on the size of the window and screen resolution...

The edit time limit is 2 days. (Due to unfortunate misuse of that feature. It is possible that we will try again to make it longer at some stage to see if it will work..)
Perhaps it's possible to extend the time limit for the frequent posters/older members? Say members who have more than 1000 posts (or something like that)?

I think its a good idea because people have deleted old posts and made a huge mess of threads, it makes them unreadable and ruins it for people who want to read them. 2 days seems a reasonable time limit.

Okay, I'll go back to using the "remember me" checkbox again for a while. I had gotten out of that habit, mostly on other mb's, because I didn't always want to be visible, especially if I needed time to think before replying, or when there was some conflict going on.

I can understand that deleting old posts could cause problems.
Even editing old posts can cause problems, especially if someone deliberately wanted to do harm. I suppose sorting out, or trying to anticipate who might get angry at some unknown future date, and do harm, is a difficult, if not impossible task.
At least it helps to know (so long as I can remember) what the time limit is on editing posts.
I will need to be a lot more careful, and probably will do less posting. And I will no longer be able to be as creative as I've been with prior versions of vBulletin. For example, starting a thread of questions, then editing them later to include the answer, or a link to an answer, is not feasible. Now have to rely on quoting the original post, then appending added or corrected info.
That makes a thread a chronological journal, and removes the ledger function. In accounting, they keep both sets of books for a reason. One logs the transactions sequentially according to time. The other logs transactions specific to accounts. Journals can only be added to at the bottom. Ledgers can be added, subtracted, corrected, etc. at any time needed, but only for that specific account or topic.
In the world outside of accounting, information is also stored and used both chronologically, and according to category. I've often been interested in the best ways to do that. And I've noticed there are advantages and disadvantages of message boards.
In general, I'd have to agree, that as long as a message board has access to an almost unlimited number and type of persons, you have to limit their potential to do harm, more than you would, if you were participating only with trusted, reliable friends. And I've seen even people who've been on mb's a long time, be or change into a proverbial bull in a china shop.
Did not realize there were so many variabilities in text display width's, depending on each member's computer, software, settings etc. I had thought things were somewhat more standardized than that. They used to seem more reliable in the past. But I have an older machine, so I may be less well informed about newer computer gear and resulting options.
I probably can just explore my own settings, and find some basic format that works most, if not all of the time.

Yes, that's true. But that's only for important matters. We can't all be bothering you for minor corrections. I make a lot of those due to combination of old eyes, plans to correct my grammar, and forgetfulness.
I suppose, that if no one has seen my mistakes in a couple days, and the thread has moved on, then it may not matter much any more.
However there are so many threads and posts, that most members cannot keep current on them all. So sometimes we come back later, looking for specific things. Also new members join and see things posted in the past. Accurate info and statements help, inaccurate ones don't.

It was a difficult decision to make to add an time limit to edits, as I know it sometimes hinders some functions/thread ideas. But it had to be made. But like I said, I will look into the matter if the time limit can be raised or removed again, although the original problem is still there.
Unscrupulous members led to this rule.
I believe.
Yes, I believe so too. I'm aware of specific persons in the past who have been problems. It even caused me to spend most of my time on a different mb for a couple yrs or so. I've been very impressed with the leaders here, who cleaned up some of those messes. I'm sure it was a very difficult and tiring task. But it led to me returning here, as my primary posting mb the past 2-3 yrs again. Also in recent years, there has been some pretty good dialog, by persons with widely varying interests, and with fairly good tolerance and respect. Not aware of current or recent problems. But I don't need to be aware of them. If the mods/admins can handle that privately, maybe that's just as well.
Feel free to contact for anything.

I can understand that it was a difficult decision. If you and the other leaders made that choice, I'm confident you had very good reasons. Don't let minor inconvenience to me, influence your policies disproportionately. At 725 lunar years, I don't have a lot more posting left in me anyway. There's a lot of younger folk, who will have a great time here, and do some fine things, if you leaders continue to provide a healthy framework.

Don't let minor inconvenience to me, influence your policies disproportionately.I am actually happy you raised the question, because from the start it has bothered me that for example threads that contain a first post that will be edited continuously could not be made/maintained if the member didn't wish to contact moderator for the changes. So I will reconsider. Usability is very important and will benefit us all. I will weigh in all the aspects of this matter.

Are there any options in administrative settings, that allow continuous editing for only the first/opening post? I think I noticed that the polls auto update, but that's a different feature. I think that's preprogrammed into the software.

text of posts scrolls out of view to the right, if anyone enters a picture wider than about 550 pixels.
In order to keep my text readable, without having to scrolle to the right, I insert carriage lines at about 90 characters for each line.550 pixels? Do you use small screen resolution? 800x600? I use 1024x768 and a pic of nearly 800 pixels can be in a thread without me having to scroll.
This liquid layout expands individually depending on everyone's settings, as mentioned before.
Do you use 'enter'-key for linebreaks?
No, not an option for that..

Yes, I use 800x600 screen resolution. Many of my programs require that. Alas, my old eyes cannot see icons and text if settings are finer/smaller. My 17" monitor was pretty high quality when I got it 6 yrs ago. And I have 5 options for higher resolution up to 1280 x 1024 pixels, and one or two added settings below my current one, for lower resolution.
I have a sticky note that for vBulletin a few yrs ago, 450 pixels wide images included everying on the vbulletin web page with no scrolling at all. 550 pixels was max width including user name (and avatar if used) without scrolling. 725 pixels wide images were max for full screen width without scrolling for image, but required some scrolling for text.
Yes I do use "enter" key for line breaks. I probably should make them at 78 or 80 characters, instead of rough estimate - eyeballing of 90.

You must do a lot of scrolling sideways and down.
Enter key strokes should work ok for line breaks.
That's what I do to break my posts if there is a large pic posted on the thread. It can be quite a pain. Link would perhaps work better on some cases if thread has only one large pic among a lot of text or smaller pics.
