The vBulletin migration - praise & suggestions

Wait, claydoh, you mean you have a LIFE outside your KFN duties?!

I've thought, at times, of getting a life, but I've never found one on the shelves of the stores I've been to, and, I believe that if they were made available, I either wouldn't like the choice of life offered, or, it would be to expensive to buy.

Thanks for the info. I'll try my best to keep my aggravation regarding the lack of nested quotes under control.

Alrighty, here's my $0.02 worth for today: I REALLY...really dislike the lack of nested quotes. I mean REALLY!! Sorry, but I find it very annoying having to manually fiddle with things to make a reply contain EVERYTHING I'm replying to. And, NO, the "multi-quote" feature is NOT the same thing.

As with my previous question--which no one's acknowledged yet --about using BB code in our profiles, is this something that's not available in vB or has it been intentionally disabled, or what?

Sorry, I have been a bit busy in other places today

No, I see no option to allow code on the bio sections.
The quotations will remain as they are at his time.

The italics thing...that was me. I changed the default style the day it went live -- got rid of the italic formatting of quotes.

Well that will sure cut down on the work load I had of answering emails by hand, haha!

Just did and it looks like it went through... I think.

Yes! Got it. :-D

I have made some changes on the server and I am hoping this will resolve the mail issues. If anyone feels like testing this, please do so.

Okay, someone please send me a PM...

Thanks

Lol i just had to help 3 with passwords, not getting the emails, but that was about half an hour back

To TPTB, as noted before I'm not receiving e-mail notifications of new PMs. In fact, looking back, since the new forum went up I haven't received ANY e-mail that would've been auto-generated. For example, when I couldn't log in and tried the password reset thing, I never received the e-mail. Then I tried creating a new, temporary account so I could get in and say, hey, it's me, and I can't log in!, but despite apparently successfully creating the account, I never received the e-mail needed to log in. And there were multiple attempts on all of the above.

I did, however, receive an e-mail directly from OS, in response to an e-mail I sent him. But that was NOT automatically generated. Someone needs to do some poking around to see why auto-generated mails aren't--at least in my case, and most likely for others, too--going out.

Hi DYK...

Googly eyes that follow your mouse arrow....

Regards...

Ah, yes, I've used '[x]eyes' since way back when. It used to sit on my desktop, much bigger than the size in my taskbar, but now that there's a taskbar option I keep it there instead.

Okay, take a look; the first is default, the second is ktest1 (I'm too lazy to crop them, so just concentrate on the quoted text!):

In the "About Me" section on our profiles, is BB code deliberately disabled, or is it not an option? I'm wondering why we can't post links in our bios.
