Have you addressed the issue with the private messages? Mine still reads 310 messages that are all still individual responses and not compiled together into single conversations.

Every Vbulletin board I'm on (at least a dozen) has pm's individually. For now I bumped the limits, but I think to change it to individual conversations will require custom coding. I'm sure it's doable, but I need to get an estimate of cost and time.

Any reason I am not getting this photo to post in my signature ?
And why am I not seeing the smiley guys when I made this post?

Mike

The smilie box shows up automatically for regular replies, for quick reply you have to click the smilie to see them. Your sig pic works now.

Thanks Jody...figures...that's the only option I didn't try for the youtube videos!

I am not sure about before...I think we clicked on the you tube button, pasted in the link in the box and hit enter....

We need a Jody Rocks icon, too! Can you get that up when you have a minute? Thanks for all that you are doing!:headbang:

Okay, trying it Jody's way

Hmmm...I must be doing something completely wrong?

I noticed no more 5 star rating for supporting members that can sell stuff. Are those coming back?
Also before when you read a thread the thread would show no more new threads after reading them but now you have to press "Mark Forums Read" to get rid of the logo that is still not read. I used to like that feature knowing I was up to date reading the threads in specific categories when the old format was here.

Bruce,

It looks like you're using the wrong Youtube address, like their embedding deal. Just need to use this address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR1kVnPcxec

Thanks , and if I want to change it, should be no problem now ?

Mike

Should be... ;) We're tweaking it now, but go ahead and change it if you want to.

I'll have to look into this.

Mot sure if anyone has said anything about this or not but any way to do away with the 10 character requirement on replies.?.

Done.

Nice..

How do you get a photobucket video to play on this site witha thumbnail instead of having it go to the photobucket site as a link?

Not available right now. Checking to see what would be needed, Youtube has a simple plugin to make theirs work. Did the old site play Photobucket videos automatically?

Thanks Jody - my issues are resolved. I appreciate your talent and patience. 2 months from now even us old dudes won't be able to remember the "old" sYc site and our brains will have been remapped or (in Star Trek parlance) we will have been assimilated by the Borg! ;>)

P.S. Are the view counters on? They seem to be stuck at the date when the upgrade occurred.

Jody was a huge help to me also!! Thank You Much!!

Rich

No, it did not. It had the same problem with not playing them.

saved buddies and threads
 

Jody

2) Anyway to restore old saved topics ?
3) Any way to save the old "Buddies" list.


Thanks Mike

Why... when I click on a post to read, does it take me right back to the first post in the thread not the last one I've read? What do I need to reset?

BIG

Thanks for the reply!! Is there a way to switch the colors on the envelope? Maybe make the threads with new post orange, seems it would be easier to see the threads with new posts

Yes, I'm wondering the same thing. Did I miss the answer somewhere?? :frown:

Go to CP, edit option and thread display options

Not sure if this is the right place for this question...but I'm confused about this new format.

When I look at posts there are lots of 'quotations' and other wording that looks like there should be an image there, but there isn't...hard to understand what this stuff means.

Can I fix on my end, or does it need help from the home office?

The other question I must ask...why was there a need for this overhaul?? Perhaps others have asked... but I'm not sure I understand.

Thanks for the time.

Why... when I click on a post to read, does it take me right back to the first post in the thread not the last one I've read? What do I need to reset? BIG

I tried that and changed a bunch of different options, but I could not figure out how to do it.

Can you give me a link to a post that shows this? I know what you're talking about but I can't find one displaying that way right now.

Tried it too. Which mode should I be in..Linear, hybrid...?? Didn't seam to make any difference..

also, the font size stuff is appearing...maybe this is left over from the old site..

https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthrea...52#post1344252

one thing that I found is that there is no listing of a members real name in their profile. It's nice to know what a persons real name is when you pm them or when you read one of their posts. Real names were in the profile with the old software.

Yeah, his sig pic wasn't showing because it had the old UBB address for the beers smilie. I fixed his.

check this thread...it as some of the issues I mentioned.

I'll add it to my list. :haha:

Any luck w/ the issues I had noted back on Page #8 Jody?
Again, Google searching info in past threads here still finds them Ok but clicking on results now takes you to a menu page of the new system, not the old threads themselves w/ the info.
We all know how well the site search box here works so using Google the only way to find and get through to these facts.
This site's past threads are a treasure trove of Musclecar history and specific vehicle info that would now be basically useless if we can no longer access it...also a Heyday for Scammers and Cloners!
I explained this issue to someone who told me "SEO" Search Engine Optimization needs to be included w/ the update to new system, hopefully it's not too late!
Sorry I can't PM as my messages are at over 1000 after the forum update.

Fixing links is #2 on our list right now. We're also going to write custom code to put pm's in conversations like the old system, not a normal function of VBulletin. You should be able to pm, I've bumped max allowed to 3500 until we get the change made.

Curious why TIME is wrong on our postings...Is that a site issue or do I need to
make a change ????

Chuck,

You need to edit your date and time in user cp/edit options. Scroll down to date and time and set it to GMT-8, Pacific time

Yes, I've played with the different options too. It changes the way the threads are viewed, but it still doesn't take you to the newest post of the thread where I left off. The way it was you would click on a thread that, say I read yesterday, I click on the same thread the next day and it takes me to the the first new post at the point I left off the day before. It was like the old system held a cookie for everybody, that remembered where everybody left off on every thread at their particular point in time. I tried clicking the New Posts button and it shows me all the new posts for the whole site. Not what I was looking for. Linear goes one way or the other, no in between. Hybrid or Threaded doesn't achieve the desired results either.
Any ideas??

Thanks for the reply Jody also all your hard work!
Lots not to like w/ the new setup but if serious stuff all working Ok, us old dogs will just have to learn a few new tricks.
