Website Design / Forum Upgrade Timeline

[Sarge]

Here is what needs to be done

1. Forums upgraded by vbulletin.com
2. Blog Upgraded
3. Picture forum upgraded / Arcade Upgraded
4. Website design sent to developer to skin
5. Customization
6. Done

7. The rest of the website will be upgraded to include what was there before: Interviews/Lyrics.. etc.
I can't start any of that until the design is skinned.

Saturday, March 27th- Paid Vbulletin for Vbulletin 4.0 Publishing suite/installation. They will professionally install the forum. This needs to happen first before a forum design is implemented.
Waiting on a response on installation time. Jelsoft is quick and my guess is that we will have a new installation within 3 days.

It seems like you have a solid plan of action in place to complete this. Does this mean you would like Melton & I to step aside at this point? Who are you using as the developer? I just want to make sure we are all on the same page.

Mezro...thanks Chris...

LOL...yeah I fucking did. Thanks so much for the heads up.

Mezro...looks like I am back on the clock again...

Just a friendly reminder: I have a phone call scheduled with Melton Sunday night at 8 PM (PST) to discuss the site architecture, global navigation, and production. If you guys have any questions for Melton, please PM/email me before then.

Mezro...thanks so much and have a weird day...

How about a Super-Groan button script that activates once you earn 10 discrete/different groans in a day, or in a post.. something like that?

We could call that the DiamondJimi Award count hack!

Too bad I hadn't read this thread earlier. You could have paid me instead to install vB4. I did my own board myself.

Jelsoft says 1-2 business days. Should be today or tomorrow then. Best of luck!

So Bob, what changes should we expect to see after Jelsoft completes the upgrade ??

First things first after the upgrade, I doubt Jelsoft will do it, make sure all the hacks, add-ons work.

Start some sort of feedback thread because some users I'm sure will have questions. They may lose their avatars for example. You really throughly have to check things out. Like the "Find all posts" search, etc.. Probably will have to re-install your smileys. Unless there's something extra you're paying for again Jelsoft I don' think will do that. But, again I did mine myself so that is just a guess. Font sizes will be different.

Go over everything with a fine tooth comb.

I assume you got the suite so the blogs feature is better. Also, now you be able to have a Content Management system as your front page as well.

Lots of widgets for plentiful information.

I'll post more when I remember. From a systems standpoint the PHP is different but that is transparent to the registered users.

[Bob_R]

Setting up the CMS sections and categories and the overall look and feel is going to take patience.

If you're going to use the feature. I assume you are because you're upgrading no sense not to IMO.

It's more difficult in vB4 to change things until you get used to it. Meaning for the staff. The registered users should be fine rather quickly.
