vbulletin 3.5.1 Upgrade + New Layout
 

Hope you like the new look of things.

Besides upgrading to 3.5.1, I've also been working with some of vbulletin's new integration hooks to add custom code for 3dmm content. Specifically, there is now an up and running movies section. To post a movie, simply click on the "Post Movie" button on that page. Whenever you post a new movie, a thread for it gets started in the "3dmm Movies" forum automatically, so don't get confused by that.

When posting movies, I invite you to attach screenshots to your entry with the controls provided. Screenshots can be as large as 544x306 pixels, but if you choose something smaller, please make sure it still conforms to 3dmm's 16:9 image ratio. Thumbnails are automatically created from your screenshots on the server, and posted inline with your post.

The movie showcase, which is displayed on the front page of the site, also gets automatically updated everytime someone posts a movie.

Another new section is the Links. Like with the movies, users can post links to their website(s) for display on the page. If you are the owner of the link, you have the ability to edit its content whenever you need to. Also available on the edit link page, is a checkbox to "update" the link. When checked, the link 's last update field will get updated with the current date upon submittal of the form.

I'm currently still developing a rating system for both movies and links that will allow users to rate these individual items. I hope to have this done very soon.

Another integration hook I plan to use very soon is on the user profile page. Expect a listing of all your movies, reviews, and mods (according to the database) to be listed there automatically for you...as sort of a portfolio of your work!

And of course, there's all the missing sections that still need to get done. I'm working very hard on this and promise to have it done by the New Year.

Thanks for putting up with me, and let me hear your feedback! The site is still very much in development, and will definitely change more as the days roll on!

Awesome. I'll check out the new stuff and get back here, but it's good to have it up!

Can you have it so that you can see for than 40 posts per page I'd perfer something like 100 if thats not to hard.

You can set thread view stuff in UserCP... just like on the old board.

I'm sorry but this is ugly. The colors and the layout are just a confusing mess.

Also: letting people delete their posts? Ugh.

40 is the max you can set it at.

Ahh, this is great.

Still need to add the new sound tag, it got lost a long time ago.

The delete was a mistake, but I fixed it about 15 minutes ago. Is it still a prob?

See above your post.

Avatars don't seem to be updatable.
EDIT: Ok

It appears the delete was turned off for every forum but this one.

The only major issue right now is the profile problem. Non-importantly, we have the sound tag and font tag messing up.

I'm trying to fix the damn COPPA restrictions right now...

I think the coppa restrictions are fixed now...

In the rules, there's a punishment for non-existant 4.8, and there's no link to Travis's formatter.

Will post more as it comes.


Quick reply makes board look ugly.

Yeah, I haven't finished the rules yet.

thats better

Can we get rid of the "This user is online" and the "warn this user" icons, please?

At least the first one.

<lessthan10chars>why?</lessthan10chars>

edit: i get a cool red dot with invisible on :D

Is it just me, or is it really slow on IE? I'm on Firefox now, and it zips right along.

I get decent speeds with both browsers. Overall the new site looks REALLY good, but the post layout makes the sigs seem too small. Maybe they need to be larger.

okay the 10 character limit thing is ridiculous. Why is that even there?

To make Ching mad.

"yep"

blah blah, all looks good

I agree. Everything is fantastic--except the 10 character limit :(

AND THE LACK OF SMILIES :(:(:(
