Exclamation Current Forum Development

I'm going to be using this thread to report exactly what is going on as far as forum development is concerned. I'd also like to see some feedback so I can see whether or not the users are happy with what's going on

What we're working on right now is changing up the current theme or "style" of the page. The theme we've got on here right now is vBulletin's standard theme that comes with vB so hopefully by the end of next week we'll have a new style that reflects ksb and ken's corner in full color Stay Tuned!

If you guys haven't noticed, the forums were down mostly this morning due to some web server database problems but, as you can tell, everything is good now

Now excuse me while I empty out about 100 emails from my inbox in response from the vB software on the database problems we had earlier.

On the note of forum skins/themes, I've been working on this, just haven't finalized a design yet. So, be patient

Cool Avatars Now Enabled!

After talking a bit with Tim Bishop, seems as if custom user avatars were never enabled, well, now they are!

Adding an Avatar:

If you have an image you would like to use for your avatar, here is how you can do do. Assuming you are logged in, you can click on User CP. When there, you will see a link for Edit Avatar. Once there, you should see something similar to this:



What you can then do is, select the Use Custom Avatar radio button and proceed by either entering the location (url) of the file hosted on the web, or by browsing for the file on your computer.

Avatar Rules and Restrictions:

These rules are subject to change in the future, but for now they will be as follows:
  • There will be no usage of annoying animations as an Avatar.
  • Avatars must be appropriate, which goes along with the first rule.
  • Avatars used will be no greater than 80 x 80. (shouldn't have to worry about this though)
If we find your avatar to break a rule, it will be removed after a notification from us on its removal along with a reason stating why it was removed.

If you guys still haven't added an avatar, please do! Take a picture of your bass, or yourself, or even your favorite artist if that's what you want up there.

SMITH BASS FORUM ANNOUNCEMENT

Forums will be temporarily down for maintenance later tonight around 9-10PM EST. We are getting rid of our original hosting provider for our main domain, kensmithbasses.com and switching it to the same host providing us with smithbassforums.com. Our old host was very expensive and the new host is on a whole new level, while keeping prices at a minimum, so please bear with us while we are making these changes...

Forums Back Up

This procedure took much longer than expected.. but everything is all good now, enjoy

Thanks Mike! I was having Forum withdrawals last night. This really is not good for my insomnia!
