    Another Q about the new software.

    I noticed as I perused the member list, that the new software has made a seemingly random distinction between "members" and "registered users." I have been labelled a "registered user," and for some reason now feel like a second-class Creeker.

    (Ok, I was kidding with that last comment.)

    Question about vb3

    Jason,

    When the database was imported to the new software it seems that the import wasn't exactly perfect. Aaron will be doing a manual viewing of the database and correcting any errors he finds sometime this afternoon.

    Thanks for the information, I hadn't found that particular problem.

    Seems like a good place to inject this..............

    I used to be able to hit my back button when I was on the veiw new post page and it would refresh the new post. Now, if I hit the back button it just takes me back to the home page. It was a nice feature, but I will learn to do without it if it can't be changed.

    It's human nature to point out the negatives while ignoring the positives. So I will take this opportunity to say thanks! for all the effort you folks put into this forum. I'm convinced that your motive is to make this a great place to hang around.

    Reason:

    The designers of vBulletin decided to change this--probably for performance sake. In the last version, when you clicked on View New Posts, it would redirect you to a search page-- that search page would then run the query and redirect you to yet another page. (Hence, you were able to hit 'back', which would re-execute the query).

    In this new version, the queries are executed differently-- View New Posts goes directly to the Search Results page (the query is cached in a 'GET' header). Basically, this means when you hit 'back', it will take you to the previous (home) page.

    I am guessing it will take a little getting used to.

    I guess that had to do with the import-- I've changed Registered Users to Members-

    John,

    The new software has an enhanced text entry screen-- I believe by
    default it is enabled. iSpell may have trouble with it-- to find out,
    go to <i>User Control Panel &gt; Options</i> and see if it helps to
    turn off the advanced toolbar.

    OK, so thats what I'm doing right now. Let's see how it works.

    I did the above line with many mis-spelled words and ran "iSpell". Works with just the "Standard toolbar". THANKS!
