Hello and welcome to the first stage of our conversion to VBulletin. There are still some kinks to be worked out, so please be patient. For the time being I have had to disable avatars and a few of the threads may be a bit in disarray. Overall though, it appears to me that everything converted nicely and most importantly, our database is intact.
If you have any major problems that you just can't work through, then please send me a note at [email]siteadmin@originaldissent.com[/email] and I'll be glad to help you.
Best regards to everyone.

Hey MR,
Glad to see you made it in. Again let me state that this is an older version of VB that I had to first install for the convertor to work. I expect to upgrade to the latest version tonight or sometime shortly thereafter. Once I have done that, then it will just be a matter of tweaking everything to get us back looking and functioning normally.

Nice job, TD. It looks good. One suggestion...you may want to setup a server redirect from [url]http://forum.originaldissent.com/index.php[/url] to [url]http://forums.originaldissent.com/index.php.[/url] You may confuse some of the less net savvy folks.
Otherwise, awesome shtuff.

Will it be possible to have a link for "new posts" within any thread one might be in? Like the previous format. Or maybe there is one and I don't see it.

I'm very sensitive to changes like these. I get used to a page, and, you know, you get used to it. It's like when VNN changed. I still haven't gotten over that.

Believe me, Hugh. Nobody is more apprehensive about changing all of this than I am. If I didn't believe that it was going to pay off in stability and security for future growth, then I wouldn't be doing it. It's not like it's a lot of fun or anything. Please hang in there.

The way I see it, nobody wants this to work more than Texas Dissident. He has good reason, such as security issues, that most of us may have no idea about. He explained some of his reasoning in the strategy thread, that VB was known to be stable and more secure to DOS and other attacks...that the other software had major issues and substandard tech support(correct me if I'm wrong). I don't like changes either, but realize it sometimes has to happen for a greater reason. I think a software change is relatively minor compared to what the Jews have planned for us.
Good job TD, thanks for the effort. Let me know if you need any assistance (finance and otherwise).

2003-09-17 21:36 | User Profile
Members of this group have been conditioned to automatically dislike change, since most of the changes in our lifetimes have been negative. On top of that I'm a creature of habit.
But these will be changes for the better, and will facilitate real progress.
TD, your efforts are appreciated. Be sure to let us know how to reimburse you when you get a PO box.

The new format does take some getting used to. The major problem I've noticed is that some of the threads are so badly formatted as to be unreadable. It appears to be caused by the 'QUOTE' tag.

The change to VBulletin was quick. To tell the truth, I was a little shocked when I surfed over to OD yesterday. I thought VBulletin was still being discussed as part of wish list.
I'll withhold my opinion on the new look until TD is finished with it. You're doing a great job with the board Tex.
2003-09-18 13:20 | User Profile
It is harder to post with Vbulletin. For one thing, it is unclear with the title bar when one has overshot the limit. Also, the 'new posts' function is more limited, which I depended on to easily read the old forum. I remember when Stormfront made the same change, didn't like it there either. Undoubtedly it is an administrative-end improvement rather than a user-end improvement. I support that.
2003-09-18 14:50 | User Profile
Considering the amount of cyber attack Stormfront endures, its infrequent downtime is a tribute to the robustness of the vBulletin software. OD, using the old software, suffered less cyber attack but more actual downtime than SF. When more and more of Aryan_Chum's ilk start to show their faces hacker central canâââ‰â¢t be far behind.
As far as I am familiar with this software it is possible to return almost 100% to the original look/feel and functionality of the old forum. Interested users may which to consult [url=http://www.vbulletin.org/]this site[/url] which is driven by vBulliten technology.

My heart can't take this conversion. Experience with vBulletin (all Versions) is not good.
Hope you buck the trend and the usual fall off in traffic.
Note that I'm using RSS on my renamed blog - Old Right - BATR Reflections Blogger [url]http://oldright.com/[/url]
Direct posting from NewsIsFree goes directly on the blog.
Also I joined Bloglines [url]http://www.bloglines.com/[/url] and my blog is now listed in their directory.
Recommend that you join and have OD listed.
LewRockwell blog can be posted directly to my Yahoo Groups. Wonder thing RSS . . .
Lastly, new private Yahoo Group - Old Right, that accepts membership from the public. The private BATR Yahoo Group accepts membership for columnists and editors.
Need to take double my medication over the shock of actually using vBulletin Version 2.3.2
I must really like your guys!

Do you happen to know where it went BTW? Right now I can't even find the new version.
As far as administrative-end vs. user-end, I'm sure there must have been a lot of administrative issues - otherwise Tex wouldn't have felt it necessary to make such a big change.
I certainly don't have the drive to technically master and run a forum. If it makes the adminstrators job easier so as to free up time for other forum things I'm sure its well worth it.

Everyone sees that the 'new posts' function is as before? Second arrow from the left top right hand corner.
2003-09-20 00:51 | User Profile
Oops, my confusion. Sorry, it is not as it was with 'today's active topics'.
2003-09-20 03:39 | User Profile
[QUOTE=wintermute]Yeah, I see that.
I guess what I was asking for was something approximating 'today's active topics'. The 'new posts function' is only good for, well, new posts. It's no good if I want to read now and reply a few hours later.
Wintermute[/QUOTE]
Oh I see it now. Tex hasn't got the arrow marked yet.
Yeah, that's a real pain to use. It only marks the new posts from when you last used the function.
Tex, I know you're busy, but surely you can put that search function as a high priority to fix. Madrussian as well has noted that a good "self-search" or "latest posts" function is essential to making these forums user-friendly and a key to their popularity.
I'd think it would be fairly easy to just change the criteria by which posts are evaluated for inclusion in the search. See how good VB's support is.

Thanks Okie, I appreciate those kind of suggestions and I'll do that. One thing I haven't mentioned is that the conversion is also a big learning curve for me also. What we had previously was the result of months and months of tweaking, modding, etc. As far as latest posts/self search, play around with the subscriptions functions. I think this board may try to provide that type of function through their subscriptions to topics feature.
To be quite honest, the more I look into everything VB can do from the administrative end at least, the more impressed I am. Right now the board is quite functional and stable. That's the important thing. Sooner or later the board will be all integrated with the front page of the site via a news feed like portal and all of our mouths will gape wide open in astonishment. :dry: :)
Avatars and profile pictures are activated now. Keep the faith.

Now that you've done that I'll use it and keep up with the board undoubtedly much better.

Yes, we appreciate someone who has the energy to undertake al of this. It's a far greater amount of involvement than I and I suspect a lot of others would do. I can hardly do without my favorite forum monitorng function without being incapacitated.
As far as latest posts/self search, play around with the subscriptions functions. I think this board may try to provide that type of function through their subscriptions to topics feature.
Actually the subscription feature is one that strikes me is for boards where you get about one reply a week, and you hate checking it all thetime just to see if there's any life.

Regarding self-search, I wanted to bring this to your attention. If you view your profile by clicking on your name in the member list or who's online, etc., then at the top left you will see a link called 'Find last Post.' Click that and see what happens.
I know it's not real functional, but it's better than nothing for the time being.

[QUOTE=wintermute]I second this request. Following the forum at Polinco was always a pain because the new posts list evaporated after two or three views. The old board's "show me posts from yesterday (two, three days ago) to today" was very useful, and I hope it can be implemented here. [/QUOTE]
Without further ado, I give you the heralded 'View Latest Posts' feature. Same arrow as before (once logged-in, top right, second from left). It is also linked from the main index page of the site as 'Latest Posts'. My apologies for the delay, but it took me an unreal amount of time to figure out how to change that search query.

Please note at the bottom left hand corner of each page you can choose between two skins that are currently installed. The new graphics (buttons, icons, etc.) have yet to be rolled out, but they should be part of the next release candidate.
This is the official 3.0 vbulletin final version that I have been waiting for ever since converting over. The significance of this first 'gamma' release is that the templates used in the software are finished and will not change. This means that hacks and mods can be written and installed without worry that all the code will become useless with another upgrade.
So what this means for the users here will be things like a portal/content management system (CMS) for the main index page of OD, a links section, etc. in the days to come.
As always, I appreciate your patience as we undergo some reconstruction, but I am positive that the end result is now in sight and the board and site will perform and look better than ever very soon. Once I have the final 3.0 version, I don't anticipate making any further changes to the core software ever again.

Shame on you. It requires a tremendous amount of cash to run a false-front operation, uh I mean the premier conservative forum on the the web.
Maybe I could get in on some of that action if I let the AIPAC boys take over behind the scenes, but so far they haven't contacted me. If you see a new OD moderator named Yehuda or Ben-Hur then you might start suspecting something has changed.

Please note that if you preferred the old style of displaying threads where the user information was on the left side of each specific post, you can now select that as a skin. It is the 'Blue Legacy' skin that can be selected at the bottom left of every page or made as your default skin in the 'Options' menu in your User Control Panel.

Also don't forget about the 'threaded' and 'hybrid' thread viewing modes available under the 'Display Modes' at the top right of each specific thread, or defaulted when selected within your User control panel. If that's your cup of coffee, of course.

Earth tone skin seems to be in vogue in America.

TD,
I like the new look also. Also I want to suggest a new category under Politics, Southern Nationalism. I would like to discuss Southern Nationalism issues with the Southern nationalists here as well as hearing about what others have to say about it. Also I would like a a place to find SN issues rather than jumping around to other sections to find them. A new heading with this title would attract Southerners and Copperheads alike and add new members to this forum from this section of Paleo-conservatism. I have not found too many SN forums and they either have no traffic or have little brainpower.

TD-
This site is looking great. Without a doubt, one of the best looking and most functional discussion sites I've ever laid eyes on.
Keep up the good fight.

I am new to the board and the other boards I frequent use the same format.
:thumbsup:
If I get into too much reading, I will forget which board I am on. :huh:

Thanks to TexasDissident for handling the recent crash.
I notice that the "new posts" menu option is now only available after I sign in. I think it's useful to have this option for lurkers as well.
