[------]

:salamext:

DO u like it or not?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

give me time to decide

Assalamu Alaikum

the layout still is nice, mashaAllah

[crayon]

Not really...

Is it just me or does the menu that comes up when you click "user cp" not working?

[------]

:salamext:

It's not just you lol. It doesn't work.

And you cant view the person's reps on the left hand side anymore...

:w:

[------]

:salamext:

They are still there....but u have to have the exact link...

[☆•♥°ąყ℮Տիმ°♥•☆]

:sl:

:w:

['Abd al-Baari]

:sl:

There seems to be more options in the CP like the Photo/Albums, and the Social Networking..?

But i can't seem to find the Main CP, where you can see the subscribed threads, reps etc etc...:?

Customise your Own Profile (Bit like userpages)
http://www.islamicboard.com/profile.php?do=customize

Upload Albums and Pictures (This may go or i may leave it on will see how it goes)
http://www.islamicboard.com/album.php?u=12930

Add Friends on your buddy list
http://www.islamicboard.com/profile.php?do=buddylist

[------]

:salamext:

For a start, u can fix the User CP so it works (the link on top left of page)
And secondly, The reps have dissapeared from the left hand side.

[crayon]

Serious question: What are buddy lists for?

[------]

:salamext:

LIsting ur mates on the forum. Lol.

[crayon]

Ooooh, if you're taking suggestions, I'd love if you got rid of the little blue marks that indicate rep power. I think it would be much better if it were just a number. Plus, they continue in another line for some people, which is quite annoying.

:salamext:

LIsting ur mates on the forum. Lol.

Can anyone but you see it? How do we access it?

[IbnAbdulHakim]

[Danah]

Aslaam Alykom all

looks like everythings was fixed well. the buddy list is a good idea, but I think we used to a specific design so its hard somehow to convert to another.

[crayon]

When will the "notice" disappear?

edit- ooh, i just saw the profile pages, quite nice!

[Khayal]

:sl:

Wow!! MashaAllah.

It looks so awesome, I liked it very much. jazaak Allaah brother S for upgrading LI.

:w:

[Whatsthepoint]

:-[:exhausted:-\:laugh::blind:
Sums it all up..

Well, I'll get used of it :)

[islamic]

Well, I've read this on www.vbulletin.org so . . . . why you didn't wait the full version? :)

THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE.
IT IS UNSUPPORTED.

If you are not fully at home with backing-up and restoring your forum, dealing with bugs and regular upgrades, DO NOT INSTALL THIS BETA VERSION

[piXie]

:sl:

The New Version has some interestin additional features, but they seem to be abit of a hassle n distraction :hmm:

Plus, m sad th beneficial member pages have gone and been replaced by just a chat box? :omg: which will most likely become a smelly ol spam box :exhausted)

more work for the poor Mods :X (n already so many seem to be leaving :'( )

Okay, think I'll shut up now - not like I'm staying either :uhwhat

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

My userpage is still there.:? Have other pages gone?

By the way the smilies don't work when you click on them, neither do the other buttons when you're making a post [e.g. the tags].

[Whatsthepoint]

The threads one's participated in are no longer green.:mmokay:

[piXie]

:salamext:

My userpage is still there.:? Have other pages gone?

:wasalamex

no no, their links have gone frm th forum - had to use th link sis Ayesha gave n search through my history for mine :exhausted

By the way the smilies don't work when you click on them, neither do the other buttons when you're making a post [e.g. the tags].

working for me alhamdulillah :p

[*charisma*]

Assalamu Alaikum

Its so...different :cry:

I can imagine the future of LI :muddlehea

"You removed me from your friend's list? :ooh:"

"Why haven't you accepted my request? :embarrass"

"Stop trying to bribe me with reps :mmokay: I'll accept you when I want, k? :sunny:"

"Pshhhh, I have 7 notifications :coolious: how many do you have?"

Ok, that's enough imagining for the day lol. Seriously though, it's not too bad, it will just take time getting used to. Inshallah Khair, and may it benefit inshallah.

fi aman Allah
wa'alaikum asalaam

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

^lol...

how do the tags work? what are you supposed to tag?

Similar threads?

Salaam....

(btw, i think its a neat upgrade...)

[-S-]

at the end of each thread click on "Edit Tag" then you can tag it for searching on later

i stilll got quite a few small bits to sort out etc in terms of putting everything back to normal

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

^Right, i tried just adding a tag, "Invalid link please contact Administrator" or something, but i just tried to add text, it has to be a link?

Also, i noticed the boards a lot slower...This new vBulletin heavier than the last 1?
Also, are all the previous mods you installed still compatible with this 1, as well as the themes/skins..?

Salaam

hmm nah just add text not links -

All previous mods well they seem to be working fine with this version likewise with the themes and skin to i still gotta sort out teh aria theme!

Server loads are a bit high at the moment problably cos backup maybe running

but ill keep an eye on it next few days inshallah if need be get a more faster server

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

i still gotta sort out teh aria theme!

That explains it.

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

Yeh tags work, i did the test...

Oh and Sajid, you know in the upgrade? It will of kept all your mods that you have made coz they have special programmes that can detect them right, so they know not to replace that bit of code in the upgrade.

But one problem you have is, it deleted all the manual code edits you did yourself. I dont know which Admin originally did it (Thank god they did) but they deleted all the Tables ( <tr> ) around the instant messaging tables in the memberprofile.php script.

So the problem that arises here, is people can enter their instant email adress, (MSN, Yahoo etc) and its viewable! Them tables are there!

you can see it in mine, (obviously i didnt enter my real one) but if you click into my profile, then into the Contact me tab, you'll see what i mean, has my fake MSN there.

Just thought id say that, you might have already realised :D

Salaam....

[Nájlá]

i seen my profile page and its looking good but i need to get used to some of the stuff

[Nájlá]

can any1 try and tell me why does this cross keep coming in my profile i want to remove them. this usually comes up if the image is not working. but i dont have an image

[snakelegs]

i'll vote when/if i ever figure it all out! ;D
i'm one of those "the-old-one-was-better" types. :-[

[Intisar]

:sl: It's not really that bad, I'm kind of confused as to which features are still available and which aren't, but all in all alhamdulilah it's nice. :statisfie

[snakelegs]

it used to be, when you clicked on somebody's profile, you could see the threads they have posted in the past and all of their posts.
what happened to that feature?

[*charisma*]

It's still there. When you click on the member's username and it takes you to their public profile, there are tabs above the visitor message text box (the tabs are: visitor messages, About Me, Statistics, Friends, Contact Info) click on the tab that says "statistics" and you should see that feature there still.

:salamext:

And what about the userpage link??!! on the persons's profile??

:salamext:

Totally my thoughts!!! :( All the nice-ness gone!!

[IbnAbdulHakim]

before i use to think of LI as "simplicity at its best", now lol, thats out the window !

Assalamu Alaikum

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

^At first bro, i thought that was harsh, now i agree.

hmmm, for other forums, i would say that the upgrade is ok, the new friends feature and stuff, but for LI, i preffer the old one, thinking about it. It felt better then.

Not just the look, but the whole feel of the board, now it feels a little more unclean, or is that just me...

[------]

:salamext:

^ It's not just you lol. I get the feeling it's a bit like hi5.... :ooh:

[-S-]

salams

i can always remove the Friends and Album and profiles list if need be :)

[-S-]

ok aria is 95&#37; fixed

[Nájlá]

salams

i can always remove the Friends and Album and profiles list if need be :)

i dont mind if u remove the friends list from the profile but i think that the album shoud stay it isnt going to effect any1

[-S-]

hmm well if u guys want album i can put it up ..i need to check out whether it will affect performance of the server though

[snakelegs]

It's still there. When you click on the member's username and it takes you to their public profile, there are tabs above the visitor message text box (the tabs are: visitor messages, About Me, Statistics, Friends, Contact Info) click on the tab that says "statistics" and you should see that feature there still.

ah - thankyou!

[Pk_#2]

How come people can't see their reps? I can see mine,

And my subscriptions, well I got none, But if I did, it will be up..

[IB-Staff]

One of the best thing I like about this upgrade is the Edit post history :D

[------]

:salamext:

^ Whats that?

[Al-Zaara]

One of the best thing I like about this upgrade is the Edit post history :D

Care to explain? Where can I find that?

edit: JazakAllah kheyr.

[------]

:salamext:

*BUMP

*calls out* LI STAFF! Explain lol

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

Probably that mods...can see the post, before it was edited init....

how annoying it is, when some has their post

:sl:

edit

At least it wont be annoying the mods no more :'(


:w:

[Admin]

^lol. Not sure if it's for members too. But currently that option is only available in the vBSEO skin.

Edit.

[Admin]

Test successful. It's available for members too. Test it yourself :D Edit any of your recent post. and then click the link in the "Last edited by..." remark.

[Al-Zaara]

Test successful. It's available for members too. Test it yourself :D Edit any of your recent post. and then click the link in the "Last edited by..." remark.

This should have existed when I was a mod, sigh... I think you can imagine why I'm saying so. :p

Yeh so it works for me...but can a mod see it aswell?

ahem, so can i mod try it...

[------]

:salamext:

I'm still lost :-\

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

^Your on islamicboard.com

nah...basically...when you edit your post (provide a reason), and then you use the vbSEO skin

>>change skins

Then where it says ' Last Edited by Ahlaam ' That will be a link, click that link, and you have the edit post history...

The reason why its just available with that skin, will be coz its not compatible with vb 3.7.0

Thats a 3.6/3.5 skin, so it wont have that function available in it, if u get me...

Salaam...

[Admin]

Quite opposite I guess. That's a 3.7.0 special feature.

Yeh so it works for me...but can a mod see it aswell?

ahem, so can i mod try it...

Yea we can see it aswell, in the sections we moderate.

This should have existed when I was a mod, sigh... I think you can imagine why I'm saying so.

lol

[truemuslim]

interesting...

its a bit wierd gettin used to a new skin but i actually like it..............................OK FINE its hooorrible ... am kiddin. is the edit thing ur all talkin boout on the element blue skin too??
:w:

edit...testing

edit 2... hm interestin. there is no link on the "last edited by.."

?

[Admin]

is the edit thing ur all talkin boout on the element blue skin too??

Currently it's only in the vBSEO skin.

[Ibn Al Aqwa]

Quite opposite I guess. That's a 3.7.0 special feature.Yea we can see it aswell, in the sections we moderate. lol

soz, what i meant lol, was that the other skins arent compatible fully with 3.7.0, so an extra feature like that, wouldnt work with that skin...
