Changes
 

hello all-

After over 10 years I think it is time for a change

for the past month behind the scenes the CSC forum has been getting a facelift and update.


We are updating the forum software to the the latest offering from vBullien. This will allow many new features including loading photos from your computer, reviewing forum topics with a mouse over in the main forum, and TONS of other stuff that I likely will have no idea how to use...but hopefully you all will.

One BIG change is relates to this forums display name vs registered name, yes this(the old) forum allows you to register with one name but in the forum another name is seen.

Unfortunately vBulletin has no provision for separate names. In the new ClassicSeacraft world, you are who you are. In this case, everyone is identified by their registered names. At import the choices are to drag them in by one or the other and we went with registered.


So if you have 2 names the one that will be seen in the new forum is the one you register with, we can change this after the import but keep in mind when we change you viewed name THAT will now be the name you register with.


The migration is happening over this weekend so....some of your posts from this eve on MAY be lost, sorry in advance but we are trying to do this late night with minimum users

Also i do not want to take credit for this, yes i paid for it well...the people the placed ads for boats paid for it and I filled the difference....but I did not do the work I hired member "Valiant" to do this and I really want to thank him publicly for his help, he is a genius and one of the easiest people I have worked with in a while, so....John THANKS!!

Hey, Trayder. Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work keeping this forum going. I sent you some cabbage to help out. (Just hope I'm smart enough to figure out how to use it after the changes). Boo! :D

Re: Changes
 

Good Deal J, I scooted thru some of the features on the beta test. As discussed, I didn't see the Admin & User section?

BTW: I hope YOU don't lose your "Velvet Jones" recognition :eek:

Re: Changes
 

You mean "Uncleboo" won't be Uncleboo anymore????

Everything else sounds great and looking forward to seeing the New CSC!
Thanks Jason....as always, a great job.

Nice work J.. :cool:
Looking forward to the new learning curve! :D
The only problem I see with a late night change over
is the "Egg Dog" may suffer some sort of withdrawal.. :eek: as that is the time he is
usually online.

Now, for "To tell the truth" will the real Spidercrab please step forward.. :eek: :rolleyes: :D

See ya, Ken

Re: Changes
 

Yesssssss VBul I cant wait to see the new forum layout

Re: Changes
 

Hey Ken, I think the early morning hours are when "Egg Dog" gets into the spiked Egg Nog!! Ya know Christmas will be here soon and he wants to be ready for Santa :) However if Santa really is checking his list twice, ESD may be in a bit of trouble......even though he tries to live under the radar..
