New look for ClassicSeaCraft
 

Hi everyone. Welcome to the new look for the message board. Log in now and look around. Make some posts! :)

One of the things you will want to do fairly soon is correct your birthday info. (Sorry, everyone has to do this. I can't get the birthday data to transfer from the old board correctly.)

To do this, click: User CP> Edit Your Details> Date of Birth

You can edit other details on that page as you see fit. Don't forget to click [Save Changes] button at the bottom of the page when you are done.

The time is now to see if this thing will float!

Great work!!!

Thank you J~.

As of 5 a.m., EDT, the new message board system is online and operational. I have tested it a little and everything seems to work.

Let's decorate the place and see how it looks. You can upload your avatars by going to your User CP> Settings and Options heading> Edit Avatar. Look in the column on the left to find the link. (See illustration below)

You can make other changes there as well. In addition to Edit Avatar, there is Edit Signature, Edit Email & Password, Edit Options, which controls a whole gamut of custom settings, and Edit Ignore List. Hopefully nobody will need to use that! :eek:

Lookin' real good...

The registered name now showing will take some time to get used too..

See ya, NoBones

Very Nice!! Great work!!

Small thing . . . Is the time stamp a user control? 9:45am here on east coast.

pm space
 

The PM capacities changed so everyone better get in and clear some room. I just was denied access to 2 members' pm because they are full, as was mine.

Very Nice
 

Looks great!!! Good work & thank you.

Can't get avatar to work

Sorry about those denials. This is a new board and it still has some of its default values in place.

I noticed during the upgrade that this board has a lot of PM activity, so I have increased the number of PMs that can be stored to 500. Hopefully this will be sufficient. :)

As for your "formerly known as" status, your name can be changed to anything you wish by your board admin. The important thing to remember is once your name has been changed, you must use that new name to login to the board.

In the end this new system should be easier to remember because you will always have one name for everything.

Sorry about that. Custom avatars were turned off for Registered Users (another board default). I have turned them on now. Please check again and see if you can add images.

There are a million settings to change on a new board. Please be patient, keep reporting bugs, and everything will be ironed out. :)

Yes, Bigshrimpin, that may be changed by going to UserCP> Edit Options> Scroll down to Date & Time Options.

What time does the board say it is without any tweaks?

Sig. Picture
 

Can not get a picture, it won't up load and it is only 47.kb

What are the physical dimensions of the image? (ex: 320x480)

"change" !
 

But this seems to be a Good One.........

Ok, I give up how do I get my "NoBones" name back...?
oldfielder & Island Trader seemed to have figured it out...

The poster formerly known as NoBones...
Also it looks like my total post count went below 2000...
Lost about 75 or so

See ya, now known only by symbol ( Like Prince) Ȥ

Give em some time.

No Bones should be plying local waters now. Loving the morn.

Cheers,
GFS

Thanks Gang....great web site getting better :)

Looks like "NoBones" is retired. Or...maybe has no occupation.

If you want your name changed PM me I do it manually

Keep in mind when you change it it becomes the name you log in with

Thanks J !!!

I can sleep tonight....


See ya, ȥ

For some reason, when you flip a forum, the post count goes down. I am not sure why this happens, but it is very consistent.

To get your old name back, you need to be really nice to an admin. I'd say a six pack should buy you any name you want. :cool:

320x240...also why must we enter over 10 characters for a simple message?

More default settings. It takes a while to chase them all down.

Fixed.

Keep the comments coming...

Viewing
 

How can we view the most current post to a thread without having to go to the last page?
ET

Check out your "user cp" link above and to the left


There are literally dozens of viewing options that you can customize

Links to old posts inop
 

I notice that links to old posts that have the folder identifier /forum/ in them do not work. I clicked n the link in a message and it didn't work. I get the following for several links:
"This message board system is now closed. - If you came here by clicking on "Forum" from the main site, go back and force a full refresh on the page by holding Ctrl and pressing F5. Once the page refreshes, the "Forum" link should take you to the correct page. - If you have come here via a direct link, (another site or a bookmark on your computer) you should update your bookmark at this time. - The new Classic SeaCraft message board address is - - - http://www.classicseacraft.com/community/ - - - Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience."

That is correct.

Unfortunately, there is no workaround for this that I am aware of other than to locate the corresponding linked-to post on this vBulletin board and correct the referring link in the post manually.

Are the threads appearing this way to everyone, or is this something isolated?

Changes
 

OK, so, I'm finally able to get in the door, but, I think I screwed up on my PM settings. Anyone who sent me a PM to be a contact was deleted except for NoBones. Don't ask me how, it just happened. ( ID10T error) I apologize for the error and ask that anyone who sent me one, please resend it. I will play with this some more tonight and see if I can figure it out. (I'm kinda slow with computers, so, please be patient with me.) Thanks!

Lovin the new look thanks guys

I tried to send Denny (bushwacker) a PM, however, was denied. Does this mean he has more than 500 messages in his inbox? Popular guy... :)


Great job with the updates fellas
Brandon

Yeah....I think NoBones, Snookerd and I'm sure the moderators had like 1800+ messages they had to clean up. Denny is running a bit slow. ;)

Hey Don... so that's what your boat looks like. It was so small before :)

I'm trying to figure out how to get mine bigger...

"I'm trying to figure out how to get mine bigger..." Me too, however I think it's way too late for that. :)


Yeah, I had no idea when they made the change my avatar would go super size. I didn't do anything , it just came out like that. I'm figuring they will come up with a way to get everyone's the same size as before. I do kinda like it though, makes the picture look much sharper!!

I'am not even going here.....
For sure I would be in deep doo doo.,.,.,.,

Maybe a magnifying glass would help?

See ya, ╚©

Interesting, thought I went to the wrong site.

How about signature pictures ? I have tried uploading one and linking over my photobucket url and still nothing ?

Check the dimensions of the image you are using.

Current settings allow a 500x300 image up to 100kb in size.

yes the image is very small thats why i am a little stumped

Crapolas...my new user name is my old password..what the heck...how did that happen??!!!..
