    Hi Guys,

    as you've probably noticed weve moved out forum from UseBB to Vanilla,

    the move is not 100% complete just yet

    TODO
    - theme
    - notifications
    - rss
    - bb code issues to test
    - etc..

    If you find any issues with teh new forum please post here and i'll check it out
    - ie. your username/password doesnt work any more
    - cant login
    - can't register

    etc..

    Cheers

    99% perfect - thanks again for the migration script!!

    issues:
    - user details - personal names didnt come through - think all set to UseBB user as first name
    - discussions started stats for each user didnt come through - but thats doesn't matter to much

    thanks again
    - the important things all worked!!
    -- all old posts, discussions, and categories came though
    -- usernames and passwords migrated perfect!!

    Now ive just got to finalise the theme, extensions and a few other things

    Cheers

    Good deal. I will actually look at the script again and see if it can't be improved and include the first and last name. Glad it worked and the new forum looks good. The last time I posted an error was generated though. If it happens this time I will post it for ya.

    I wonder if somehow the server is not listening on port 25. Can you telnet to the server on port 25 and get a response?

    I had auto subscribe on

    - i thought that this would auto subscribe your to your posts - but it auto subscribes everyone to all posts (which is retarded)
    - refer: http://lussumo.com/community/?CommentID=70078

    I've turned that off now - and enabled Notify again - so should be all happy

    - you'll now see a subscribe section on the left menu of a discussion

    Cheers

    Yeah that could end up making some people unhappy notifying everyone. The subscribe is working. Good work on the forums :-)

    like the clean look, but unifying the theme/header would be a bigger step forward.

    Not to understate your efforts, but a coherent look across the website/wiki/blog and forum would greatly improve the project. I know it's a done discussion, and you've decided on a specific system for each (e.g. Vanilla forum, dokuwiki site, wordpress(?) blog) so I won't advocate an all-in-one (Drupal? Typolight?) here, but a common header would be great.

    agreed Kai

    been thinking about that today - will most likely mod this forum theme or the default vanilla theme to be inline with the header from simpleinvoices.org

    by the way - the blog is drupal and i've been meaning to update its theme
    - also dokuwiki is able to power blogs - might have a play around with its blogging abilities to see if ti can do what we need
    -- just need to install the blog extension

    Cheers

    Hey Kai,

    the header for this forum theme is now complete and consistent with simpleinvoices.org theme

    its not Web2.0 style - but more importantly
    - its
    -- simple
    -- clean
    -- and puts the focus on content rather than flashy high-gloss design

    next update - blog renovations

    Cheers

    Justin
