BP Modifications/Updates/Improvements Tracker

If we had to rename the site, I think we should call it "Dennis".

OSUGrad21 Planet does not sound right.

Hmmmm.

Maybe Tibor Planet?

Wow... 11 went from conspiracy theorist to major brown-noser in less than an hour!

Bill, what size shoe you wear?

 

[gregorylee]

I was wondering about this, show's how much I pay attention. I didn't notice it until today when I went to ding Tibor.

I haven't been around the board much since I retired for the second time. I'm still a bit in the dark about the rep system even after reading about it here in this thread. I know, I know, I'm thick. I'm maxed out on the greenies and have about 40K points but the statement for the rep is something related to being on the scout team. Wasn't that something that initally started out for someone relatively new to the board? I'm guessing that this is still a work in progress?

Ah, yes, I knew Major Brown-Noser. Third son of John Brown and Janet Noser. I hear he made General recently.

As if the dead silence weren't enough of an indication, I'm just marking this thread with notice that any/all improvements to the vB code is on hold until the new server is in place.

I see Clarity posted this in May.

Is the new server in place now? I only ask because as much as I enjoy the site, it's the slowest message board I visit, by far.

Is there any hope for improvement in the speed department?

New server is in place physically, but the migration/conversion hasn't happened yet.

Clarity was considering doing this in stages as his time permits. The newest "gold" version of the software hasn't shipped yet either, so he would in effect be doing the conversion twice. Everyone told him to wait and take care of it all at once.

Speed WILL increase once the migration/conversion takes place. I haven't talked to Clarity in a week or so, but I believe the new server will be running the site by football season. That is the goal/hope anyway. Only a finalized release of the latest vBulletin software stands in our way.

 

[Buckeyeskickbuttocks]

DOn't know for sure, but I gotta think the server shall be up and running with BP before kickoff 06.

But, no matter how long it takes, I'm in for the durration.

 

[Misanthrope]

Thanks for the info, guys.

The site's great, and it's going to get better. Cool!

Any way to add the "beating a dead horse" emoticon that they have at Bucknuts to our list of emoticons?

 

[jwinslow]

does having additional emoticons slow down BP at all?

Looks good to me.

Maybe some can be replaced with this.

Here's some I don't see used often:

:susp: :moo: :hour: :bones: :atom:

We also have two sleepy emoticons :sleep2:

 

[Golferdow01]

I use the weightlifter some and I know loKy loves the cow and nerd emoticons (go figure )

I'm not big on the rest or the facial tic really.

No way can we do away with the emoticon. With the way computerbuck used to use it for his "the sky is falling" posts concerning recruits, has now come to represent a sarcastic reply to someone's pessimistic recruiting post without even having to type a single word. Hell, I think we should change the name of from "nerd" to "computerbuck", just as the emoticon is now named "tibor"...
