Upgrading forum software Monday AM! You'll have to reset your password after.

dont add to much, i stopped going to some cobalt forums cause they added just way to much and made it to complicated it made me stop going there.

Don't worry - it's not going to be too different from what you're used to.

Sure I do quality assurance for a software company so I might be able to help you out. Shoot me a link with what you have going on and I can try to help you break it

OK, for anyone wanting to have a look:

To get in, request a password from the test forum. (Does NOT affect your password on the live, phpBB forum.) Your password will be emailed to you: aveoforum.com/forum/login.php?do=lostpw

Couple of notes:

1) The test forum isn't sync'ed with this one. It contains what was on it the last time I did a test import, last week.

2) The test forum is wearing the default vB theme for now. We'll be changing that over.

3) Your avatar will be missing.

If you notice anything else, let us know! Feel free to try this out, anyone.

If you notice anything else

Signature issue resolved on the test vB forum - was just a permission setting.

So far its very general but the biggest issue for me is the color scheme. something that will help differentiate between the poster and his/her post. Some type of line in-between the two would be convienent

Thanks for checking it out.

Colours & design issues ... the ultimate goal is to use a skin/theme that's as close as possible to the current one.

To get things started, we may just plop our current header at the top of the vBulletin theme until we're sure all the functional things are OK.

Getting this rolling again:

We're aiming to do the switch to vBulletin 1 week from today. Probably do the work on it Sunday night.

Will post details later this week.

[MetroMPG]

Everything's lined up for doing the switch on Monday morning at approx. 7:30 AM (EST / UTC-5).

The forum will be closed to posting for a couple of hours while this happens.

Reminder: AFTER we switch over, you have to reset your password before you can log in again.

Info about how to do that will be posted, and we'll email everyone as well.

Bump - pushed the upgrade ahead to Monday AM. (Decided that's better than messing around with it on Sunday night.)
