Howdy... have set up the new forum software and skin for testing purposes, and can be seen here (/vb3/). EDIT: upgraded to vb3

It's not entirely final as I still have a few graphics and layout items to work on. Once it's complete I'll also be upgrading to the latest (stable beta) version of the software.

I'll be flushing the database clean on the test forum before importing the existing forum content and members so feel free to post gibberish... Just want to make sure everything works well before I make the big switch.

I might have missed something here, but how do I get in to the new Forum? It doesent recognize my screen name and I cant register a new one.
Looks promising and looking forward to "production version".

The new database is empty right now as I have yet to import a copy of this forum's database/member list.

Thus, you'll need to register to the new forum if you want to help with testing. http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

It&#39;s been very quite on the new board, not much testing/messing around, can&#39;t be long to go now&#33;

Coastal,
How are things looking? &nbsp;Any estimate as to when you will go live with the new DB?

I think Coatal is really making sure the new board is going to work before he changes over and he also has to convert all this board over, not an easy thing to do I would have thought.

I am sure the little wait longer will be well worth it, I for one can&#39;t wait to see all the bells &amp; whistles, hint hint, how about an engine starting when you log on http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

I am sure Coastal is trying to move everything over which should include all our sign ins as well, and I think he has another day time job as well to do so &#39;pennies in the pocket will come before his &quot;hobby&quot;, unless we can get some more donations in&#39;

As long as it is not live on April 1, http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/devil.gif spooky http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/music.gif

the neverending battle... go to upgrade to vb3 (which runs fine (/vb3/)), but now find out that I can only import into vb2, then after that have to upgrade. Since I can&#39;t downgrade the software, it&#39;s yet another reinstallation in my future

jeez.. every step forward sends me 2 steps back.. will update when I have some better news, probably not for a while now, sorry &nbsp;http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif
