291912 2004-11-15 07:30:00 Nice to hear of a change, though I do like the way there is only one forum here as such, rather than splitting posts into computer-related and off-topic posts.

Regarding vBulletin though, will we have the opportunity to disable images, avatars, and signatures? And the privacy of lurkers which is so well afforded here - will users be hidden by default in the "who's online" list, and you opt yourself in?

Yep :) ( I have used vBulletin (& phpbb) before, so I know ;))

Yep, I think that can be done :)

& I can tell you as a matter of fact that the upgrade/ move over to vBulletin will be a VERY Big Step for Press F1!

291915 2004-11-15 08:08:00 Well those screen shots are newer than the vBulletin I've used, but what I actually wanted to know was whether we will be allowed to disable the sigs, images, and avatars.

Anyhow, thanks for that.

291916 2004-11-15 08:08:00 vBulletin looks good. Will our accounts from here be automatically transferred over to the new forum, when it is implemented? somebody (208)

Yeath that is vBulletin 3.0.3

That’s a Good question or even if they will turn them on?, IMO I would not think that they would turn them on since we don’t have them here?

> Anyhow, thanks for that.

You are welcome :)

I would think that would depend if they can find a Jive to vBulletin converter or if some one at IDG writes one or just to start from scratch again & just keep this site as an archive…..

291919 2004-11-15 08:18:00 I think most of these are admin options - I think we'll probably disable avatars and sigs and in-forum images.

We are having a debate on bringing user accounts across. I'm personally in favour of forcing everyone to re-register and thereby actually agree to a set of rules of conduct as part of registration. I'm also in favour of forcing everyone to provide a valid email as part of the registration. Contray to popular belief, we have never and will never use email addys provided for PressF1 as part of any mail list - all the junk emails provided just cause problems when it comes to contacting people. Both these things are standard practice for forums, but I'm so far on the minority about the both things.

The guys at VBulletin are writing a converter for Jive for us.
