Ok, fixed the group names to take off the "s". Roger, I'll be putting together a thread with instructions on some of the common features. I hope that'll help you out.

I haven't quite figured out the Location issue yet. It's a problem with the template, but it's programmatic and not as simple as "oh, it says 'Location' right here in the template". I may have to contact Invision about that one. As for birthdays, I think that'll be an easier one to fix.

I upgraded a few of you into Veterans tonight. If you've been here a few years and have a good number of posts under your belt, PM me and I'll upgrade you too. If you're a newbie, stick around, you'll get there. "Boss, I can't just go 'Poof! You're a veteran.'" "Go 'Poof!' or you're fired!" "Poof! You're a veteran!"

We used to have an app for iPhones, but we discontinued it and just moved to responsive themes so the site would display ok on mobile devices.

Annnnnd... I just figured out how to get back our square avatars.

Ok, Hoss, I fixed the colors on quotes, the "Edited" text, and the ipsType_SectionHead. The "Edited" text CSS is also used for signatures, so I didn't want to make it too light. Let me know what you think.

Updated!

Just discovered another neat feature. There can be a separate header on each forum. I just may experiment with this. Check it out: http://hazzardnet.com/forums/forum/19-james-best-rosco-p-coltrane/

Cool! Yeah, there are a few neat new features. For example, I get an email now when there's anything that needs to be moderated. That'll help get me back here more often.

Should I change the name of this thread to take out the year, so it can be used every year for the Fantasy Racing? Might be kind of cumbersome to have a new thread every year and confusing to have a current thread with 2014 in the title. Thoughts?

Ok, let's see what I did tonight... 1) New posts are under "Latest Posts & Activity" in the menu bar. You can look at just the new unread content (New Posts) or a list of all the latest activity in descending chronological order ("All Activity"). If you have any suggestions for improvements here, please let me know. 2) Not sure how to change the circular avatar. That might be something that's unfixable, but I'll look into it. 3) We'll see if people like the larger videos. If not, I'll tweak it to a smaller size. 4) That's left over BBCode. I'll have to manually go in and fix the sig. I'll fix it when I see it, but if any of you see instances of this, please let me know. 5) Done. Easy template fix. 6) That "missing image" thing on the profile page is actually the button to upload a profile pic. Not real intuitive, is it? If I can find a better one, I'll try to replace it. 7) Fixed the quote colors. If you have a better color combo suggestion, let me know. 8) Still working on the warning points colors. I'm not seeing them, probably because I'm an admin. I'll have to set up a test account. 9) I have no idea what that white circle is. Another thing I'll have to research. 10) Unbolded the "Edited" message. If you'd like me to tweak it some more, let me know. 11) Rare and Behind the Scenes photos is already in the featured topics on the main forum page. I've added the Hazzard Garage and Jaak's 1968 General Lee Project. I'm going to limit the featured topics to 10 so as to not take up too much room. There are still some various color issues I'm working on. If you spot any more, please post here and include screenshots if you can.

I've noticed a few of the color issues myself today. It's also white on white for the login form too. I will be fixing as many of these as I can tonight, with the invisible/hard to read text getting priority, followed by making the newest posts more visible/findable. The good news is that, so far, this software is easier to tweak the look than vbulletin. Thanks for all the input so far, guys. I appreciate it and hope together we can make HazzardNet even better. Aside from the forum update, I have a few other things in the works and should be announcing them soon.

Oh, and they released a NEW update last night. LOL. Ugh. Hoss, I deliberately left the sidebar off of topics specifically so the huge images in some of our best topics would fully display. I may be able to change the video size, probably another template fix.

Oh, it figures... I go through all this just to find they've taken away the preview button and customers are upset about it. I'll check for a plugin on that. It's supposed to be a WYSIWYG editor (no more bbcode needed), but in some cases the preview doesn't match what's in the editor. *sigh* The line between post and signature should (keyword "should") be a simple template update. I'll look into it (and the other points you mentioned) tonight after work. I'll also update the menu to make it easier to find new content.

Rosalinda's Eyes - Billy Joel I've got a chance to make it It's time for me to take it And I'll return before the fire dies In Rosalinda's eyes

I was just listening to this yesterday. LOL.

Also, if there are any topics you would like to nominate for Featured Posts to put at the top of the forums on the main page, please post a link here.

*GASP!!* After a long, long time and many many weeks worth of backing up, installing, uninstalling, uploading, deleting, and trying several different new versions of the software, I THINK this one worked. I think this might just be a miracle. LOL. So, now that the forums are upgraded, I would like for all of you to notify me of any color weirdness (i.e. white text on white background, hard to read text, etc). You can post about it here in this thread and if possible, please include a screenshot. Also, if you run across any bugs, let me know. Posting images worked fine for me, but I know some of you had issues with that in the past. And I don't know about you, but I'm ecstatic for the HNet forums to be back to the dark color scheme. Feels like home.

The entire site is about 6-7GB, so the forum is definitely the biggest part of the site.

Between the software files, the image uploads, and the database, it runs about 3-4GB.

I am creating a new membership group for veteran members that will allow them special privileges, such as being able to upload larger images, adding attachments to PMs, and extending the window for editing posts to 60 minutes instead of just 10 minutes. To join this group, you will have to meet certain criteria, such as being a member for over 2 years or having more than 100 posts. In addition, you must request to join the group. It will not be automatic. I will post more information as I get ready to roll this feature out. So, veteran members of HazzardNet, are there any other perks you would like that I may be able to add to the Veteran member group? -Mufn

Ok. I'm going to give this another go! I'm in the process of backing up the forums right now and will be attempting an upgrade later tonight. The forums will be locked during the upgrade. If things don't go well, I'll be rolling everything back to the current state... like last time. *sigh*

Nice. Can't wait to see how this turns out. I love pinball.

Ooh! What kind of tablet?
