Jake Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I was really hoping the change to VB3 and the switch to larger avatars would have marked the end of allowing images in signatures. If you can have a huge avatar space to express yourself in, why do you need to clog up the post stream with some huge animated gif from the matrix or something under everything you say?

El Sitherino Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Why have avatars when we can make posts to express ourselves? It's just fun little things people enjoy having. As long as people are courteous, I see no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 so then turn of the [ img ] tags in the sigs completely. That's what solved my problem... I've never been fond of sig line pics, but I know alot of others are. As long as we have the option to not have to view them, then to each their own... we get the best of both worlds gotta say though... the uber-size avatars are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrylic Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 The big avatars are cool, but I've always liked smaller sig pics and avs. But, I enjoy looking at big avatars. Just not having them myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 It's really good, but I will have to get used to it. The quick reply bit is really handy and the post numbers ect are cool too. But you have to get the speed up soon. One thing that I want to check about is that at the top of the screen there is the "Quick links" but when the options come down, half of them are blocked off by the ad. Can this be changed or removed or something? Also, the new subscription methods are cool. (I think they are new - got to try them out.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 I think it would be great for each user to choose between two themes in his control panel : One which is the new LucasForums ; The other one for the old appearance...

Thrik Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Sadly, not for vBulletin. None of the vb2 templates are even remotely compatible with vb3, so we had no choice but to completely redo everything from scratch. Whilst it would be a nice option for people to continue using the old style, it's really not feasible at all. Also, hopefully that's solved your problem a little, guybroom.

Kurgan Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I love it, but I wish I knew how to unsubscribe from these 66 pages of "subscribed threads" that have been logged onto my account. Apparently I've been subscribing to everything without realizing it, and now my inbox is being deluged with "reminders." Deleting them all by hand is a major pain... Any help?

ZBomber Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Change your e-mail address/add the suscription e-mail to the spam list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Just looked at the setup, looks like it's set to automatically subscribe newly registered users to threads that they've participated in, but not email them about it. I assume that somehow this carried across onto already registered users, and those that had "email me" enabled for subscribed threads will be getting bombarded. I've just disabled it. The quickest solution I see is to just go into your user control panel, go to "view all subscribed threads" which should be on the very first page, tick them all, then go to the "delete subscriptions" option in the dropdown menu at the bottom. You can alternatively go into your CP options and set it to "don't email me", then you'll just get links to the threads you've participated in in your CP.

That's all well and good, but no matter what I do, it refuses to display "all" of the 2,000+ subscribed thread checkboxes on one page, so I have to check them all, click delete, then go to the next page, check them all, delete, etc. There is no option to check ALL of them (just all on one page at a time). So it takes a long time... Whether you choose to delete these subscriptions or "do not email" on those subscriptions you can only do it "page by page."

Kurgan Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Nope. I can delete them page by page... not all at once. Once I've gotten through the last 47 pages I need to figure out how to disable that auto subscription thing (if it isn't already disabled as implied above). What I need is a way to display EVERYTHING at once, or else change how many threads are displayed per page... (it's currently displaying 50 per page, and I have 2,327 total!)

El Sitherino Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 http://www.lucasforums.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&daysprune=-1&folderid=all ^ view all subscriptions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Using &pp= in the URL should allow you to specify how many show up per page -- it does for me. I'm not sure what it maxes out at, but it certainly should be more than 50. I put &pp=5000 in the URL and it showed all 78 subscriptions on the one page for me. Hold on.. To disable it, you just need to go into your user cp's options section and turn off the notification option.. should be obvious enough once you go in there. I'm assuming when the data transferred it just set all new users to subscribe automatically, which is a pain. Here's a cue to disable it if you don't want it, guys.

Thrik Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Okay, all your subscriptions should be gone now, or at least most of them. Fortunately, vBulletin allows you to prune away a users' subscriptions en masse. If anybody else wants this, just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviathan Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Finally, I have to admit the new vBulletin's version is better than the old one... We just need a certain time of adaptation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybroom Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Hey! I just noticed, what happened to the bit under my name (above the arvitar)? It used to come up with 'Sith Lord' or something, but now it's black. The members with less posts have 'Registered user' and with over 1000 they've got the personalised one like always. But I want mine back!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leviathan Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Make a different theme for each forum isn't really easy... Moreover, I don't think JelSoft would appreciate to see its product - vBulletin - too much changed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
