    This trader must be pretty hard to outdo as far as optimism goes. Bike has been on the market for a year now, wonder when the penny will drop he''s dreaming at that price. You'd have thought after a year he might have got round to the little bit of tlc required to get running. ...

  • Kiwi Biker upgrade to vB4 Suite.

    Over 6 hours. That's gotta be the longest an upgrade has taken.

    This upgrade is a work in progress, as there is still much to do. I have modified the code for my Trader, Calendar, Event Attendance, Image Browser & Censor mods to work with the new software, but have still to do the following:

    Quote Notification
    avatar/profile pic censoring
    Profile Rep Stats
    Fallen Bikers page
    JavaChat Integration
    Force Style for Selected Users or Groups
    PM Reply to all
    Flame Warrior

    Mods awaiting an update
    Advanced Forum Statistics
    Social Group Calendars
    v3 Arcade
    vBTubePRO
    KB Spy
    Wiki single login


    The old Dark Zone style is not compatible with the new version. As soon as I find a dark style I like, I will add it to the site.

    All your images from Blogs, Social Groups, Albums and Posts are now in a central pool which is controlled via an enhanced attachment uploading window. You may need to enable it your settings.

    Image censoring has also changed. Now all iffy images need to be in a folder called "pr0n". You can have as many pr0n folders as you like anywhere in the folder tree. Again you may need to enable enhanced attachment uploading in your settings. So yes, you will now need to go through all your images and drag & drop all the naughty ones into a pr0n folder.

    Until I've sorted the Wiki single login, you will need to login to the Wiki seperatly using your KB login name. New Wiki accounts have also been disabled. If you have content to add to the Wiki and don't have a login, let me know.

    It will be several weeks before I've finished coding and sorting the new look.

    Anything not working as it should, let me know here.

      The new Dark theme is a hell of an improvement over the old one. Something similar for the Light side would be great cos the default is not all that user friendly.

      I'm not sure how it compares to the old one, but it's definitely better than the current LightZone for NIGHTIME use (I'm somewhat indifferent during the day). One comment I would make though is that the stripped background is a little hard on the eyes - particularly on a larger monitor.

      It would also seem that the Firefox built-in spellchecker fails to underline spelling errors UNLESS you use the "advanced" edit page.

      ok, im liking the dark zone better than the light [for a change!] i found the light, too light.

      edit: i also liked that the first few lines of a post would come up if we hovered the mouse over the box... now we have to hover over the title. very minor, yes i know. lol. just different.

      I don't like how sig starts where my info ends, it should be at the bottom of the post but not push it downwards. The fact that all the info is on the one side now makes worse still.
      Other than that all good.

      The only dictionary option is English (US), is there a UK or Oz or better still NZ version coming along? Oh and another vote for not liking the stripy background in dark universe. Other than that it just a learning experience

      In Opera, when clicking on "give rep" button, the pop up rep box appears on the very top of the page instead of on the post that you want to rep.


      Thanks Spank.

      Another thing - is it possible to have a big picture on the profile page, like before ? That was quite nice, as a picture was kind of the jewel of the profile page. It seems a bit dull currently with the small picture.

      thanks Spank.

      This is actually a real pain... I would often do quick checks on my mobile on specific threads, but logged in. I would mark the forums read as I finished them...

      Having all the threads disappear each time I close the mobile window would mean massive amounts of new posts missed.

      Otherwise... enjoy all the hard work... it keeps you out of mischief

      edit: Actually, one thing. I don't seem to be able to find the User CP page, only my profile page. I used the User CP page to get a quick summary of new pm, new rep, and a quick summary of my subscribed groups (without visiting each one). Have I missed it, or are there plans afoot to bring it back?

      'Settings', right at the top of the page.
