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.

I've just noticed that the boy/girlie symbols aren't there.

Or is it just that I can't see them like half the other stuff on the page on my win98/ie6 machine in the garage?

Or you could try turning off the advanced uploader. I've noticed that Opera can't create folders because the right click pull down menu doesn't work.

Thank you SpankMe.

Was there? Had a look on the old forum, couldn't find it.

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this. I personally like the new look and am having fun finding where all the buttons are LOL how sad is my life. I've searched other threads and realise there is a cost to KB. How can I contribute, "Spread the load" as my last girlfriend said (she did add 'fat arse' to that )

yes, it was a drop in menu in the bottom left corner under all meetings and events threads.

Thanks SpankMe

The new dark theme is a big improvement.

PrincessBandit - 4th January 2010, 07:39
Must say I'm liking this more and more - each day I log in there are more and more improvements.
I am now one of the converted and also wish to add my thanks to SpankMe for all the works he's done to improve and upgrade the site.

Sure, there will still be wrinkles for a time to come, and things we can't find straight away, but it's definitely grown on me!

Interesting! I made this query yesterday from work, and I could see no date/time for any post. I got home last evening and sure enough there they are on the top left. I'm now back at work, and no sign of date/time again. In fact nothing on that blue line except the post number.

The more I use, the new KB , the more I like it. Many thanks to Spank-Me for all the hard work, Time and Money that he is putting in.

Thank You.
