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.

If you are wanting to see it before a link gets put up then the following link will work
http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/se...&starteronly=1

You need to replace the userid with whoever you are after.

Thanks - but doesn't really help. I can't find anything that simply states 'All threads by...' like used to be available as a dropdown from any user name

I can't seem to give rep, it just moves the little report post icon up and down. And is there a site stats bit like there was on the last one?

does the smae to me, think its cos the rep window appear at the top of the page, but every time i scroll up for it i mouse over something else, opening rep in new tab (middle click usually) fixes it.

EDIT: is there a way to get quote notifications but not pm'd, like next to new posts in subscribed threads somehow? geting pm'd all the time isnt worth it.

Ahh this is so much better!

When using the skin 'The Dark Zone' the forums run like shite for me? Some bad code there somewhere?

Whoops! Just noticed the OP said it's not compatable with the new version, wonder why it re-enabled itself for me? Oh well...

Bring back find all posts - which you click should take you straight to the exact post.

Spank, slight issue with a thread in the social group .. each person who posts it gives the date 17 May 2008 guess its defaulting to start date of that thread ..
