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.

Ah, had found that - it's just that the 'old' way gave you all of the 'new' settings - pkus suscribed threads, all in one hit.

At the moment it shows no new suscribed threads - even though threads such as this one are new since the upgrade.

EDIT: Just had a look and it has now shown one newly suscribed thread...

I can't see if anybody has posted this because search doesn't work, but search doesn't work.

Well, if it wasn't before, it sure is now. Unless you're just a browser.

Is it just me and my comp, or you also? I find the site is very slow to respond and PM messages are now difficult etc etc attachments are difficult bla bla

Maybe it is my comp?

possibly is your computer, the new site seems a bit more cpu hungry

Quite possibly your computer or some of the settings. The new version is heaps faster than the old for me.

Site was rebuilding the search index, but it finished just before 7. Will be kicking off the second part later.

flyingcr250 - 5th January 2010, 20:14

Mrs Cowboyz - 5th January 2010, 20:17
not just you...every now and again will take ages for a thread to load or for my post to be posted!

Just wondering how to make my avatar worksafe. I had an avatar that was marked work safe in the old site, but it appears not to have kept this setting when the site was upgraded. I have changed it so as not to offend anybody, but I cannot find the nudity check box anywhere.

Help greatly appreciated thanks.
