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.

Help greatly appreciated thanks.

See post 1 - Spank is working on it.

I'm starting to think it is only the dark zone, and only at certain times. If I change back to the light universe it seems to come right.

Yes, I did read that, just making sure I hadn't missed anything obvious. Don't want to offend anybody at all.

Thank you.

I know the site is being modified as we all use it, but is anyone else's running heaps slower than normal? it takes forever to load things, you gotta click twice to give rep, moving from here to settings or anywhere, seems to take forever.

Well I like the new site, once you get use to driving it, so to speak.

Hi Spank - are we going to be able to minimise the Rep and Infraction list in User CP?

Ok so the recent activity Widget does not show "Recent Activity" according to some of the ones on there the last update on the thread was yesterday.....and I know I put a post on a thread so that should have shown up on it.Not sure if someone has already addressed this issue as everytime I click on this thread it starts at the begining rather than the last post I read (Is that me stuffing up 2)

That widget shows the most replied to threads in the last 24 hours.

Ok I can cope with that. So you quoted me right. I have my setting that I get a PM when I get quoted. The PM came through saying "to see the thread quoted click HERE"

I clicked the HERE but it couldnt bring this thread up. Why?

Hold up! It sent the message twice- on the first PM the link didnt work but was sweet on the second one....

Cheers

Yes to all the above, except the double-click rep. I have to right click, then open!

Hi Spank, really digging the new look and changes.

My only bug so far is when using the dark universe I can't see any of the letters when typing into fields such as the forum search or thread search etc, the font is white or an extremely light grey on a white background, no good man.
