VGC: From phpBB to MyBB - Complete!

Posted by: †Michael Valentine† - 02-06-2010 11:23 PM - Replies (10)

Hello Users!

I'm sure you have noticed there has been a dramatic change on VGC's home forums. And indeed, there has been quite a mighty one.

VGC has successfully converted from phpBB to MyBB! (thanks to Evil Eye)

In other words, we have converted our Forum Software.

phpBB was quite an annoying system to get things done around this forum. Installing mods on it took 15 min or more, simple theme edits had to take place within the depths of our servers, and it wasn't equipped with the largest essentials a forum would need.

MyBB has this. And we can install mods easily in under a minute. Along with the fact that it's easy to make theme and style edits. And as such, we felt the switch was the best way to help us and help serve you as the users.

Passwords, and posts have all been retained. And additionally, we have been able to easily remove the more unprofessional elements of VGC (using a forum to display affiliates, using redirect forums to get to other sections of the site, etc)

Anything that you could access via the redirect forums that were once here, can now be accessed via the forum navigation bar.

--------------------------------------------------------------

You may experience a few bugs at the start. These aren't really a problem though.

*You may login only to be seemingly kicked out
-Soultion: This is a bug that comes with being logged into phpBB at the time of the switch. To fix this, simply log-in, and if it seems that you never even logged in, simply click VGC's banner.

*Unfortunately, Avatars that were too large in size for the default MyBB (which has now been remedied) were removed. Simply re-upload an avatar of your choice.

*Some BBCodes may be messed up since MyBB's BBCodes and phpBB's BBCodes aren't the same. Posts that used phpBB BBCodes in the past will not be remedied, but you can easily amend your signatures to MyBB's BBCodes.

*When you first login, you'll likely be displayed as hidden (you'll know this if it displays a * next to your name on the "Who's Online" statistic on the index page) You'll have to remedy this via the User Control Panel.

Any others, please report to me, here.
