ConCen

OK, ConCenners, it's happening really soon!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
You need to make sure that you have an account both on the forum AND tracker with the SAME name, password, and email address.

In the coming weeks, the tracker will use the forum to authenticate. If you don't have an account there of the same name, you won't be able to log in!

Next, we will be changing the forum software from Invision Power Board to myBB. This has been successfully tested and works fine. No posts or accounts will be lost.

Finally, I will be writing a tracker for the forum, and then moving the torrents over to it. Comments for the torrents will become a section of the forum.

Once this is complete, I will be able to add further goodies, since myBB is a far better code base than TorrentTrader ever could be, and I'm not locked into the nightmare of customising the proprietary code of IPB.

Sound good, or ... ?

Sounds great! It's finally here and I'm glad about that.
GO YETI!

Hopefully these days of redundant posting will come to an end ...

I'm looking forward to the release!

A few questions ..

1) Will there be a wiki style implementation of PHP myBB? I'd really like to see a way of cross referencing topics.
2) Are you considering internationalization?
3) Is there going to be an integrated chat/shoutbox?
4) Will it be SEO friendly to attract new users?
5) Are any modules from IPB being discontinued in the new setup?
6) Will blogs be more prominent?
7) Is there going to be tags for threads/posts (Thread Tags)?
8) Any social bookmarking mods?

I am trying to combine my 2 accounts. I have a different username (but same display name) on the forum than the one on the tracker, with the same email address. I've been looking everywhere for a place to change the username, but cannot find a way. Can you please tell me how I can do this?

BTW, I'm thrilled about this!

I think it's possible that this could be the best thing we've ever done. B)

I can't wait.


THANK YOU YETI... for doing this for everyone! :ok:

The login name needs to be changed by staff as it is what you registered with. The display name over here is changeable by you though. I'll do that for you in a little bit so you can see this and be prepared for the change.

What's the current status? Is yeti working on a mod for youtube embeds to work retroactively? Size BB code didn't transfer too well either do you plan on modding the parser? Overall the phase one changes went pretty good, thanks yeti!
