New Site Questions / Help
Well, as much as we hope software changes go as smoothly as possible, we can only test out so much, and we will (and have) miss things. So, as you come across issues, let me know by replying to this thread and I will update the ORIGINAL POST (yeah, this one) with the answers. That way, people can open this post and get answers right away instead of reading through everything and looking (and usually missing) the answer. Luckily, I had a couple people come online right as the site came back up, so I already have a couple issues fixed and a couple answers to other issues. So here we go...
Avatars: I already posted a thread about this, but then I decided to make this thread also. Anyway, if you want your old avatar back, and you don't have it on your computer already, send me a PM and I will get it back up for you, or at least send you a link to the file for you to put back online.
Thread History: This probably would mostly affect searching, although some browsing might be affected as well. The site default for viewing threads is like 2 weeks. Anything after that will not show up. To fix this, follow the following instructions... Goto USER CP-->EDIT OPTIONS-->THREAD DISPLAY OPTIONS-->DEFAULT THREAD AGE CUTOFF, and then select to whatever you want it to be (I have "display all" selected).
Attachments: Depending on the size, quantity, etc of image attachements, they may only show up as links to the actual image instead of showing the image. This one just got brought up, so I am about to start researching how to make it different. UPDATE: Ok, attachments will now show up as thumbnails. To view the full size image, just click on the thumbnail.
More Profile Settings: Basically, just go through your profile and update everything. That's the easiest way to put it. Things like your birthday (please at least put the day and month), time zone, PM notifications, etc...
Home Page: If you liked the "home page" look of the site, it still exists at http://www.60degreev6.com/index2.php Ben doesn't like the home page thing and would rather have it open straight to the forums, so that's what it does. I was trying to get the Recent Posts block to show up on the forums in the left column, but I haven't been able to get it working yet. But I know some people liked that feature. UPDATE Ok, I have the Recent Threads working on the left column now.
Garage & Gallery: Yes, the garage sucks right now. I'm sorry about that. We are trying to find a module that is closer to what we had before, but it seems like it just doesn't exist. I have found a Dodge forum that has one, but contacting them hasn't been successful. I will continue to work to try to restore something similar. As far as the Gallery, I need to do some work to get it working like it used to. There is a very nice integrated gallery out there, but its $120 and we don't have the funds to do that right now, although we would like to add it in the future.
