Alright, first off I've got to tell you I love you all, and thanks for having so much interest in this site. Secondly, I hope you've noticed we've been having server problems, which has been bothering me. I've been looking into Zetaboards recently, and it seems a fair prospect. Should we Opt in to get converted we'll have to wait a while, but it'll be worth it. A conversion won't lose us any of out posts or characters, the accounts will be converted. There are also more options for Zetaboards. If you''d like to test it out, I've made a skinning site you can try out stuff on. HERE So I'd like to know, are you up to it. You won't really miss a beat, I'll send out a mass e-mail and the Invisionfree site will link to the new server indefinitely. |

We should move if its more reliable, though I do think your coding and whatnot was lovely on this website, and from the Zetaboard that I did look at, this board looked better. |

Yeah, I have to say I really like the way this one looks, so I'd be reluctant to change that...But if the site is going wind up being slow, or completely inaccesible like it was for me a few days ago, then it would probably be worth changing I guess. What are the different options on Zetaboards? ...bear in mind you're talking to someone who knows less than nothing about coding...

Keep in min.. the both of you, that I haven't even done anything with that site aside from changing the background color. What you're seeing there is the original skin. I have a skin design for it that I'm working on, so have patience, and you'll see it'll hopefully look better. As for things that you'll get, I have a list from their support site... I'll bold the ones I think you'd like. * Collapsable categories. * Color key for online user list. * Topic/Post search. * Advanced Account Security page. * New PM system which groups back and forth messages into a single PM conversation. * New style for PM pop-up. * Markers for topics that you have posted in. * Online status of a user is listed in their posts and profile. * View a single post page. * A topic starter can edit topic title if the post can be edited. * List of all posts made by a member. (Because I find that extremely useful.) * Name history for a member. * Ignore posts by a member. * Enhanced avatar gallery. * New bbcode tags: indent, spoiler, text border color, and text background color. (it'd help a lot with the post coding, and for those you you who use list and end up with div tags hen you edit, that'll be gone hopefully.) * Improved support for embedding videos from YouTube. * Joinable groups * Blogs * Custom profile fields * Enhanced portal * Theme (Skin) selector (I know some of you don't always have this skin coming out right. Not only that but I'll be able to have a number of skins you can shift through, be able to keep old skins for people who liked them, and be able to have both dark and light skins for people who may need those due to eye problems) * Easy system to request a name change (With the amount of people joining and forgetting the name rule, even when it's underlined and bolded, this'll help me.) As for me and the mods (there are more but I have to cut it down): * Multiple custom themes. * Trash can (alternative to deleting posts). * Inline moderation. Moderate multiple topics or posts from within the regular board. No need to visit a separate Mod CP. * Moderators can hide topics/posts. * Name history for a member. * Unlimited levels of subforums (previously on InvisionFree you could only have a single level). * Enhanced handling of topic titles written in all capital letters. * Easy system to allow and process name change requests. * Customizable registration rules. * Option to disable any bbcode tag without having to disable the whole bbcode system. * Relative times: dates can be displayed as Today and Yesterday. * Website maker: create your own HTML pages to go with your board. Good for setting up a custom chat room or arcade. * New systems for managing forums, managing forum moderators, and re-ordering forums. * Categorized admin logs for quick & easy lookup of past admin actions. * AutoTools (MultiMods) can now add a prefix/suffix to topic descriptions and can be put into categories for easy use. * Member AutoTools: a MultiMod for member accounts. Can remove the signature, avatar, or member title of a member as well as place the member in a moderator queue, disable the use of the PM/Email system, or adjust a postcount. It can also move the member to a new group and send the member a PM. * Admin Assistants: admin accounts that have a special subset of a abilities. Includes Member Managers, Theme Managers, Domain Managers, Website Managers. * Toggle the Admin CP menu to show all sections or just the area you are working in. * Improved Board directory with more categories and better ranking accuracy and qualities. * Show/Hide list of moderators for each forum. * Allow or prohibit anonymous logins. * Allow guests that have a banned IP Address to register with admin approval. * Adjustable maximum title length on topics. * Option to place the poster's information/avatar on the left or right side of the post. Anyway... You look through that and keep in mind that I gave you the site to try out the posts and such and not the skin. |
