How to go live?

[GoldieP]

I've been setting up our forum on a test server, and it's just about ready to go live. I need to know what to do to move (copy) to the production server.

We're working with 2 entirely different...

I don't know, but I think you might get a faster reply if you post this question in the vBulletin 4.0 forum, rather than the version 3.8 forum. Just a thought. Good luck!

[GoldieP]

I don't know whether you can still buy version 3.8. Hopefully somebody who knows more than I do will see your post and answer soon.

On your second question about adding a second license...

[GoldieP]

That did it. It's fixed. Thank you!

I just created a poll on my board for the first time. I was surprised to find it at the very bottom of the thread. Not just after all the posts, but after the Display Options and Posting Rules and everything....

I'm new to this, and don't want to mess up my site that's working to try this, so I don't know that this will work. But I think this is what you need to do:

1. On the admincp, in the left-hand...

I ended up creating a support ticket for this question, and after some back-and-forth e-mails the official answer was that what I wanted to do was not possible without custom coding.

But...

Thanks loads!

[GoldieP]

Thanks!

Just in case anybody else is looking for this information, I actually needed to modify the USERCP_SHELL template.

But Dodgeboard's suggestion pointed me in the right...

[GoldieP]

Thanks! That was what I needed.

My board includes a number of user groups. Each user group has its own forum. Only members of User Group A can see User Group Forum A, only members of User Group B can see User Group Forum B, etc....

Do you mean your members can't upload images to your server, or they can't upload them to ANY server?

If they can't get to any server, then I have no ideas for you. But I'm an active member...

[GoldieP]

I would like to upload a group of generic avatars for my board's members to use. Is there a place where I could get such pictures, free or low cost?

Thanks!

[GoldieP]

I need to make it as easy as possible for users to join user groups, so I'd like to move the button to do that higher on the list.

Specifically, in the User CP page, under Your Control Panel...

Technically, this is a post-sales question, but it's about a pre-sales topic, so I hope this is the correct place to ask it.

Several weeks ago when I was researching what forum platform...

[GoldieP]

I don't mean to seem impatient, but it's been a couple days and my post had slipped down to page 6, and I'm still looking for help with this. Any guidance, please?

Thanks!

[GoldieP]

I have no idea how to do this. But from a question posted by another member who wants to modify that bar, it sounds like his (or maybe her) forum has what you want. Maybe they would know what you need...

[GoldieP]

I'm trying to put modify my board to use two navigation bars, one at the top and one at the bottom of the screen. Once that's working, I'll modify the top one to include only the most commonly used options,...

[GoldieP]

I see that there is an option in the admincp to upload a group of avatars.

Is there some place where I can get a group of generic avatars that I could upload so my users could use them?...

[GoldieP]

I don't know whether banning a single smiley is possible or not, but I'm intrigued by the fact that you want to.

Do you allow posts like "I agree!" or "Not sure about this"?...
