Upgrade this ANCIENT message board.
I know it takes manpower and its not cheap/free, but this is one of the most ancient vbulletion boards I visit. You are missing loads of features and bug fixes. At some point it would be nice to be able to paste in an image instead of the old school upload method. And a few reaction buttons to posts would be nice. Plus an ignore member feature that actually worked...
Its time to upgrade the board. This place looks/feels old and needs the new version. Its time... We are on Version 3.8.9 Beta 4, and they are up to 5.6.8. You are probably 50 versions behind. Its embarrassing. https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade Quote:

This site is quite a departure from VBulletin and has plenty of custom setups that you don't get in the new versions. I would rather do a completely different software rather than the newer VBulletin versions. I just discontinued two of the V5 cloud versions I had and never liked any of them better than this one.
If it isn't broke don't fix it is my opinion on this subject. |

ha ha... I'm sure he did. I actually used to chat with him quite often on in CA. He had an office down the hall from me.

I don't participate in many online forums, but I can tell this one is dated. That being said I do like the simplistic and familiar (retro?) layout.
It's like a cozy pair of pajama bottoms, or perhaps a better metaphor would be the seating position of my Camaro. Not perfect, but its mine and I'm so used to it that anything else would feel strange. My biggest complaint is that I just wish the front page was updated from time to time. |

As far as embedding videos... it's a simple copy link and paste... doesn't get any easier such as what other sites require with tags and all. One of the customizations here is it will auto tag it for you but you're not going to see that as a regular user. Here is a 2nd way to embed Videos that is part of this site but not the newer ones. |
