We are FINALLY done with the upgrade - let the bitching begin!

[underESTIMATED]

Again, I do apologize for the all of the delays, frustration with the cache of the login cookie, and anything else pertaining to the board itself.

I do feel that this new(er) verson of vBulletin will help give the old 4mation board, a better improvement in functionality, and now that the DB is clean(er) I know that it'll provide alot less issues and head-aches for the future.

Previous to the re-installation of this DB (same one as before), I offered a free username change for one-week (ending tomorrow 2.18.2010). I'm going to extend that for another week, ending 2.25.2010.

To further extend my sincere apology, everyone that sent me a PM, email, or hit me up on AIM (underESTIMATEDex) to make changes to their 4mation account, I will pass along a courtesy VIP-4mation 6 month package. Which will be revised in due-time.

Please let me know if there's any issues with your account, or if you wish to change your username, please send me a PM with your desired username.

Thanks,

Dave

One vast difference between this new style, and the old style vB, is the lack of easibility for changing themes.
However, I figured (knew) that would be one of the first things to be mentioned. I'll poke around to see what I can find easily, but will most likely change the CSS before I apply a "theme" style. As that hinders alot of the templates that are needed to make the overall site flow.

lol @ UPS.

Also, as far as bans...I've unbanned everyone that was ever banned (that I'm aware of).

That took 30 minutes, as it had to be done individually.

That means the iamletired groupies as well.

Everyone is welcomed, and welcomed back.

I can send out a mass email, regardless of their opt out settings.

Write up something backstage, and I'll get it out.

[underESTIMATED]

Upgraded everyone's account that stepped forward.

What stopped you in that purchase? Ap1's are dirt cheap these days, hell so are Ap2's starting to get there as well.

I actually just sold my AP2, the car just hasn't left my garage yet. Too much snow here, the car would never make it out of my driveway.

what do you mean backstage?

Admin/Mod area. ;)

[MysterySkittle]

what stopped me? well i was selling the srt to get the s2k and i was promised a purchase and pick up on a certain day...kid/family couldnt get a loan and some other BS so i had to cancel the s2k. Had a deposit on it too.

AND just to throw salt in my pissed off wounds, the kid bought an srt for about 2k above what i was asking for that week....from a dealer

in the end i sold the srt to go to school and finish a degree. smarter i think..one day i'll be cruising the s2k with a restored 66 slammed beetle in the garage

It's easier for a dealer to get a loan done, than a private loan. Even with at a higher price.

That sounds like a niiiiice combination of cars.

wtf?!?! we need a portal page! please?

I agree; working on it!

Site upgrade looks good.

Can we have a home page?

[SuperMario]

Yes, looks good, but standard. Need a new skin for sure. I doubt there are many developers with skins for VB4 yet though. Also need to get the fanbase back as well since you lost so many members when the site was down.

I agree, working on a solution for that as well.

Thanks for the compliment.
