Hey guys,
We're trying to make the crossover as seamless as possible, but when 300 people try to log in at once, it is a bit hard. Reply with any problems you encounter. Please keep this free of any chatting or complaints or anything, just things happening that shouldn't be happening. If you aren't sure if it applies, just post it. Feel free to PM me with anything very necessary as well.

As for post counts, I think I've figured it out. The number each person has is the number of threads they posted in on old NFLDC, I think.

These problems will eventually be forgotten about I guess, I'm fine with the new boards but considering I spent nearly 1.5 years at the old boards; it's taken some time to get used to. I wish I had the post total back though ;)
This is really confusing, but I don't care, because my post count is higher than most of the vets. Everyone's got lowered, but mine only got lowered a few hundred :D.

You can change that. Go to User CP > Edit Options and scroll down to Date & Time Options.
I think the signature thing can be fixed by an Admin adjusting the permissions so that everyone can use [IMG] to get images into their sigs.

The post count is probably the posts in threads the got switched to the new board. So everything that was pruned doesn't count.

That's better than the randomness we have now. I was #8 (or was it 9) on the all-time post list, and now I have 500 . . . and I am seeing guys who've been here for a month or two with twice the post count I have . . .

Didn't anyone plan for this? I think if asked, most people would prefer to have kept things the way they were if it meant losing post counts and things of that nature.

Nice job moving to vBulletin! The best forum software out there. Once you guys find a skin you can do so much more with this. You can add post icons, news feeds, subforums, and much more.

I agree with this. I mean people should start fresh. This is just insane having guys from 2000 to 200(Me and some others) and guys with 1000 going to 500 because of them being newer and having more posts in the un pruned things. Either way works though

Do not delete post counts, then all the work and time spent on this site you know have nothing to prove it with, my post count is about 5600 off, i have no avater, or sig, the new design sucks and the complexity sucks. There was no problems with the old design and now this sh*ty new design messes everything up.

I agree with you that we should all start at 0, that is unless they could get the originals back. Guys that have been here for a few months have a lot more than me even though I normally have about 4000 more than them.

Post count is not a problem, it's a complaint. A problem is that your account doesn't exist anymore. "This forum sucks now" is not a problem, it's a complaint. There is no complaint thread, keep it to yourself.

Oh it will be a problem with many. I wasnt big on post count but, it does kinda suck.
I agree... I usually don't think much of it, but it does give members like a seniority thing.
I really think the best thing to do to stop all this post count talk would have everyone start at zero and work their way back up again.

So says the guy who didn't have many..
True. I only had 400 something posts. But I believe in quality not quantity. Just start doing what you post count junkies do best and drop a bunch of single-smilie replies or the forum favorite "QFT" as a reply. You'll be back to 10,000 posts in no time.

There were several with high post counts that had quality responses, and Shiver was one of them. I agree with some of the others that just dropping everyone to 0 might be best.

I personally don't care. However; to characterize all of the people with high post count as people who don't post substantially is moronic. I could see why some would mind.

DG and Toonster each had the highest amount of posts, and theyre both quality posters who are greatly respected. I think that GB's conclusion isnt very well thought-out.

There needs to be some sort of ranking. Post count isn't what's important. It's a combination of a lot of things. Quality of posts (reputation on these boards), Joined Date, Total Number of Posts, Forum Involvement . . .
Some sort of system can probably be devised. It's not the number of posts that the longtime vets are concerned with, its the reputation. People understood that you generally knew what you were talking about based off your post count (with few exceptions).

Well, users who have been here for longer than a couple of months pretty much know which posters contribute. I am sure their rep points will go up if they continue to make quality posts.

The people who most the most from this point on are the one's that will get the rep points though. It's all gonna be based off what people do now, rather than in the past months and years (2+ for me) past.

Go to user CP and scroll all the way down, you'll see what comments got you reps, but you wont know the user unless they told you in the comment box when you give someone reps, and you dont know who gave the other poster his reps unless you gave him rep or you have mod powers (I am guessing), so really you dont know who gave you reps unless they tell you and even then they might be lying.

I have an issue with the way the forum does quotes. I tried to quote a message in a post, and it wouldn't include the "quote of a quote" with it. I had to go back and multi-quote it. Mildly inconvenient, but it would be nice if we could quote all prior posts, including their quotes...

i don't know enough about safari, unfortunately...
"It is resolved by enabling the option for Secure Web Proxy (HTTPS) and entering secure proxy server name and port provided by ISP under network setting." - this has apparently resolved other similar issues, though i've no idea how or why.

just wanted to point out if you go back into older threads the multi-quote is still there so obviously it is possible to code it somehow.
there's a multi-quote button right next to the quote button. it says multi-qupote if you hover on it and it has a "+ image on it.
can i suggest that, in the future, rather than not finding something in the exact same place it used to be, people spend 20 ******s trying to find it before they complain about it not-existing?
