vBulletin 4.0 Pre-purchase

[Ralle]

The Hive Workshop has just ordered vBulletin 4.0 which is the next release of our forum software which hopefully has significant performance improvements.
When it comes out it will take quite a while to port all our custom pages to the new system but it will happen.

See you around,

Ralle

 

[Reaper2008]

So the Hive may be down for a while?

No problem, plus faster browsing is great.

 

[Darkgamma]

The Hive won't be down for a while, it will be down für quite some time.

 

[Rui]

How much will this cost? I don't really like to know we're paying with no guaranteed improvements.
Hopefully they'll bring new features. Social groups and visitor messages were good ideas, they only needed improvements.

 

[AIagremm]

Hope that the update will be short and good. I fear there will be lots of bugs, however I do believe, the site will become better.

Keep on the good work Ralle!

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh nice!Cant wait^^

 

[Pyritie]

How much will this cost? I don't really like to know we're paying with no guaranteed improvements.

Free, it looks like.

 

[Rui]

Oh. Ralle said «purchase», so I thought he would have to pay for the upgrade.

 

[Pyritie]

Oh.

Maybe our license expired then. :0

 

[Vosty]

That is a crapload of features.
It's good the hive is getting bigger, while the warcrat community gets smaller.

 

[Oziris]

I'm not really a pro at these stuff but i think it isn't free:

Who says we're using the publishing suite?

 

[Oziris]

Well, don't listen to me. I'm a noob when it comes too these stuff.

 

[LordDz]

Perhaps that?

 

[reason 3]

So...Hive's software is the free one?Or the purchased one?

 

[Kercyn]

vBulletin is not free, but since THW already has a licence, it is eligible of the free upgrade.

 

[Wraithling]

Well, with all that said, perhaps the next question would be something on the lines of... 'for how long will THW be down?'

 

[Vengeancekael]

hmm lets just say.....1-2 days.

 

[LordDz]

Let's see how many threads that will create.. Boi I remember when steam was down.

"I and my cousin met this day to play garrysmod, and now we couldn't boho"

 

[Vengeancekael]

I didnt know steam could go down-.-

 

[Dr. Boom]

Seas =)

Hive don't need this update...

What the effect? - hive is good - hive is fast - everyone loves hive. Hive got the best smilies - hive is always up-to-date - hive has everything for everything and everyone - everyone knows hive - and I have my Peon Power! Icon - so Hive is 100% perfect! =)

========
For real - I hope hive only offline for 3 - 4 hours - I can't life without hive

 

[reason 3]

I'd like to agree with Dr. Boom,hive's best modding site ever

 

[Kercyn]

Even better than YahooAnswers dot com.
On topic, I couldn't find a changelog :/

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

Will it give us another theme? No? Well, shite.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Yeah i agree with Will, a new theme would be nice.

 

[Kercyn]

Nooooooooooo! No way! I luv dis theme! But, if we can keep this theme in 4.0, then I don't really care

 

[LordDz]

I didnt know steam could go down-.-

Their servers sure can/they can release buggy code.

 

[Mr. Bob]

New theme....lol.....

Anyway, how long of a downtime are we talkin' here? Only a week or so, yes? Because, a 6 month downtime is hardly worth a few updates.

Call me a conservative man (which I am), but there have been so many crappy changes lately! D: Especially, the new communist icon system. Now I can't tell if someone is just a chat mod, or an admin. I have to actually click on their profile. O:

Anyway, as long as the Hive will be back in time for my new medieval model pack to get finished. On that note, if we do end up getting a new update, a good new pack system would be very helpful. Otherwise, when people like me want to upload a 20 model pack, we have to upload one after the other and wait for the lazy mods to approve them. And when they do, each mod tends to have a massive differential in the way they moderate, therefore one mod may say "MY CRAPPY COMPUTER CAN'T HANDLE IT!" while another says "MOAR POLIES PLX!"

A nice clean new pack system would be very helpful. Just make the minimum model count 10 or so. Then, only allow it to some modelers. That way, it won't get spammed up with a bunch of crap that is well...crap.

Now, after pumping out so many juicy ideas, I shall retire to the comfortable confines of my lush and warm bed.

Lol you've got alot of dreamsXD

 

[Mr. Bob]

Lol you've got alot of dreamsXD

XD But seriously though, a new pack system would be awesome. The current one isn't really a pack system. Ok well yeah technically by definition it is, but still. It is rather simple.

 

[General_Anon]

Oh, this looks like so much fun. Not only are all the products Not gonna work, but we (Ralle) have to rewrite all the portals.
I'll spare my thought about the actual forum software itself, because I think Jelsoft is trying to put themselves out of business with it...

 

[Anman64]

They're doing it wrong if they have a day of downtime. They most likely will make all the changes on a local server then upload the new files and db changes.

The downtime shouldn't be more than an hour, though it really depends on upload speed and size of uploaded files.

 

[Ralle]

Our license lasts till July so I bought the 'deluxe' owned license upgrade.

And my plan is to make it a seamless upgrade. I will set everything up on a different server and start porting things and make sure everything works.

That is my plan

 

[Vosty]

Great! When do we go down?
EDIT: 600 posts! (I know who cares, but I do....)

 

[Ralle]

When they release it. I don't know when that is.
I will be setting up a clone of THW to work out all the quirks

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh thank god!

 

[Vosty]

So we have no idea.
Fine with me! Knowing things is overrated.

 

[Narrat0r]

This Hive is already beautiful enough, does this mean new design?

 

[The Dark Wizard]

Grats on the new vBulletin 4 Ralle. Tell me how it goes. Me and ghan are currently playing around with the new Invision Power Board 3(Its pretty nifty so far)

 

[NOSAKIAS]

Yes he is greek,but this is not the place for you to ask.
You should either try Private Message,or a Visitor message.


Don't forget to read the rules before you register to a new forum,cause you are not allowed to post in greek here...just english.

Ela to 3eftilises...

 

[The_Dead_Fight]

i don't think vBulletin 4 is good.

(vB 4 will be release at end of november, is it right ?)
