Site upgrade Vote.

[Admin]

Hi everyone Vbulletin, the software the site runs on has come out with a major upgrade. I have upgraded the BC Riders site so you all can have a look. It will add alot of features to the site but will totally change the look.

Have a look and vote.. here are a few sites running the new software

BC Riders Online Community

Aussie Riders Forum

I like it.

It looks *nice to an extent, but I'm having a lot of trouble trying to set up my iPhone with vBulletin Mobile for that forum - so far with no result. a lack of mobile use will be a deal breaker for a good percentage of posters, and I wouldn't be surprised if activity were reduced at least 25-50% unless we can guarantee mobile compatibility at swap-over. I know I'm not a perfect sample of a mobile user, but I would go from as many as 20 log ins a days, to as few as one every couple of days.

Looks good, I like. :thumbup:

How much?

Will it make your job easier?

and most importantly, WTF did the Aussies get their own forum? :BLAA:

I like the layout but I'm not keen on the orange text.
I use Nokia mobile and taptalk is compatible. However I have never got the point of using it. It's slow and still directs me to the main site and page download are still the same Mb size.
I can log in through Google with less hassle.

300 USD to upgrade the existing software per site.. Plus the many hours to ugrade the current database

I will be the same amount of work but has alot of better features and will be a bit easier on the server in regards to loads ect..

Sounds good.

Will that include upgrades on the Chat, Garage, and Photo Gallery? Not a big fan of the way the Photo Gallery is sorting Member's galleries. It was way better before the server crash a year or two ago.

If you decide to go ahead with it let us know. I would contribute some moola to it. :rockon:

I say go for the upgrade. Just as long as we can keep the same functionality as this site has now. Definately like the look of the new version

Paid for app?

The look isn't really that radically different, so yeah why not, go for it.

I voted for upgrade.

The new design is cleaner. The blue theme gives me a "PostNuke ala 2002, but with rounded corners" feeling, but with a positive vibe.

Themes with too much gradients are visually not very pleasing for me, so solid colors is my preference.

Upgrade or no upgrade I would love a mobile view and improvements to the photo gallery.....

 

[Wolfman]

I have found the upgrade much quicker, and much better for lots of things, like loading photo's, etc....

Do It Dennis, Do it!

 

[ELIZABETH]

It sounds like a good idea, if you are up for the work it entails. If you decide to do it, count me in for a donation to it as well.
(And thanks for asking!)
