Ok, so turns out I got scammed on the VBulletin licence about a year and a half ago and only just found out. Shin chipped in and we bought an IPB licence which is fully ours (confirmed by Invision) so no more mess like this.

I've done all the conversion over from VBB to IPB and got most of it done. It's got a nice new theme which has things done properly unlike the theme of the old one which was a bit broken :| I've added a poll to this thread. Want to know which Recent Topics block to use. They are both enabled now, but in a few days I'll disable oneand stick with whichever people prefer. Refer to post #9 there is now a way to pick between top/right latest topics and also if you want the animated header or not.

During the conversion people may have lost profile details, signatures and avatars. So feel free to go and put those back in.

I've got tapatalk installed again for anyone that uses it. But there is a mobile theme available for those that don't want full forum and use a mobile.

Any suggestions/bugs/crap post here and I'll take a look at it.

Will looking at the quote template later on so it's not all bright and horrible.

Change the top moving animation please to something else .. maybe static? (less sparkle?)

[Lobotomy Lobster]

NOT MY SPACE ANIMATION. I am disappointed to see that I am the only person who likes it on the right

I voted right as well. I'm just a fool for classic forums.

Ok, spent a bit of time looking round IPB and how it does stuff. Made some template edits, added some custom bits 'n' pieces and i've come up with this:

 ipb_settings1.PNG   87K   15 downloads
 ipb_settings2.PNG   26.72K   9 downloads

Basically. Edit your profile, go to the bottom and you can enable/disable the animated header and pick between the left and right recent topics.

Keep in mind though that the right hand one is "Recent Topics" and the top one is "Recent Posts". Topics will not be updated if someone replies to a post, only when a new topic is made. Prolly be able to fix this to posts instead though.

[Rymdkejsaren]

Ah, then I guess I want the top one anyway.

[mosi]

I'll work on trying to make it posts instead of topics.

[edit]
done but it's not as nice looking and still seems kinda b0rked :/

[Lobotomy Lobster]

[mosi]

Tapatalk should be installed, unless i had to config it too. The server part of it is free, client is not. Will double check settings stuff now.

[edit]

haha was quite funny reading all the posts from the guy who owns the license. at first it just seemed he was making it up with the standard "i got hacked" story. kept me amused for an hour.

[Shinobi]
