*help Support Talksox Changes*

[yeszir]

Members of talksox nation (I didnt really know how to begin this...), soon, Talksox will be implementing numerous changes in order to make posting here easier and more fun for its members.

 

We will be making a change from invisionboad 1.3 to Vbulletin 3.0.3, a more up to date and high tech forum software. All information currently in the database will be moved to the new forum, so you need not worry about your post counts, usernames, or passwords. We will do our best to maintain the look and feel of talksox, and most of the upgrades will take place under the surface (but they will still be beneficial for us all).

 

The downside to all of this is the money. While we'd love to claim that the money made off of the adertisements on the forum is enough to buy all the software we want as well as our own private yacht, this is unfortunately not the case. We will be able to cover some, but not all of the cost with our advertising revenue.

 

The vbulletin software costs $160, and we may also need to spend extra money for a new skin for the forum and a conversion from this software to the next. This could run us up to $220.

 

This is the part where those willing to help comes in. Any money raised by our members towards this goal would be greatly appreciated. It is certainly not key (if no one donates the upgrades will still take place), but it would be appreciated. To make a donation (however small, everything helps), please use the paypal link at the bottom of every page of this site. If you plan on using a credit card through paypal, please pm yeszir for the credit card enabled paypal address.

 

Expect to see these upgrades soon. Hopefully nothing will be messed up in the process, and we'll all benefit from a thoroughly improved message board.

Will there be an ignore list with the new software?

[RedSoxRooter]

Why don't you just sell Official Talksox Nation ID cards?

 

Yes, we need the ignore option.

There is an ignore option in invisionboard. Its on usercp, then click the thing that says ignore list on the left hand column.

Can we incorporate an IQ test into the registration process?

No, but they will lead to easier moderator controls, and therefore faster dealing with those who would fail that IQ test.
