Announcing GWW Version 3.0

Following an upgrade to your GWW community forums earlier this afternoon we are pleased to announce the latest incarnation of Gay Wide Webmasters community forums, GWW V3.0

We have completely overhauled the GWW community forum script upgrading to the latest stable release from VBulletin 3.0.7

With this new script we have also decided to remove some of the old features but, we have also decided to allow a miriad of new features which will make your community experience on GWW much more enjoyable.

We are also aware that there are currently a couple of minor bugs awaiting a fix so please, we ask that you bear with us during this transition phase and, if you do find any bugs or, encounter any problems whilst using GWW V3.0 that you please post in this thread so we can keep a record of the issues that need to be addresses.

As of this moment in time, the new GWW community forums are again open for posting and we look forward to adding some new and exciting custom functions to GWW over the next few weeks.

Finally, Gary, our entire admin team and myself would like to thank each and everyone of you for making the GWW community the busiest gay market community in the industry, without your support we wouldnt be as large and, more importantly, as helpful an asset to the gay industry as we are, thank you to each and every one of our community members.

Regards,

Lee

this is too spread out & hard to read... look how much crap there is above my message ^^ before you even get to it... a whole inch or more of space just for my avatar & shit... the other format was much more organized & easy to read.... (.02)

Dale,

I agree, thats why changing the format of a post is going to be one of our top priorities :)

We're currently working on a couple of alternate layouts and we'll test them out over the next few days so everyone can have a say in which version they prefer.

My personal feelings are drawing me towards the older layout, as you quite elloquently put it, that fomat was MUCH more organized and easy to read :)

Lee

I agree with Dawgy...
It seems much more narrower (is that even a word...lol) and the type is smaller...and yes, not to mention that there is a lot of space on the tops of the post...

Well, some of the new layout isn't so bad...and I know you're changing stuff as I type...I'm looking forward to seeing the final results though, because I can see some pretty new kewl things too!

But oh please, don't make me have to get my reading glasses out...lol

I already have to use mine so hmmmm, do I feel sorry for u. - nahhhh :)

But I understand what you're saying - the text is a little smaller but my reading glass script just got adjusted so I suppose that could have something to do with why it looks no different to me:)

What are all these new (miriad?) of new features that you've implemented, Lee?

I see so many boards changing to the VB 3.0.X, but I'm still not sure why.
They're bigger and slower. Still haven't seen any concrete reasons why anyone would change to that version.

Unless of course you say... because I can. Well, that's different. :P

Hi Lee,

The new board is shaping up quite nicely. My only problem is that I cannot upload an avatar. The page is there but it does not actually allow someone to upload an image. Just thought you'd like to know. :gaydays:

Chris,

Once we've fixed all the bugs we'll post a list of the new features so everyone can get acquainted with them :)

Ooops, sorry bro. I didn't see this until today. I'm guessing since my ugly mug is up there that it's all fixed. But if you want a screen shot of anything else, just let me know. (okay, i'm leaving that wiiiiiiide open). :spook:

Hi,
I just want to ask - were I can edit the sentence which is shown
<-here
under the name of the profile (just over the avatar). Can't find it in profile's options.
The other thing that doesn't seem to work is tracking the private messages. I believe that if I sent a message I should have it in "Confirmed Private Message Receipts" or in "Unconfirmed Private Message Receipts". But there is at least one message, that doesn't appear in any of these two.
Please prv me if U need more information about it.
The rest of Ur scripts seems to work fine and I find it very modern and userfriendly.
Good work!

Editing

bregot,
I think that you can edit by left clicking on the avatar or you user name.
Also I saw you website and was wonder if you are sell photo sets. If you are do you provide lincesing for them and I would like to know how musch they are per set.
