What was the reason?

The old phpBB software couldn't handle how big the board had gotten. There was lots of downtime due to it.

There was also some mention of the fact that the owners of CAD also own vBulletin.;)

ok got it..........thanks...........;):rolleyes::D:cool:

Since CAD has become the best and most informative trucking forum on the internet for noobs, experienced, and old dogs like me.... Change is always good.... If want to see examples of over moderated, wishy-washy, nazi-ish, an politically motivated type trucking forums.... Just search for knitting club, twucknit, and truckers forum.....:D

;)
:D
:o
:)

The only issue with it is they are considered images and there is a 4-image limit per post.

Ok...did what you suggested TF, and got the smilies back. But you still needs to hammer out the avatar issue!! AND the issue of the software counting qouted" smilies" in a post!!!

Wow this is diffrent, gonna take some getting used too.
But why the change, what was wrong with the other, I think that is one thing that made CAD so diffrent.. But every thing has gotta change.. Just keep on Rollin with the Flow..

The avatar issue is being worked on, from what I heard. I agree that the software needs to stop counting characters and smilies. Although it does put a limit on the amount of smilies that golfhobo can put in a single post.:D

It would also be nice if the amount of smilies increased. I know the software is capable of it, and I'd love to see the original phpBB smilies come back. Especially the :roll: smiley. The little blue guy just doesn't cut it.

The old software was outdated. CAD was running on phpBB2, which the makers no longer support. I believe they were left with a choice of upgrading to phpBB3, or going with vBulletin. Since the owners of the site own vBulletin, it was a no-brainer.

There are additional smilies available (http://www.vbulletinsmileys.com/) however there seem to be a few issues that are more important, like some sort of security measures etc., etc., etc.. When the time comes I'm sure they will update the Smilies.
Until then, there are smilies available here: http://smileycons.com/home.html
