I did Reb...I noticed most of the [IMG] codes are disabled. I agree with you on this one, for such a busy board it was very poor form on the admin's part not to give us some warning this was going to happen.

Tweety, you can stick up for the admin's all you like, but it seems they have ALL gone AWOL. There seems to be no protocols here at all except to make it look EXACTLY like "The Trucker's Report". As Reb has stated...there are 14,000+ members on this forum, seems to me they will likely lose the majority over this mess. It REALLY sucks to have to start everything over again, if we'd all had just a couple of days notice we could have at least saved stuff that was important & been prepared for & had some patience for some "glitches", but when you get ZERO notification something this drastic is going to happen, well it makes one wonder.... Just my 2 cents worth...if I did THIS to my customers...I wouldn't have them!

The vBulletin boards I've used have a lot of options and very few quirks- so, with time I'm sure, will this one. They do need to reset probably MOST of the default options but I imagine that if we hang in there, they'll get it right.

I'm sorry if I sound like a cheer leader for CAD. I don't mean to- but, again, I have a lot of compassion for admin's in a situation like this. I'm sure they're working on it.

And I don't mean to keep sounding like a bitch, but I find it hard to feel sorry for people who cause their own problems by making BAD decisions and NOT doing their homework. You don't take something this big LIVE without testing first. It's a whole lot easier to do something right the first time than it is to try and figure out what went wrong when it's already LIVE.

I don't think you sound like a bitch (apparently they haven't put in the word filters yet, either). I think you sound frustrated- and rightfully so.

Why would any admin ever want the default thread view to be alphabetical? It goes against how the mind works.

One good thing is the nesting of quotes is gone. No more moving quotes around to make it look normal. Although we now have to quote each person's post if we want them in a single reply.

Viewing the member list it looks like the import is still running, the populations keeps 'growing' as does thelist opof banned members.

[not tweety bird]

Here's a thought- maybe the reason admin is "hiding" is that they banned themselves, too.

[thetei]

you cant ban top admin...and the import takes all of 30sec...unless they are running it on a cell phone....
