  1. It's funny though, because I am a bit of a treehugger.
  2. vBulletin as a company has really changed though in the last few years. There are loads of unhappy folks on the vB.c forums. And things aren't looking up, at least in my opinion. I've been debating switching to IPB since vB4 came out, but I've been holding off hoping that things would get better.

    M.C.A. R.i.p...

    Bummer. Godspeed.
  4. Okay, so we have a decision to make folks. I'm still not 100% happy with the vBulletin 4 software and the progress they've made in fixing things. Add to that a few modifications we use aren't compatible with vB4, and won't be. So, I've been looking at Invision Power Board again. IPB is a pretty sweet piece of software, used by companies like O'Reilly, NASA, Intuit, NBC, NHL, etc for their forums. They have their own mobile app that seems to really kick the shit out of vBulletin's. http://www.invisionpower.com/suite/mobile.php There are two options with their app. You can buy the IP branded app for $1.99 in the Apple App Store. It will be the same in the Android App Store soon. It works like Forumrunner and the others where you can add multiple sites (but they have to be IPB sites). It functions like a full app should. Or, you can buy a "white label" app. Only difference is it's skinned/branded to match the site and only works with that site. I honestly don't care about that. For us to move to IPB would cost about $310, which is about how much we've raised for this mobile project. Since you all donated this money for a mobile app, I want you to make the decision what we should do. Should we continue as planned; upgrade to vB4, buy vB's mobile apps for iOS and Android, wait a few months for development/app store approvals, etc? Or should we look into migrating the site to IPB and use their $1.99 app that pretty much rocks? It even supports notifications, something the vB app does not. Even IPB's mobile style is better. Check it out by visiting the link below from your mobile device. This would be a huge change. IPB's forums: http://community.invisionpower.com/ A couple things I'm really liking about IPB: - Calendar supports iCal, so you can easily sync it with your desktop calendar, web calendar, smart phone, etc. - The gallery piece is leaps and bounds ahead of vBulletin's: http://community.invisionpower.com/gallery/ - The general layout is much cleaner, example of a thread: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/362033-invision-power-board-using-multiple-active-directory-domains/

  10. So no go on coming out Friday night?
  11. Are you having the same issue as imprez? Can you send me a screenshot?
  12. I know a few people who switch every bike they own to GP shift because they prefer it. I've never ridden a bike with it switched though, so don't really have any personal input.
  13. Anyone know of a Chinese restaurant in a neighborhood with missing cats and/or dogs so jbot can have some down home cooking?
  14. I saw a thing a while back about tours they're doing. I would love to do that. Would the wife? Not so much.
