Casper Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 http://dev.ohioriders.net/It looks best on Firefox, Safari, or any other Mozilla based browser. For those using Opera or IE, I'm sorry. Opera and IE just can't render the shadows, round corners, etc. Nor are they HTML5 compliant. You might want to think about switching web browsers. A screenshot is attached so you IE/Opera folks can see how it's supposed to look. With that said, it's pretty much ready to roll out. It's running the newest version of vBulletin, 4.0.7. I've made a few final tweaks to the design, fixed a few graphics, etc. I think it looks pretty good. I'm planning to roll it out in the very near future. I know I've been saying this for a while, but I wanted to make sure vBulletin fixed all of the bugs. This version seems fairly stable. I feel confident upgrading the site. So, play around with it. Check things out. Post here if you find anything not working or something you think needs fixed/changed.My notes:- You can add authors to your blog. So say you and a buddy are building a drag bike. You can add them to your blog as an author. Also, you can rename your blogs. - Social groups are a LOT more useful now. My suggestion to these groups would be to register your domain name (IE: www.ohioadv.com), and point it to the social group page. As a social group admin, you have full control over your group. I'm adding more features to the groups as well (like calendars, mass messaging, etc). It's like you're own website right here on Ohio Riders.- Soon you'll be able to sync the calendar with your own via ical. This function will be available when the site rolls out. It is amazing. For you smart phone people, you can have the OR calendar right on your phone. For anyone else, any email client that supports iCal (almost all of them) will be able to view the calendar.

jporter12 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Is the IE/opera non-compliance strictly visual, or is there some functionality lost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Is the IE/opera non-compliance strictly visual, or is there some functionality lost?Strictly visual. IE and Opera don't render HTML5 or CSS3, so no drop shadows, rounded corners, etc. I added a screenshot to the first post so folks can see how it's supposed to look.

I believe I have it cached for 10 minutes or so. I can change that later, but right now I'm worried about performance. Good find though. How did it look in Chrome?

Casper Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wow, Chrome kinda sucks. It's rendering the showthread.php pages horribly. It added borders for some reason. Weird that nothing else does that. Even IE renders the borders correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can change that later, but right now I'm worried about performance. Good find though. K.How did it look in Chrome?Looks fine. If I change the style from ORdN Red and Gray (Scarlet and gray???) to the VB4 Default, the OR logo goes away. No biggie, jus' my old QA skills coming home to roost.i cant log in on the new site?Me neither, at least on the Home/default landing page. Doesn't matter if "remember me" is checked or not -- seems like the login button just doesn't have any code behind it.Work-around: Click "What's New" in the top banner, and I'm able to log in from there.

Much, much better. just need to add all the new ones.PS: Can't log in the 'regular' way in Firefox, either, but the work-around works.

LoTGoD Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 How much time do you have involved in the vB4 setup? I'm considering doing this on my forum, but the difference between vB3 and vB4 styling is holding me back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you haven't read the thread, it'd take you to the first post. However, if you've read the thread, it'll take you to the first post you haven't read. In theory anyways.

RVTPilot Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I like it! Though if you could make some of the active buttons look like bewbs and sammiches, I would spend even more time here at work at ORDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
