Okay the new site is up and running in place of UBB. The old site is gone, it is not coming back, UBB has not updated their software since 2010 so we are finished with them.
The new site has a lot of changes, but understand as of right now, we are not finished implementing everything, nor is everything up and running correctly. We have to prioritize and address the issues one at a time.
The Thread sort order has been worked out, When we imported the data from UBB to vB it defaulted a lot of the site to a really weird place. vB cannot read UBB very well, the import alone took more than 24 hours, not to mention the work leading up to it.
The feature set with vBulletin is much more robust, however we have not turned everything on, nor is everything defaulting to where you left it.
User Name and Profiles
UBB used to use 2 Name, your User Name to log on, and your Display Name to post under. vBulletin only uses one, so it only brings over your USER NAME.
You can change your User Name now in your Profile, so it reads like your old Display Name. Then you'll just log on with that. Edit Profile under Forum Actions at the top there on the left.
Your Private Messages are probably turned off, so go into your account, and update your settings. There is an account settings at the top right where you logged in. Check your profile, and update it.
The rest we will continue to work on, it's a process, we can only do so much.
I will have them look at email notifications, but when I checked they were working. Some may not, but from what I personally see, they are working. We'll address it after.
There is much more to hard if you look first, and complain later, I get it you don;t like change, your wife told me the same thing. Get over it, we are not going back as UBB is not it.
We will have the Mobile side up and running, its there but off, it will come back on. As I said, one thing at a time, we turned the board back on early, we understand this, now you need to understand this, and either roll with it or walk.
In the end you'll see a much better experience
