The upgrade of vBulletin and associated components has been successful. Although one or two bits and pieces still need to be done I've decided to get the web site open for business in the mean time. So if you notice any problems then please feel free to reply to this thread with details or post a report into the
Technical Problems forum but don't be surprised if they are fixed in the following day or so anyway.
I'm also taking this opportunity to update and add to the web site. Below is what should be a frequently updated list of new features/additions over the next week:
-
Venues : Due to the lack of information coming from local venues I have abandoned the separate venue information pages and instead replaced it with a single
Venues page integrated with Google Maps. As you can see it provides pretty much the same level of information about each venue anyway but with the bonus of seeing exactly where it is located.
-
Calendar/Forum Integration : If you now add an event to the calendar then following successful approval a new thread for that event will automatically be created in the
Gigs & Events forum for people to discuss your event. This also works in reverse so if post a new thread in the Gigs & Events forum then it will be automatically added to the calendar. No need to do both any longer.
-
MySpace URL Profile Field : Many of you have your own MySpace page so you can now add the URL of your MySpace site to
your profile. If this URL is added to your profile then a MySpace icon will appear beside the other IM icons under your profile details on each post you make. If people click on the icon then they go to your MySpace site!
Please keep checking on this post to see if there has been any more updates to the list above that might interest you.
Thanks for your patience.
