    I noticed it went down yesterday.....and I blamed Corey. And now I come back and I can't see anything in the boxes for "enter your text" window. As you can see with the enclosed picture. Also the forum is taking too long to load.

    Also the button names are not showing on the "Quick Reply" box

    White text on white background is bad design. If you don't want to use black text I suggest dark grey.

    Seems that there was an issues with the hosting server for the forum here. At least now the forum is back up and working. I will investigate the button color change issue and any other bugs that are now present with this monster...

    Gah I wish this board was running the IP.Board or phpBB software and not this vBulletin stuff...

    Anyways any other bugs ya'll might notice since a day ago please let me know.

    Amber Knightley I see dead people.

    Someone is working in the background upgrading things I assume, we also have this new editor over at neverdie.com
    I like it, but yes the icons are messed up. I suggest you talk to the guy doing the updates ;)

    I am trying to convince the powers that be that a new forum software is needed. I am not a fan of vBulletin at all and really like IP.Board. SO we will see what happens in the future... Until then I am still trying to get these button issues solved.

    Problem with that is, will what is here already be transferred to the new software or will you lose all the info? And don't the "powers that be" know vBulletin and can they fix it?

    Nice thing about IP.Board is it is compatible with a database backup from vBulletin ;)

    **I did my research ;)**

    And the powers that be are just the decision makers when it comes to this forum. As for all the functions of the forum that falls to me :)

    Don't you hate it when the Managers make all the decisions but its the workers that actually know how to make it work? LOL If the database will transfer and you know the software better then I see no reason not to change. Looks bad when a company can't fix something that represents them.

    EDIT: I see that its not free software and it needs to be renewed every 6 months. Also there is a cost in converting. But not a hefty price for a business to pay for something the admin knows how to use.
