It's probably way past time I should post something in this thread. Sorry for being even more neglectful than I usually am.
There's far too much for me to respond to in this thread so I'm just going to pick a couple for now.
I'm interested in a vB upgrade, if not to 4, then at least to a higher version of 3. I'm unable to do either at the moment because I'm in possession of neither a vB 4 license nor the current license to 3, and I'd prefer to keep us legit at least in that respect if possible. I sent a PM to Blah, because he's the dude and also because he's updated GFF in the past, so we'll figure out what we're going to do.
I've personally never upgraded any vBulletin install, so I have no idea how well GFF will react to a major version update. GFF is essentially the
Winchester Mystery House constructed with ad hoc plugins and templates gathered from custom design and fifty previous versions of vBulletin. I can think of a lot that
could possibly go wrong in the process.
I'm also kind of interested in a new skin, if just from a maintenance perspective, because making anything more than a simple adjustment to one page is a pain in the ass. It did take literally two days for me just to change the colors from blue to green: one spent just on the forums and one for the journals. vBulletin has a ton of templates, so creating a theme from scratch or doing more than changing the colors and so on of a pre-existing one would take a lot of work. That'd take a while to do, and I can't do it myself (as I am a piss-poor designer), so that's a pretty low priority at the moment.
Also I'm going to be gone for almost two weeks starting next week Wednesday, so I'm not going to be doing anything major until after I get back.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
