I want to upgrade to the newest version of vbulletin. In doing so I would lose one of the premium features, webmail. After trying for the last few days to hack the email scripts to integrate with vbulletin 3.5 I have been unsucessful. The last attempt took the site down last night for a couple hours. The scripts we use, Hivemail, is server intensive by itself and the changes I need to make made it even more unstable than it is.

Even though you as paying members would lose webmail, by upgrading you would gain a couple other features. You would gain access to a photo gallery and your own blog.

So I need to know if you would be ok with the tradeoff. No webmail until I can hack a replacement for a gallery and blog.

If you use your wpyo webmail address I can setup a POP account for you to use until I get a replacement in place. This would allow you to send and receive email using Outlook Express or any other email client that you prefer. These would have to setup manually so the transistion would take a few days.

 

Let me know what you, as a site supporter, want.

 

So you know we will be using PhotoPost as gallery and either Wordpress hacked to work with vbulletin 3.5 or a modified journal hack. More than likely the latter as far as the blog goes.

I can't speak for other members, but I personally have no use for a wpyo email address. Heck, if I have one, I didn't even know I did!

 

I trust that you'll do what's best for this site :)

Good luck!

 

(and hey, the blog and photogallery thing sound a lot more appetizing and useful than an email address)

Never used the email. I Like using the PM here and there, but no email needed.

 

Love the idea of other upgrades.

 

Grooovay.

I've never used nor needed webmail. I have two email addresses anyway.

Like Fullauto I think the photo gallary would be of much use of the bandwith.

I put no stock in religion. By the word "religion" I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of god. I have seen too much "religion" in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness.

Email is a little much anyways, apparently everyone has one so who needs another. Photos are great idea!

Well, I'd say it's unanimous, now get your butt in gear and get it installed ALREADY!!! I'm starting to get annoyed by all the offers for windows xp and office 2003 at a huge discount, not to mention, I'm almost thinking of trying one of the viagra links. TURN OFF MY E-MAIL !!

Photopost is purchased, journal hack is modified to my liking, everything is up and running on the dev server. All I need is time to get it transfered over.

I'm not going to put an exact date on it, but, I expect it to be done very soon.

The upgrade was going to happen tonight. Unfortunately, vbadvanced which I use on the homepage is down for maintenance.

I still might upgrade and put up a link to the forums until they are back up. In any case you all will like the new features. I've had a chance to play with them for a while now. They should keep you all busy.

I even added a feature where you can shutoff forums you don't want to see. Make them invisible.

I removed webmail as a start to the upgrade. I will be upgrading either tonight, depending on how much I drink at the family turkey fest, or tommorrow for sure. Site will be down for a few hours during the time.
