CHANGE IS UPON US! WE'RE MOVING

Hello everyone. This is it. We will be converting over
the current MCADCentral.com website into the vBulletin
website beginning at 5pm EST. The website will be down
for a few hours as the DNS has to be updated to point to
our new web server.

All passwords & account info has been saved...
Unfortunately, notification emails on different posts
could not be converted.

Once launched there will be a few days without the daily
updated newsletter as I have to make sure it doesn't send
every post out to everyone dating back to 2004.


Baring any "black swans" we should be up and running
shortly.

ugh.. yeah... the o garbage was an early early version of a spam thwart...

FAIL.

I've submitted this request to scan & update
 
Another problem is with attached files, see the attachment for the second post in this thread:
http://www.mcadcentral.com/showthread.php?23207-How-do-i-model-this

Some other issues:
-Attachment size limits are too low. 19.5KBs for images and 97.7KBs for zip files.
-Message editor is pretty basic, could be something like this:

Edit: There's an option in (settings>general settings>Message Editor Interface) which allows to select a more advanced text editor which is nice.

There used to be an "active topics" link that listed all the new topics since my last login, is this still available? I can't seem to find it...

Ok looks like the "active topics" is in the "what's new/new posts" menu, but posts are in strict chronological order, it would be more useful to be able to have them sorted by forum section first, and then by time, like it worked before.

I noticed there is no 'instant email notification' option for forum subscriptions (there is for threads). Is that something that is not turned on on the admin side or simply not available in the new software. I liked getting the email notices of new threads.
 
Hello Doug... I believe there is. I will get this turned on hopefully by the end of day today.
