    As long as the color options remain the same, I'm good.

    Ah, "friend requests," eh? So we're trying to be like Facebook? Can I request "Enemy Requests?" I've always wanted that option. I know I could put it to good use.

    "Friend requests" are essentially the vBulletin replacement for the WUL.

    Oh, the Groupie List again?

    Well, if we can't have an Enemy list, instead of the star ranking system, can mods have like, "kills"? Only they'd be "bans"? So somebody like Jello can be like, "Habeo tres prohibitio hodie!" and the other mod would be all, "I don't know what you're saying bro, but I noticed you got 3 more bans today! I am such a slacker! I feel like I must go on a ban sweep through my forum!"

    So all WULs will die upon the move? We'll be starting afresh?

    That calendar function seems like it could be really cool.

    Actually, no. The system also has a "contacts list" that will be where your WUL is transferred, though at present your contacts list isn't displayed in your profile, only your friends list. Your friends list will only be a list of people who have confirmed your friend requests. What's the difference beyond that? Er, uh... Hey! What's that?! *points and runs*

    The new screens look great. vBulletin is a excellent choice given it provides technical support for it's paid product. The lack of technical knowledge has always been an issue here, although that appears not to be the case now. :) Setting up and styling the new forum must be quite a task. Converting a 12 year old database to a new one must be monumental.

    I noticed that VIPs can input their own color codes. Is this assumption correct, or do those text fields with hex codes not do anything?

    You are correct. VIPs and above will have the ability to input any color codes they want and not just be limited to the list of color names.

    Is the static banner related to the move?

    The uniform banner was done as a precaution related to the recent attack site troubles. We're hoping to be able to change back to normal very soon :)

    Since we're talking about banners, on a related topic ...

    vBulletin has the function to allow users to select their own 'theme' for the messageboard. Is this ability going to be made available to us when we move, or are we going to continue with the 'static' themes we've had in place here for each individual forum?

    How interesting. Is there a thread discussing this attack? I looked under 'Administration' and saw nothing. Thanks for protecting the site. My website host suffered a DDOS and it made all sorts of trouble.

    The site attack discussion is in the "If you have a technical error..." thread in this forum.

    Our focus with the move is to keep most of the current policies and day-to-day operations as similar as possible, and worry about making changes later. So in this case, mods and admins will be able to set the banner for each forum, but not individual users.

    I like the sound of the Ignore List, assuming that's for users whose posts you can block. What is Pictures and Albums for though?

    Under VBulletin users can upload pictures and make albums. However, I have a feeling we will be shutting that option off since there are so many other sites available for image hosting and sharing.

    Pictures and Albums would be kind of nice, but a nightmare to moderate (unless there's an option to disable it for users with less than a certain number of posts?).

    Rather than make someone necro a thread that's 5 months old you think we could actually I don't know lighten up when we move? There's an official thread for this and a official thread for that.
