BDII Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 In theory, Itrader is easily made obsolete by just searching the sellers posts. Go ahead and try to easily search my 37k+ posts Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Can you update the video uploading Make it as easy as the pics? Please:hide: Can you find a mod that does it? I can't and that's part of why moving to new software would be beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plum Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 To everyone saying "it ain't broke", you ain't lookin' under the hood. Vbulletin gets hacked all the time. It's a soft target. If it were worth someone's time and effort to wipe this thing off the face of the earth, they probably would. I'd move on to a different product with a better foundation.

Tide Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 And it has 0 votes, lol. Good thing we are not the boss. Would vB5 or IPB not be more future proof? IPB seems split on v3 and v4 mod-wise. For example the classified mod I linked only works on v3. Vbulletin looks to have the same problem. They have large mod support at vb4, but not vb5. vb5 also looks as enjoyable as a stick to the eye. vb4 seems to have the most mods, least disruption. Though it's not as future proof, it seems a step forward. I'll keep digging for a good classified system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every forum software is hackable. A lot of times it is not only about the software, but the Admin behind the site. I dare you to find one piece of forum software that is hack proof. vB has been one of the better ones for years. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianEarlSpilner Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Change is one thing, progress is another. I don't want to seem like one of the old timers who is against anything new, but like others have said before me there isn't anything lacking on this site. I've never been on another forum and come across anything that blew me away in terms of presentation or intuitiveness. At the same time, we'd all adjust to a new format like we do in all other aspects of life. I would welcome a facelift as long as the itrader concerns were met. Would there be a possibility of taking peoples itrader ratings into account when creating an account in the new system? Possibly if the accounts could be linked or setup under the same email? Another point to consider would be the ease of use for the moderators. I don't have any idea how good or bad the current system is from their end. If an upgrade would give the end user a comparable service and at the same time provide better functionality for them then I would be for it. Someone else mentioned video uploading. This is just a random thought of mine, but there have been tons of times when a question has come up when I've wished I could just go out into my driveway with my phone and show someone exactly what I'm talking about. It would be great if there was something out there like FB live for car guys (or whoever) to be able to link up and share video real time without making and uploading a video. Seems like a hassle to do it with FB because everyone uses avatars on the forums and do you really want to friend everyone you need to stream video to?

Tide Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 If we identify a quality classifieds tool, which I'd require have a feedback system, it should be simple to port the data over. I'm guessing it won't be too hard to hand migrate that data since it's pretty straightforward (user, comment, rating, date, object => user, comment, rating, date... maybe object might be hard).

I3eXa Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I don't like change...but it shouldn't stay the same! VB has always seemed to be a good product albeit lagging in keeping up to date but I kinda like IPB too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 If it helps, we upped the photo attachments like 20x in size. Things like that are easy to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Problem with photo attachment and iPhone. You can only attach one pic and it fails most of the time. Problems with the name. --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppertone Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I for one would like it to go back to how easy it USED to be to post pictures that are already on your computer. With that being said whatever site will do that, I am in for ! 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said whatever site will do that, I am in for ! I don't know what that means, site's been around for 12 years, and on this software for at least 10 of them. I do think it is bad to upload photos here period, but the only option to fix that it to choose new software. There aren't options to improve this software beyond what it was 8 years ago.

xt2005bonbon Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I just hope whatever is done to the site will keep it nice, clean, and continue to be fast loading (try http://www.subaruoutback.org ---this site used to be pretty clean but it is now loaded with ads everywhere). I also would not like a change like Windows or Android OS developers have done at times, where after an 'upgrade', things become slower and sometimes less efficient to get something done (e.g. more clicking/steps required to access something).

coppertone Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I used to be able to just go advance, hit manage attachment and poof pick and add a photo. Now when I do that using my same tablet it says invalid. I can do this on the three other forums that I am am using the exact same photos, but not this one. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale.
