Hi all,

 

The club as it stands is more than just a forum and we would like our members to have the same opinion and support it.

Having rich content, lots of videos, pictures, online competitions and other features would enhance the club 10 fold.

 

Thats all great but we have an issue and its the root of our enture website and forums.

 

The forum is run on vBulletin version 4.2.5, which has been for the over 10 years the back bone of this clubs social hub,

However vBulletin has run its course and has become end of life with no futher updates and is rapidly falling behind in both

features and security.

 

vBulletin has an upgrade path which is called version 5 and is a complete disaster; we attempted an upgrade at the start of the

year and quickly moved back after multple failures with the system.

 

If we want to stay ahead of the game then we simply need to upgrade our system.

 

But vBulletin isn't going to cut it so its time to change things completely and migrate to a new platform.

 

Invision Community is the new system i propose we get.

 

You can all go and see it in action at :

 

https://invisioncommunity.com/

 

This new software is not simply Forum orientated so we can create a full rich website full of content pulled directly from the community.

 

Every member can have there own Blog section, Gallery (that works) and many more features.

 

The mobile experience is first class too as you no longer have to zoom in to click forums or to read threads.

 

This new platform is top quality and has great support from the creators and owners who create their own apps for it.

 

If you want a quick view of what the forum side of it looks like go here :

This upgrade will be a major game changer for us but i hope that it will bring together even closer what a great community we have.

The colour picker is a nice touch, although it has got me wondering if there is a 'dark mode' which can be enabled anywhere?

Having spent some time using (and configuring) vBulletin 5.x, IMO this is a much nicer alternative. ? 

 

 

 

I Haven't seen any dark mode, but thats not to say we cant get another them people can select.

Although time comsuming trying to add the same fixes and changes to each theme.

We did attempt the upgrade to vBulletin 5 but it was a terrible system.

I'm so glad i rolled back and waited to find thomething better.

I wouldn't go adding additional themes, just wondered if there was a tick-box or setting which I've overlooked.

I prefer reading light(ish) text off a dark background - but appreciate the majority of internet is the other way around!

I’ve now sacked Tapatalk off, not used it for a couple of weeks, more than happy with this on the phone ?.

I mean your settings on the new software so I can take the leap away from Tapatalk.

What settings? 

You don't need to change anything for mobile to work. 

I havent used tapatalk for ages, this is way better IMO
