Converting To Zetaboards

Recently I discovered that Invisionfree has been hacked and that many boards have been lost. Fortunately, the Crypto Forum prevailed :)

Because IF is very unstable now, we've got an option to convert this forum to a ZetaBoard. This is another free (and non-commercial) service. Okay, I thought, let's read some more.

So I read the wikipedia article:

Quote:
 
Since ZetaBoards was released[1], root administrators of InvisionFree Boards are able to convert their existing boards to the new ZetaBoards software[2]. Although they are not required to convert to ZetaBoards, it is recommended because very soon, automatic conversions will take place.


Automatic conversions :o :scared:

Now I am not sure what to do. Shall we convert now, or wait for an automatic conversion?

Doing it now preserves the illusion of free will...

Very well, we'll do it now.

Brace for impact! ;)


edit: It didn't start immediately... But according to ZetaBoards it will be done as soon as possible.

Wow... converting is much slower than I expected.

Seems to have finally happened.

Wow, I can't believe it actually happened :O

Now let's tweak the skin. This doesn't look all too Crypto.


edit: Well, I really need to get used to the new style. Everything looks so large!

Two issues:

First, the BBCode tag [ Code] doesn't show up in the short list, and we use it a lot.
Zetaboards also seems to have a [ Spoiler] tag, that we will likely make good use of, and might want to put in the short list.

Second, I can't seem to find a "new messages" option.

Maybe I can add it.

That's weird. It's on the usual spot while viewing a forum. Maybe the conversion messed up the rights. I'll have a look at that too.

Okay, after a little struggle, I managed to add the code button. I've also added some code to prevent double posts, and an automatic linkage modification.

If I type Board Rules, it is linked automatically.

Maybe we could make a list to autolink crypto terms to topics that explain them. Or we could make a hovering window that gives a short explanation.

I found out what you meant with the missing new topic button. I've added it to post view now.

I see a "Today's Posts" link at the bottom of http://s13.zetaboards.com/Crypto/index/, but that's not quite the same thing.

Used to be that the icons would change to indicate unread posts. I'm not seeing that, either.

I misunderstood you. Know I see what you mean. I thought you meant the new topic button.

I don't think a function to get an overview of new posts exists in Zetaboards. You can however, use the icons to tell whether there are new posts in that forum or not. It'll take some time to get used to the new icons, though.
