ALERT - Login name -vs- Display names (Read please)

Ziroc · 07-29-2007, 02:53 AM

Converting UBB to vBulletin is underway, and I need to explain a few changes that the new forum Software handles logins:

UBB had you make a login name AND a Display name. vBulletin does not do this, so your DISPLAY NAME will be your LOGIN name in the new forum.

Your accounts will be fine, all that will change is the above, and your password will be RESET (since UBB encrypts the PW) and once we're converted over, I will send a mass email out to all members with their new PASSWORD.

All Posts, PM's, Polls are also being imported!

Archived posts will be made 'sub forums' of their kind. So archived Gen Con posts will be a sub forum under the Gen Con forum. (So its easier to find).

Should be cool! I'll keep you up to date on the latest. We should be converted over either tomorrow or Monday!!

Also, once we switch over, you will want to go into your Member control panel, and fill out and config all the new features/options.

PM box limits will be raised to 200 as well. (instead of 60)
Flood control will be dropped to 10 seconds.
