    Default Site upgrade to vBulletin

    With the help of a tech I've had the site converted from IPB to VB4. I'm hoping this improves the frequent forum busy message, search problems, database errors and speed issues that a lot of you have seen.

    It was a relatively complex conversion, and took a lot of time to prepare, and I hope you like the forums new (but still similar!) look and feel. There are still a few changes to come.

    Image attachments from the old forums will be back up soon and new images will soon be able to be added directly to your posts instead of having to use an offsite image uploader.

    There may be some bugs to work out and if you do find any problems, please post them here:

    http://www.layitlow.com/forums/forum...Support-Center

    There is a post in there that you can reply to, list what you're seeing. That, or PM me and I'll get to it as fast as I can. Thanks again everyone for being so patient today.

    Thanks,
    Gary

    Great upgrade, I have owned several forums & I am suprised you didn't take this route a long time ago. vBulletin is definitely the way to go. I ran vB on almost all of my forums and the mods/skins available are the best. I am glad you did this & if you need any help with anything get at me I would gladly help with anything I could.

    Great move as I said before !

    I agree, it was way better the way it was before. Before it was:

    -Better and cleaner looking
    -Waaaaaaaaaay more user friendly
    -Faster, because the connection to the server may be faster on the vB, it takes longer to load the pages now.
    -Formatting of the page and display of images was one million times better the way it was before.

    Plus, I lost all my damn subscriptions

    Much better.....most forums have been on V-bulletin for quite a few years. LIL was a bit behind. This interface will allow some pretty decent upgrades to the site.
