Welcome back to Off Topix!

Sorry for the recent downtime but it was needed to get the conversion completed.



We have decided to ditch vBulletin due to several reasons (a couple of those are: security vulnerabilities/holes in the 3.8.x software and no desire to use their 4.0.x software).



Everything has been converted over successfully. You should not need to reset your password and you should be able to log in with no problems. Your posts, topics, profile comments, signature, avatar, etc should have been smoothly converted over as well. Ive been checking around and have not seen any problems yet (that does not guarantee everything is perfect, but lets keep our fingers crossed).



EDIT: A couple people have emailed me saying their password does not work.

If your password does not work, please send an email to

We will need to rely you (the community) to look for stuff (wrong settings, bb codes not working, wrong permissions, things like that) and tell us what is wrong so we can address those issues right away.



Feel free to explore the new software, play around with your settings. See what new things you can do.. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask. Enjoy the new Off Topix!
 
I've never once been on a successful IPB site, and so I hope you buck this trend for me

I deleted that page.
 
must admit theres one thing i absolutly detest about IPB but love about vbulletin is the way you can set up the way a thread is displayed. i always prefer to have it so i see the newest post first and goes backwards.........im on another IPB and stuggle to cope at times cos my fave forum is vbulletin based

gets confusing when you are forum hopping
 
The polls didn't get converted properly. The results are still there but no-one has voted (technically) and we can revote.
 
Well done on getting everything back up and running again so quickly Nebulous. The forum looks great on IPB, I wish you continued success and the very best of luck with it.
 
Well done Nebulous! You've done a brilliant job and you've got the emoticons back too!
