vBulletin upgraded from v3.0.7 to v3.5.2

This patches several security flaws in the software and also introduces in-line editing of posts and other goodies you might notice.

vbPortal upgraded from v3.0 to v3.5

As the forum software has updated so must the portal. You won't notice any changes apart from the theme which has been given a paint job.

Downloads Module

The previous downloads module (Secure Downloads) is no longer supported. In fact the developer did a runner and lots of other users have instigated charge backs through Paypal for the support he never delivered!

As the software wasn't compatible with vBulleting 3.5.2 I had to find something else. There is practically nothing available which is fully integrated with vBulletin and therefore I have had to go for an external piece of software. It integrates to a certain extent in that you don't have to register again and I've managed to amend the templates so it looks identical to the rest of the site.

Arcade

I have changed the arcade from IbProArcade to v3Arcade as it is specifically for vbulletin and is supported. It also has a challenge system to allow users to challenge each other rather than play in tournaments - the tournament system always used to muck up anyway.

All scores and high scores have been retained.

Gallery

Software has been upgraded from 5.0 to 5.21, again just to run with vBulletin 3.5.2.

With all of these changes there are bound to be some things I have missed and I'll be sorting these in the next few days.

You need to log into the downloads as well with the same username and pass. You should only need to do this once and you will remain logged in.

Hi

i've noticed that the 'latest downloads' section has gone from the download menu. i found this really useful to quickly check for new downloads. can it be bought back or is there another way of accessing the most recent downloads apart from going to each individual seciton to check?

thanks, richard

If you go to the homepage (ie, http://www.fruit-emu.com) then you will see a block on the right handside at the bottom with the latest downloads. I need to work on this to make it a bit more obvious, also all downloads have the same dates at the moment so it won't work corrently until new files are uploaded.

Thanks a million Duplu......


Don't this just show all the work you put into maintaining your site....


Said ton's of times by members on post's that FE is their No1 site...mabey this'll show that it's not self maintained and you put a hell of lot of time in...and at cost to yourself!


Let's start '06 in making what Duplu makes 'our' site more secure....a long standing member? get loads of fun from thousands of downloads? use regularly?....Then become a Bronze member, I do appriciate that a fiver is a lot to some, unemployed or too young to earn...then to a lot of us we wouldn't miss it and still get the enjoyment.

Find a post by the user in the forums and then click on their username. It will show you the awards they have won and at the bottom is a link for you to challenge them.

The site will send them a PM from which they accept the challenge and play their leg of the game. Then you get a PM to let you know you can play your leg of the game.

Another great update apart from the new logo(why is the T italicised?).
Just show's how much you put into this site Duplu.
I for one can't thank you enough for such a great place to be part of.
Thank's.

Hello >insert user name< it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks, why not take a few moments to ask a question, help provide a solution or just engage in a conversation with another member in any one of our forums?

That seems new - only problem,it might encourage spam.

Anyone fancy putting together a better logo? That 'T' is actually supposed to be like that believe it or not!

I've attached a template for the logo which can be slightly larger horizontally if necessary.
