    Phenom Sole mentioned switching to a different CMS. A few options provide converters for vb5 content, quakeone.com isn't the first community to have issues with it. But I'm skeptical - does solecord have the time/care to do it (I'm willing to help), and will it be worth it - would members care to participate again?

    It really does resemble the original QuakeOne Theme.

    But honestly I'd say if vBulletin5 is giving you issues; the community is so ingrained and the foundation is all there maybe switch to a CMS that's a little more free'ing?
    I haven't officially used vBulletin but the upgrade from 4 to 5 just from the sideline looks crippling to websites.

    Good job.

    Thank you Efess.
    You made a huge progress to the sites visual.
    I can only imagine how much work it was after all that you described/explained.
    Best wishes,

    A few things to note:

    This forum is far from it's old self. I don't see any of the old news articles or archives. It would be a real shame to lose all that.

    I can only do what I have access to. There's a bunch of things I'd like to see done:

    -Fix styles that I didn't find or gone over
    -Fix the styles that look like shit (I'm not a UX professional)
    -Add SSL cert
    -Upgrade to newest vb5 version
    -Fix the icons ( need a better sprite that's optimized for dark themes)
    -Add old logo or someone create a new one
    -Server Browser needs to be pruned and styled up (I don't know where he code for this is)
    -Bring back the community?
    -Did I mention I hate vb5?

    I need Sole's help for some of these

    Getting back to "normal"?

    Hey all, I've gone through and tried to update all the previous styles for this site. I can see why Solecord lost interest - VB5 basically rewrote the entire interface, so the old styles were useless and a complete re-apply had to happen.

    BTW vb5 is trash, I'd never recommend this forum software. I spent a LOT of time getting the site to where it is - the variables are inconsistent - names don't match the use, hardcoded values, or not specified at all. Several "modules" were thrown in, some of which use variables - some don't.

    I know there will be places I missed, so if something doesn't look right, drop a screenshot in here and let me know where it is so I can fix it.
Working...
