Hi shane.

I was just wondering if all of the updates to the forum software have been done or are they still on going?

What other things do you have planned for the site/forum? i seem to remember a thread about an arcade or something a while back.. anything come of it??

Just wondering

I am happy to report that I have the new version of the software up and running with no problems on my test forum, WITH the new style complete. I just have a few tweaks to make and it will be ready.

I expect the upgrade to take place next week some time.

As for other stuff like the arcade, it will follow...

Oh goody

I set up an arcade on my forum and its great even with the small number of members we have. Its SO competitive which is great on a forum like this. We are competitive people

I noticed that the forum seems alot faster recently, have you changed to another server?

I optimized some of the queries that were taking up a lot of processing power and the result was a much faster board.

It should be even better with the new software running.

I am curious as to what kind of arcade Invision is using now, as their original hack was a modified version of something I wrote for vBulletin.

Its called IBProArcade

But its not an official invision product. 3rd party.

Here is the main forum for it, it does not have an actual site

http://www.ibproarcade.com/

you can see it in action here.... but you would need to be registered..

Well, good job sorting those queries out i noticed a huge difference.

Hmm... since mine was originally called vbProArcade, I wonder how much of the code is mine? haha

I stopped developing it last year and somebody else released an arcade for vBulletin, but I did nearly complete a rewrite of it for vB3. It will make an appearance on R/C Tech at some point, but this time we will be the only place on the net running it. And it's a lot better than the competition.

I like the arcade i am using at the minute but there is masses of room for improvement.

I will look forward to seeing the new software up and running, and the arcade sometime in the future... I want to see plenty of racing games

Am i right in thinking the new software is now up and running? I have noticed a few changes...................

futureal

Nope, not yet. It's pretty much done I just have to pull off the switch.

Come on!!!!

I guess i noticed things i hadnt noticed before because i was "looking" for things that were different. lol
