> [@Steve](#): > > I believe I read somewhere that the Blog would most likely disappear as it is not seemless transition and still a bit buggy. Jasmin posted about it, It’s not buggy, it’s just badly designed. You could say it’s perfectly great, “bug free” implementation of a poorly thought out design, in fact. Sort of like Windows Vista. It’s not “buggy” as much as it’s design is imperfect. Vista is designed to ask you every 3 seconds if you really meant to move your mouse. Blech! ---

Maybe we’ll make Steve Osborn into Steve Os… No wait, that looks like Steve cereal! Maybe Steve Ozz then… Still friendly, but avoids confusion with that stupid Jackass guy. Plus, it’s vaguely reminiscent of Steve Jobs… hmmm! ---

As long as nobody gets that Ozz confused with Mr Lotus Notes himself: Ozzie, who now runs Microsoft. I’d rather be tied drawn and quartered before being mistaken for Microsoft. I’ve been Windows free over a year now.😉 ---

Or something name just like that. We may postfix the version # or some other identifier. The only caveat is that we probably won’t put much effort into modifying the stock template, so some functions may not be available. ---

The guy who screamed “I’m a PC” at the camera? https://www.youtube.com/embed/lVMy0PFr8no?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque https://www.youtube.com/embed/wvsboPUjrGc?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Thought he took over for Bill Gates some years ago? I guess Ballmer was sort of an “evil Steve” compared to Steve Jobs. All hype, all sports-fan like like crazy intensity, but no substance where it counted. ---

Jasmin- Are we going to get the rep points back in the new forum version? I thought you said we might but not sure … I personally would like it as I do not see them anywhere except the button to give them. Thanks for the consideration. ---

Yep, I just have to figure it out. It’s not built into the forum that way, and there are no obvious answers to this yet. I think it was a “hack” MHarris did custom, so it’ll take a bit. ---

I think you are correct, it is a hack or addon module. As they are there in the “Default style” style sheet scheme (see the drop down box in the lower left hand corner) ---

> [@woofie2](#): > > I think you are correct, it is a hack or addon module. As they are there in the “Default style” style sheet scheme (see the drop down box in the lower left hand corner) Yes, the “Default style” is the one Mharris did himself about 2 years ago. The vB Classic is what vbulletin thinks it should look like. It looks like they prefer to you to tell your “rep power” instead of your actual rep points. That seems awfully conceited, the way vb likes it. That’s like throwing your title (I’m a nun, damnit!), instead of actually referring to the actual number of good deeds you’ve done. ---

Some leads, but not a total solution yet. Other duty calls at the moment. I’ll have to hack away again at getting the reputation points to display instead of rep power in at least a few hours. ---

I’m good with PT 2.0 (after i adjusted my monitor, brightness down, contrast up). I like the logo. And it loads fast. I’m a sucker for anything that loads fast. Woofie’s product search might have some value on the consumer side. Think of it as pull down menu. Lists only consumer products. Click on one. Up comes a canned page describing product and effects with appropriate caveats. Followed half a dozen handpicked thread titles about that product. Sort of like stickies. Button at the bottom says search more goes to regular search box. Might help the retail customers. Boolean operators and brackets will make a difference. Lemme strech it out a little and see what happens. I’ll get back to you on the search thing. Gotta fly. Mo later. OoohYahhh PS Logos cool.
