I'm reopening the forum, it is functional however there are some things I need to have sorted out.
Primarily the custom avatars, sig pics and attachments as well as some weird back end issues like images showing up oddly and such.
Another example is the smilies. When we went to cloud hosting they moved the images in to the database and repathed them for their server.
These pathings do not exist on our server and that means correcting the pathing on 225 smilies one at a time.
I've gone as far as I can go on the server side with the host company support, both free and paid. Now the issues are software and database related which means working with vBulletin.
I have been working with their support forum staff and have again run that out. I could keep going but with an average of one response a day it would take far longer than I want.
I've now engaged the paid support staff and given access to the server and software so the developers can come in and fix things. Hopefully these can be fixed while we're live but I cannot guarantee that.
On the plus side I've found someone who does mods for vB6 and reached out to him to find out if either a new mod to replace iTrader can be made or even if it is possible to use the original iTrader mod files to 'update' it to work with vB6.
ETA: I was planning on doing this yesterday to have things open for the weekend but yesterday was my 37th wedding anniversary and if I spent it working on the forum the Boss would have fired me.
And then killed me.
