PostFusion Revamped!

**Ryan** · 08-30-2006, 04:39 AM

Take a look at PostFusion, and you should be pleasantly surprised. All pages except for "About Us" have received a facelift, hefty in some cases. Here is a list of most changes:

All PostFusion pages removed from the User Control Panel and place on their own page
Sidebar added to PostFusion pages
All instances of "Sites" changed to "Forums"
Install process simplified
Custom PF packaging based on forum software - no more file edits
Forced agreement to Privacy Policy and Usage Agreement
Added subscribed username checks
Forum report button
Paged forum listings
AJAX'ified All Forums, My Forums, and Subscribed Forums!
Improved URL, title, and description update process
Status indicator on All Forums and Subscribed forums - Active, Inactive, or Pending Approval

This is one big step closer to PostFusion 2.0! We have a large todo list left in front of us that we look to tackle here shortly. The PostFusion FAQ will also be updated in the near future to reflect the new navigation, features, page names, etc.

If you notice any problems with the new system, please do let us know. And as always, we're looking for suggestions, feedback, praises, and hate mail! Well, not really hate mail...but if you have any, send it to Larry

and my email is admins __AT__ adminfusion.com

I must add that this is a complete rewrite of the user facing portion of PF. There isn't a single line of code in the system now that was there before the release. It was a sizeable undertaking that really scared me at first. I was a little overwhelmed when I began.

Very slick...

Excellent job Larry. It really looks great and it's nice to know it is completely written here and not just another part of vBulletin.

**Jolteon** · 08-30-2006, 10:38 AM

Lookin Good!

yfs1 · 08-30-2006, 10:47 AM

Looks like I lost a ton of posts though

I jumped to -30 even though the number of posts I have received (108) stayed the same. I even checked my forum and haven't had a PostFusion post in the last 24 hours.

Will this be corrected?

yfs1 · 08-30-2006, 10:53 AM

Just to add a little more info there is definately a discrepency

On the "My forums Screen" I am a -30
On the "All forums Screen" I am a -10
Yesterday I was a +10 (and no postfusion members have posted on my forum since then)

**LarryB** · 08-30-2006, 11:30 AM

Ok. I'm seeing the problem. This change shouldn't have effected the calculation, but since some of the files in the data layer changed it is affecting cron some. I will fix that here in a bit before I go to work.

**Jolteon** · 08-30-2006, 11:37 AM

Damn it! it could have made mine lower!

**Durzan** · 08-30-2006, 12:33 PM

Yeah there seems to be a bit of a problem on the count.....
