The site is currently using vBulletin community software, which we feel is no longer able to meet the needs of the CAG community. John and I have decided it would be best to change the community software which powers this site.

We will be switching the forums and blogs over to the Invision Power Suite community software soon after the latest version of their forum software goes live. This change will yield many advantages, including many great new features, multiple skin options for CAG users, and improved performance.

I've been testing out the software on the official Invision forums and blogs and am convinced you will love it. Most everything that sucks about vBulletin is fixed in IPB. Feel free to check it out.

FAQ

Q: Will I lose any data I currently have on CAG? Do I have to do anything to prepare for this transition?
A: No. Everything will get transfarred over.

Q: When will this chance occur?
A: Soon after IPB 3.2 is released. I'm guessing late summer.

Q: I looked at the official IPS site and I think it's ugly. Are you sure this is the right move?
A: We can customize the look to make it more CAG-like. We can even have a light and dark option, which has been a long-time requested feature.

Q: Are you going to change the rest of the site too?
A: Yes. Moving to IPS will make it much easier for us to improve the look and functionality of all aspects of the site.

Q: Will you upgrade the servers too?
A: Yes.

Q: I hate change and want to complain. Where can do so?
A: Please click here.
 
That's sly, throwing in a transfarred and a fake here button! Overall I do relate to one of the questions you posted about how I don't like how that site looks so far, but it could be the colors since the ones they are using just really don't look that good, however like you said if you can make the colors more like the CAG were all used to then it hopefully wont be as bad of a change as it looks and I look forward to seeing some of the new features that could come out of this.
 
I was going to complain but I can't even do THAT with this god damn vbulletin and it's broke ass links. Time for an upgrade I guess.

Oh and here is a fixed link for all complaints. Glad I could help.

Edit: Pretty cool they've got the "like this" button for posts.

Or if the search displays things further back than the last week (and yes, I've messed around with the search fields.. C'mon, I know how to use the search feature..)

And if it fixes the search so that it actually works that'd be great too.
 
[quote name='Brownjohn']Will this make it work better on mobile devices?[/QUOTE]

I sure hope so. I find myself accessing CAG a lot more on my iPhone these days, and all of the current iPhone interface options are a real pain in the ass for one reason or another.

Definitely. The search function now makes it incredibly hard to find specific items in the trading section.
 
[quote name='rywateska']What happens to private groups?[/QUOTE]
IPS doesn't have a built in groups function, but there is a 3rd party add-on that looks much better than what currently exists on CAG.

[quote name='confoosious']Would like a good iPhone Skin. The current one is so terrible.[/QUOTE][quote name='Brownjohn']Will this make it work better on mobile devices?[/QUOTE]
try http://community.invisionpower.com on your mobile device. Is that better? If not, point me to a site you like.

[quote name='ShockandAww']And if it fixes the search so that it actually works that'd be great too.[/QUOTE]IPS uses Sphinx, which is ideal for large communities like CAG. From what I've read, it should support 2 & 3 word searches. John would know more.

I guess I'm glad that the one private group I'm in that is still relatively active has somewhat switched to an external site already, since I don't feel like downloading an add-on just to get the group to work right on the new CAG.

Oh and btw Cheapy...have you checked your feedback lately cuz you have 3 negs(and a positive) from someone called CheapieIsAFanboy .

The add-on is for the forum software that exists on our servers, not for your computer. That would make no sense at all.

I misunderstood.:cry: Either way I'm still a fan of stuff not changing at all, but if it helps the site to run better then so be it.

Seriously, just pop over to that site that was linked and play with it...it's really outstanding. I can't wait.

HEY!

I'm skeptically hopeful. Once we get past the initial discomfort of change hopefully the improvements will outweigh the losses. Just keep the background nice and dark and no one gets hurt. Light backgrounds quickly give me headaches.

I believe there'll be the option for both.
 
Does this mean we will have more color schemes to choose from? Because the green on gray is brutal IMHO.

[quote name='daphatty']Is Invision compatible with Tapatalk?

http://www.tapatalk.com/[/QUOTE]
Yes.
 
It wasn't. I was trying to quote from my iphone and i hit the edit button (I have moderator status) by accident. Sorry!
 
Looking forward to the new CAG. I love the way it is, but improvements are always welcome.

You guys should make the entire site kinect compatible.:lol:
 
[quote name='IAmTheCheapestGamer']Your fan who thinks you're a fanboy is back....again, Cheapy.:lol:[/QUOTE]


I hope you're not talking about me. If so, I was in no way implying that.
 
"try http://community.invisionpower.com on your mobile device. Is that better? If not, point me to a site you like."


SD has an excellent mobile version. Simple and thus it loads fast.

I pretty much like the regular site as-is...just don't go all digg on us. If you opt for big changes, I would say a site in the mold of GiantBomb, but obviously with a shopping/deal focus, would be the way to go.

Guilty conscience?;) But no, there was someone leaving negative feedbacks on Cheapy's marketplace feedback page with the usernames CheapieIsAFanboy/CheapoIsAFanboy.

But I'm sure Cheapy(or one of the mods) IP banned that person now so I don't think there will be anymore of that nonsense going on.

Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if you were talking about my kinect joke.
 
A bit disappointed that we are switching over to IPS. I've ran a vBulletin forum with over 2000+ users and haven't had any of the problem seen here. Most likely because I'm also using vBulletin 4.0 though.

Ehh I just don't really like IPS, its all about preference.

You likely haven't tried IPB 3.2 as it's not released yet. It blows away vB 4.0 in my opinion.

Really? I'll have to try out the new one then haha

As long as we don't lose the functionality of existing groups, I'll be looking forward to this. Groups as is seems pretty limited and there's some odd functionality that exists.

Do you have an idea of which add-on you currently have your eye on?
 
What would be helpful in the FAQ is a list of features we would lose/gain. Everything I've read in here is just pillow talk TBH.
