Welcome to the NEW ScootDawg Forums! -Please Read-

Welcome to the NEW ScootDawg forums!

Hey everyone, my name is Mike and I've teamed up with Lee to help out with the forum. It's no secret that we were having a lot of problems with the old forum, the biggest one being spam. It was out of control. We were also very limited in what we could do, and had to abide by others' rules & regs. The possibility of losing precious forum data generated over the years by all of you great members was always a concern too. The previous forum host was known to have hardware failures resulting in this. So for a lot of reasons, our best option was to leave the old forum and migrate to this new one.

Some of you may be familiar with this brand of forum software (vBulletin). It's probably the most widely-used forum software on the 'net. It's professional-grade, and gives us a lot more features, better performance, and most of all, lets US be in total control. It's a lot more secure, too, and will help to cut down on spam greatly, if not completely. If you're not used to it, please just give it some time. As with ANY change, it can take a little time to get familiar with when you're used to something else. But, I guarantee you that you'll learn to love it and see all the benefits of it in no time at all. It works pretty much in the same way as the old forum did, but should be even easier to use even with the addition of more features. Again, please just give it some time if it seems at all overwhelming in the begining.

As for the features, you can see that we now have Photo Albums for all members. Simply upload your favorite pics to it from your User CP. They will also be shown randomly with all others at the top of the forum index page, which is pretty neat. We now also have the 'iTrader' feedback system, which is useful for those of you that buy & sell on here through the Flea Market forum. Another great improvement is a better PM system, where you will be emailed everytime you get a private message on the forum. You can also download and save your PMs if you choose. And one of the best things about this forum, is that the search feature is MUCH better. There's a lot more, but you'll find all that out on your own I'm sure. :)

Like I said, this was a huge undertaking, and there's some things that couldn't be avoided. We lost about a day's worth of posts (please feel free to re-post any threads or posts that were lost), and a couple new members may have to re-register. But overall, it turned out very well.

Logging In
Existing members (if you registered on the old forum before Jan 23 2013), you'll have to request a new password in order to be able to login. To do so, simply try to login, and when it doesn't work, click the "forgot password" link. A new password will be emailed to you (make sure it's the same email address you originally registered with). If you don't see it in your inbox, be sure to check your spam/junk folder. If you registered ON Jan 23, 2013, your account might not have carried over to the new forum. I apologize for this, but it was simply unavoidable. If this is the case, please feel free to re-register. If you have any problems at all, please email us at mail@scootdawg.net and we'll get it all worked out for you.


Usernames
The old forum was a little different in that you could have a 'login name' and a 'display name'. The new forum uses only one for both. Now, the new forum will recognize your LOGIN name instead of your display name (if they were different from eachother), so if you want your display name to be used instead, send me a private message here on the forum with your display name noted, and I'll eventually get it fixed for you.


Avatars
Avatars could not be carried over either, so if you want to use your original avatar from the old forum, please visit the old forum (if you don't already have your avatar saved on your machine) and save your avatar (right-click on it, save) so you can then upload and use it here on the new forum.


Signature Images
Same instructions as above for "Avatars".


Private Messages
Any stored private messages that you had on the old forum will not be carried over as well, so if there's anything important that you need or want, visit the old forum and retrieve them.

Options
Please make sure you have your 'enhanced editor chosen'. To do so: User CP >> Edit Options >> Miscellaneous Options >> Enhanced Editor


I think that about covers it for now. Obviously we still have some kinks to work out and details to finish in the coming days, so please just bear with us for a bit. If you have any problems at all though, feel free to post them in this thread.

Thanks everyone, and enjoy! :tup:

[larrball]

Good choice on implementing Vb forms.
Much better.. IMHO.

[danno711]

I appreciate all your time and effort it takes to do all this. It's an act of selflessness which I applaud.

[teddy554]

Much better, Thanks. Also for people that don't like to load signatures and pictures you can choice not to display them on the user cp page under edit option

[Guest_1]

nothing like giving people advance notice HUH?
Stupid a&&'s

this is the most screwed up site i have ever been on.

and wow gee just delete all of a persons bookmarks and PMs
so how do i go get everyones PM they sent me again.
whata bunch of crock


and wow a rate a person option so if a bunch of 'clicks' dont like you they can
rate you, who made this option, someone scared of being liked, or scared of NOT being liked

[cheapeto]

Excellent job Mike!!
One of the reasons I've always kept my membership here, was all the tech artical archives.
What a fine improvement!!
Best wishes and Thanks to all involved!!

[flyangler]

Where am I? lol

[Guest_2]

What a surprise I had when I went to the forum. Well I made it.

Only problem I have had is getting a pic to load in my signature block. Also noticed there is not a way to bookmark a post like on the old site. At least I haven't found it yet.

[spandi]

Had difficulty getting on here, and to be honest the layout is confusing. (I't's going to need some tweaking)

[Guest_1]

worse site design i have ever seen

[spandi]

Well I guess danno will be happy to find his posting back.

[inuyasha]

Hi
I like it

[spandi]

Ok I get it now. on another site I posted on they had the same rating system but had to give it up due to retaliatory misuse. I would strongly recommend discontinuing it here.

[carasdad]

I like the new look...easy to use. But what I don't like is the 'Rate-a-thread option' Enough on here do not like me already...does this give them Carte Blanche to dislike enough posts to get a person banned or deleted??. :(

[millsc]

gonna take some time to get use to

[Guest_1]

yep and thats gonna happen here.
'clicks' are gonna get rid of people.
and if you, like me, wanna use different fonts and colors
ya gotta set 'em everytime.

again WORSE SITE DESIGN EVER!!!!!

>:(>:(

and again, all bookmarks are gone, all Pm's with people address that were sent to me GONE, again crap

[millsc]

its kind of complex for now i'll give it a chance

[Guest_2]

You can go back to the old forum and still retreive all your PM's and bookmarks to get any info you need. The old forum is read only so you just can't post there anymore.

[scooterparts3]

Interesting! How the heck do i change my username? Like on the old forum the name i registered with was scooterparts3 but you can add i guess a nickname which i had set as Scooter Elements and i cant find it here.

[scootnwinn]

No problems here this is very similar to a Datsun forum I'm on. It will be way better once we get used to it. I like the feedback option personally. Helps people who are new get a feel for who can be trusted.

Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

[Guest_1]

really?? , u think that will help a new person?
now i am NOT saying you and your buddies, BUT, say u guys decide you don't like , say , ME, so you all conspire to rate me as bad. is that fair or is that "click' mentality?
also another bad thing
like now im trying to 'member what your post says, it not on this page, & unless im quoting you, i cant see it

[millsc]

it doesn't seem bad im settling in

[teddy554]

once again i like it, it will take some people time to get used to but that the case with anything some people dont like change. Love the photo album option, now i can check other people rides out.

[teddy554]

scootnwinn you have everyone jealous over that signature picture, you need to spill the beans..lol

[inuyasha]

it doesn't seem bad im settling in
Hi
I agree ,change is always hard at first, but in the long run things will be much better imho
And im very familier with this setup as most of the other forums im a member of use this same software
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

[spandi]

I think the graphics are too "noisy' compared to the old site and need to be simplified and toned down a bit.

[spandi]

scootnwinn you have everyone jealous over that signature picture, you need to spill the beans..lolAll ya gotta' do is live in New Mexico.

[inuyasha]

All ya gotta' do is live in New Mexico.
Hi
Its not the content of the photo we are all jealous of its how he managed to add the photo in the first place
We myself included cant seem to figure out the procedure to add are own photos as we did on the old site
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank

[Guest_1]

You can go back to the old forum and still retreive all your PM's and bookmarks to get any info you need. The old forum is read only so you just can't post there anymore.

Jim

[spandi]

I'm sorry (and I know you guys are trying.) but there are aspects of this new site that need to go "back-to-the-drawing-board"

[Guest_1]

yeah its the yellow circle with the black! under the person info

[50cc]

MUCH BETTER, GUYS! Now we're not forced to use PBs' PAID mobile app to browse the forums on our devices. right? Which FREE forum app supports vBulletin?

[jrryan56]

Not bad at all.

[Guest_2]

Adding the pic was easy got to edit signature and paste the url link or upload a pic also report to mod button is under you avatar

I must be having a senior moment!!!!!! Edit signature, pic uploaded, saved, but still wont show up.

[teddy554]

49ccscoot has a new setup still pb but different layout

[loncindawg]

Leery about losing all of my valuable bookmarks. Looks like I have lots of work ahead of me.

[Guest_1]

Leery about losing all of my valuable bookmarks. Look like I have lots of work ahead of me.
i sent a e mail to the mods
asking if we have a certain period to get them all, before they delete the site, and we lose it all. havent gotten answer yet

[jrryan56]

Different for sure

[Admin]

Thanks to everyone who appreciates the work! And I'm glad to see most of you like it. Like I said, it's the whole 'change' thing.. no matter how positive or needed, it will always 'scare' some people at first. I'm positive after a month or so, you'll absolutely love it and not understand how you ever used the old one. lol Please just give it a month or so before totally panicking. :D

I see some confusion and/or misinformation, I'll get to all of it eventually. Please read the first post in this thread, a lot of the questions being asked have already been answered in there.

Thanks again guys! :)

[spandi]

Different for sureHey you're back! (it's been awhile) Glad to see you again.

[scootnwinn]

I must be having a senior moment!!!!!! Edit signature, pic uploaded, saved, but still wont show up.

You have to click insert pic next to it after you can see it...

[scooterparts3]

Yes at the left bottom side there is a yellow !

[50cc]

Once again - GREAT JOB, GUYS! Please tell me is this forum supported in Tapatalk?

[loncindawg]

A store here would be nice. CafePress I think it's called. I like the new dawg.

[Admin]

Once again - GREAT JOB, GUYS! Please tell me is this forum supported in Tapatalk?

Yes it is! Let me know if you have any problems using/finding it. It should work though.

[Guest_2]

You have to click insert pic next to it after you can see it...

Had to change my editor Interface to Standard Editor to see the insert.

Thanks

[Admin]

Make sure you have "Enhanced Editor" selected:

Yes you is welcome

[beachbum]

You have to pm the mods and tell them your sign in name and then tell them the display name you want.

[jeepsteve92xj]

Nice upgrade. Now this will behave like 99.9% of all other forums I follow or read.
Thread Tools at the top is where you SUBSCRIBE to a thread, usually the options are instant, daily or weekly emails. Whichever you choose, that is how you save a thread for your interests. Easy peasy once you've done it.

I do wonder if the old forum will be migrated in. There is a lot of information over there.

I dont know if TAGS is an available option, but sometimes the search doodad sucks when it cant use short words such as OIL. If there was a thread about oil, and someone else was able to add a tag of LUBRICATION, I believe that would be useful.

Glad to see a few of you understand the significance on vBulletin. :D It really is light years ahead of the old forum.

[Lefty]

Ok my sig finally came up But now how to add some verbage, I got into the editor and typed some stuff but zip.

Yes Spandi that is the top of Petit Jean Mountain overlooking the Arkansas River. Live right at the bottom of the mountain and get to see things like this:

We had a white Christmas and the old mountain was for sure pretty in white.

[Guest_1]

nice pics :yay:

[Lefty]

I must be slow but I cannot for the life of me figure where to open a problem.

So the question is :
Where are the threads for people to open different problems? I do not see any 50cc 4 strokes 50cc 2 strokes 150cc 250cc 300cc trikes etc.. or is this a free for all and just a chat room..lol
Lefty

[loncindawg]

Beautiful neighborhood there, Professor.

[loganhes]

Wow!! I'm away for a few days and look what happens. It certainly is different. I like some things but others I am not sure about yet. I don't always think more options automatically makes it better...perhaps just more complicated. I am however willing to give it a try.

It's actually a lot easier to use, even with more features. It's still the same basic operation.

[rankontop]

i found this site from going on the pro boards site. i seen it was abandoned. having done hosting and installing forums for peeps in the past im like where did everyone go? i tried to register only to be told ya cant.. im like this is a hell of a good database for us scooter users and its just dead. was sad to see. Glad you migrated you database over to this forum. was wondering why there is no utilization of you tube and other SM accounts pointing back to here. i found a scootdawg on youtube but nothing scooter related.. ..sorry guys im a web techie and this year i started getting into scoots..
Well i'll poke around and see if i can find info on my hyosung sf50 and piaggio lt50.
