Title: A look at a future TeamCapri?
Post by: Rocketman on April 06, 2012, 09:09:00 PM: This is what I envision TeamCapri looking like in the future
This is an edited VBulletin forum main page (pulled from another car forum), made to look like TeamCapri - it does not work & is purely for show, but to help visualize what this place could become...

What are your thoughts?

Post by: Rocketman on April 07, 2012, 03:48:00 AM: Thanks! Kerry - pictured there is a VBulletin forum, it's extraordinarily easy to navigate.

The features I like the most are thread subscriptions ( you can keep track of notable threads, or see when a thread you made/replied to is updated)
Also has a nice organized New Posts (unread posts since your last visit) and with one click you can also see every thread updated in the last 24 hours.

A nice feature too is integrated photo galleries you can upload pictures to, as well as attaching a picture directly to a post. I believe it's easy to have blog-style posts on your user profile as well.

The search function is also super quick on them!

Post by: tonlaw71 on April 07, 2012, 11:49:00 PM: I think it comes down to the financials and making sure the transition doesn't cause us to lose any of the valuable information from this forum. Also, I am sure the "powers that be" are very busy and can only work on this in their spare time. :D

Post by: maccearbhaill on April 10, 2012, 02:53:00 AM: Love it! Looks clean but only one critique would be, if possible with VBulletin, more personalization. Maybe the taillight profile of the capri as the icon next to the forum divisions would add some character. Or just the XR2 Badge would be cool too. I'm really excited about the upgrade to the search feature sounds great!

Post by: Kev93 on October 01, 2012, 05:01:00 PM: The cost of purchase would be what, about $250?

Does someone donate hosting service?

I admin a few vB's at work, and have experience installing, configuring, and modifying it as well.

Not that I'm volunteering to give my life away, but I'd be available to help out a bit if a "boost" is needed to get started.

Post by: tonlaw71 on December 10, 2012, 05:01:00 AM: WOOT!! Good to hear!
Title: A look at a future TeamCapri?
Post by: STE_6000 on December 10, 2012, 02:07:00 PM: it will be happening soon. the donations will no longer be made to me any more. i placed the last of what money plus my own to give the site atleast 2 more years, and it will be up to future donations to the new site owers that will make it possible. it is not cheap to make the site upgrade to a new site forum.

Post by: waretrop on December 11, 2012, 01:11:00 PM: So who is taking over the site? And when?
Title: A look at a future TeamCapri?
Post by: CapriTypeR on December 11, 2012, 01:27:00 PM: Ownership was transferred over today, and the new owners are some faceless, soulless internet conglomerate that feeds off of small enthusiast forums........

Post by: Rocketman on December 12, 2012, 10:25:00 AM: We now have a backup copy of the website so if anything should happen, the site can be restored (http://smile.gif)

I've contacted a gentleman familiar with the UBB.classic software, and we are in the process of negotiating a software upgrade. I'll make a new post about this later to let everyone know.

Post by: drbob on December 13, 2012, 09:11:00 AM: I will miss the years of fun on this site. I miss Bill "zsa zsa" Gabor and the multitude of others that spent time here dogging each other out.

Post by: STE_6000 on December 17, 2012, 04:17:00 PM: it will still be the fun site it has always been, just needs new owners that are still in love with the capri to give the site a face lift it needs.
