This is advance notice that we've decided to do a major upgrade to the Hip Forums! We will be moving over to Invision, a more modern, advanced system with lots of bells and whistles. It has a chatroom too. There will be links to FB and Twitter. Anyone with accounts on either will be able to post here and there at the same time. Eventually we might enable ppl to login with those remote accounts, so they don't need to setup another account here. Anyway, we hope to follow thru with this, as other planned upgrades have been cancelled. This switch over may happen next week, if all goes well. It will require the site to be down for hours while we convert our database to use with the new software.
Hmmm... I wonder if you will be able to quote a post here and show that on Facebook... I'm not sure I want what I say here shared by someone else on their Facebook.
Ah, ya no wanty my stuff here showing up on my face book, these two places are very different in what we might say and do and want others on our Facebook reading. Yikes! My momma can see my Facebook! Not that she don't know most things about me but I wouldn't want her reading about me wanting to learn how to squirt if ya know what. I mean, hahaha. Hey, what's up with that thread? Haven't seen it in a while. Oh and will the new chat be user friendly for phones and iPads?
I hope it does not get much more complicated than it already is....I have a hard enough time as it is....and I hate facebook and Twitter and all of those places......don't want to be part of any of them.....and I cannot get into chat here...I geta page that says to donate only.....? but here is a smile for you and your day....
It is not that complicated here. I imagine what you post here will not automatically show up there. Given Skips stance on privacy etc. Relax.
Look into my eyes... Seriously. If you don't log in with a FB for e.g then why would your posts end up there? And don't you think Skip will let you opt in or out of that kind of link?
I want to know what happens if you quote me in a post and then share that post on Facebook or Twitter. I don't want my name is your posts there.
I would not be the one sharing posts on other platforms. I wouldn't want that to happen to me, either. A newer/fresher look and maybe a few more options is what I am looking frwd to. Not sharing any and every utterance on Facebook etc (I imagine we would need to be FB friends to do that, anyway) All that has been said is: post here and there. Maybe ask Skip what that means, exactly.
Could you accidentally click on the button and your ISP takes you right there? Or would there be a menu kind of thingy that asks " Are you sure you want to go to Facebook?"
I am presuming the function will be the same as 'sharing' - you have to actively find and then click. With a few other steps before any link is established. You would have to be really lucky/unfortunate for anything to be posted you didn't want. I would test a few things out first, the ask questions if I was not happy. If sharing is so lax question Skip, IMHO.
I wonder if this is what the new Hip Forums will look like.. http://if.invisionfree.com/topic/5190445/1/
Thank you Skip for not putting VB4 here!!!! I was very worried when I saw this thread,i am losing alot of VBB sites to VB4 and its sad.......... VB4 is ugly,slower and a disgrace to vbulletin!! Im glad you have heard me over the months about it....... I leave any site im on that goes to that garbage!! It wont be as nice as this BUT IT WILL BE 200000000% better than VB4!! Thank you Skip!! (Another VBB site im on recently went to XENFORO: www.driverheaven.net/community) -- I was worried about that site and thankfully the admin heard me also I thought you were AGAINST FACEBOOK skip. You setup a POLL to get everyones opinion and it was clear WE DO NOT WANT THAT HERE!! -- Why are you doing it anyway?? Sadly I cant save everything (Its sad things always get worse ) I just dont understand Skip: Why change whats been working fine? -- This is beautiful,why goto something that isnt quite as nice?? (And for no reason) Dont get me wrong,I AM GRATEFUL I AM NOT LOSING THIS SITE TO VB4!!! (I just dont understand why ppl change things FOR NO REASON)
I can make a guess that the purpose would be to (eventually) be able to draw more-new traffic here from those places... Most likely.... Anyways, will just have to wait and see what new forum is like to see what I think... not judging yet either way.
