The new graphic was done by Michał Grelus, and I'm very pleased with what he did for us. I'll pass the praise on to him.
(Michał has never even seen a Scion - they don't have them in Poland.

The newest Scion model is right up front and the older ones are in the back, the current models are on the left and the discontinued models are on the right.
Besides, the balance of the design works the way it is. (That's how the positions of the models was decided - what positioning looked best, regardless of any other constraints.)

This is going to be better, because they actually understand this software (they own vBulletin...)
Here on SL they did not understand how it worked, and pushed buttons that should never have been pushed.

This process was a huge undertaking for the IB guys. None of them knew anything about administering PHPbb, and unfortunately, there were some fumbles throughout.
Seeing as their world is all based in vBulletin, I'm strangely confident that the migration will go relatively smoothly. It's going to take some time for everyone to get used to the new format, but it should ultimately be a beneficial migration for the Scion community.
Fingers crossed!

vB has alawys been a decent software to deal with. I'm not fluent in it but never had the problems we've seen here.
I'm sure eveyone will adjust pretty fast since most forums are in vB format anymore.

The most difficult adjustment will possibly be some of the things that vB cannot do that will be carried over from the existing ScionLife software - the custom stuff. It won't be as smoothly integrated into the whole as it should be at first, and will take some getting used to.
You'll see what I mean late Monday...

Most of the custom stuff is hoped to be slowly absorbed by new features in the vB collection over time. Some of them will be actively pursued, even, because they liked some of what the custom stuff here can do. :D
As to the "thousand post bar," that is specifically there because having the actual post numbers visible with each member's post has caused problems here in the past...
A "reputation" system is certainly possible, and in fact is a standard part of vBulletin (that we are shutting off, at least for now).
The potential problem with a reputation system in an aggressive a group of folks as we see here at ScionLife.com is that small groups of folks will often get together to "game" the system by en masse jumping on another group and rating them very low and themselves very high, or other variations.
(We actually went through this a couple years ago with the rating system for cars that we have on ScionLife.com. One particular club, which shall remain nameless, got upset with another club and persistently and repeatedly rated members of that other club's cars a "1" no matter what, and their own members a "5" no matter what. To this day, there is a "trust" problem with that club among some of the staff here.
)
Anyway, we will be looking at allowing the reputation system to be turned on, but it will not be one of the first things we do.
Take care,
Tom
