see another chance and noone took the op.

well noone bit the PM op so im wondering how oftin they check this thread.

if you are SERIOUSLY interested in the new forum: http://www.thejdm.com/phpBB3 you can click that and peep it.

then come back to this thread (or register a name on the BETA forums) and make a post about if you

or

the new site. or even better tell me what i should add/remove/change because when i launch v3 im trying to please everyone (unless you have a bad opinion then i really dont care, haha kidding) seriously, peep it!

remember: its a beta forum, so if you post anything useful over there make sure you come back to the liveforum and re-post it cause people will miss it, use the beta forum to check out the new features and CHECK FOR BUGS!

making progress.

new features are being developed and final and stable releases are getting closer and closer. i still have a great beta testing team on v3 pointing out bugs and playing with the features. the new arcade was installed and seems to be working pretty good with a few 'submit score' bugs on certain computers/browsers. the fix for that is comming with an update on the build.

garage is giving me some install problems that needs to be worked out and fixed once moved to the new host.

the main portal page is also at a dead end as far as the developer standpoint witch is a total bummer because its the only portal i liked. SO im learning php to where i can take over the build and or just play around with new blocks for thejdm.com ONLY.

the new gallery feature is really fantastic in its beta stages. giving you img BBcodes right there so you can use the images in your posts on the website. working with the developers to make it possible to have a 'thumbnail' dropdown pox per post letting you pick an image from your gallery for quick img posting. should be awesome! no more photobucket hotlinking, you can hotlink via the gallery!

i had alot of non thejdm.com members check out the layout and site (got the link from the development forums) and they are quite impressed with the style and everything about the forums as a matter of fact this comment from a phpBB developer was pretty awesome check it:

"Just sayin.
Way to put together a fine forum site.
I have been struggling over mine for the past couple of months and have to say your site is the best use of all the tools I have seen.
As of late I have been in a battle with the gallery feature, you seem to have been able to get it going very well.
The portal page and tab navigation is icing on the cake.
Great work"
-Robert

that puts a damn big smile on my face comming from a developer. anyways i know alot of you dont care about updates you just want to get the new site up and live. i have been busting my damn ass to try and do that. bare with me.

Good things come to those who wait... thejdm v3 is what you have been waiting for.

V3 is the SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.

Can't wait to switch. It's awesome helping checking out new features and finding where they fail. It's nice to note that, it's tough to find issues.

just an update. the developer of the portal system im running is re-writing the entire code fresh and new so thats a good sign that they are still working on the project. as far as a bad note with that im not sure what its going to take to un-install the current setup and install the new setup once released. if i even mess around with the new setup at all. i will have to see how things go. if i can play around with the code myself and get things working myself im staying with the current build.

to the people who care:
more and more updates/upgrades to the installed software/mods on thejdm v3 are being released more and more so new bug fixes and finds are surfacing/diminishing. im in the process of upgrading theGallery and thePortal by the end of next week so im going to need you beta tester to keep your eyes peeled.

i will be updating the beta test log on the forums as well as bumping it so you know when changes are made.

closer and closer we get to v3 liveboards
