Default The Pavilion Forums


The Pavilion Forums are an Australian based Sports forums dedicated to fans of Australian sport.

We did officially open on January 01 2009 - and quickly acquired over 10000 posts and 2500 members, however midway through the year we were hacked where our whole website and forums were deleted, and after building ourselves backup our server was attacked by the Gumblar virus.

After being devestated by the hacking and virus attack we have moved hosts to a more secure provider, and have spent the last two and a half months building back up both our website and our forums.

The website has been built using WordPress - where we hope to find a reliable bridge to vBulletin to share just users/usergroups.

However for the forums (which are linked above) we have used vBulletin (obviously otherwise I wouldn't be here) and instead of going after one of the brilliant themes that are available we have opted to attempt to use the default theme (to help with installing mods, upgrades etc) which was edited to suit our networks "color brand".

We are looking to hopefully relaunch our network shortly - while we are still open and people are free to register, we have been heavily hampered by the hackings and virus and want to begin a new advertising campaign.

There is one major thing we want to add - and that is the Tabbed Forum Home, however are working on a couple of changes to suit our needs, and won't force our users to use it so once this template is perfected then we will copy it and install the tabbed forum home then.

Ok so now the babbling is out of the way introducing myself and the network I would like to open the floor to all of you - who are probably better coders etc than me - to take a quick look at my forums (the site to if you want here) and give your honest feedback.

As I said I am still relatively new to the whole world of vBulletin and therefore am open to any and all suggestions, mods you think could be useful or fun for my members, things in the wrong place, graphics need fixing - anything.

I take everyone on board and do not take things to heart but please remember I am a newbie to this so go slow - but please be honest it is the only way we/I can improve.

Thank you for all your help, ideas and suggestions in advance.

EDIT: Just quickly before someone brings it up I am currently working on new buttons for EDIT/QUOTE etc so please don't bring that up as I already know they need more work
