Welcome to Totseans 2014 Upgrade :)

We're using Vanilla and although this look a bit different, I am assure you it's for the better. For far I see many speed improvements, it loads faster, it makes sense more and I do love the structure, sure we have things missing atm and have tons of issues to resolve but I am looking forward to working on totseans for 2-3 months in the summer break.
Currently we have some issues such as Avatars don't work, BBcode are invalid and URL don't work.
For URL I have asked help here:
http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/27317/migrated-from-vbulletin-4-2-2-to-vanilla-2-1-issues-with-mod-rewrite-url?new=1
For Avatars, well just upload new ones, or I will have to manually rename the avatar file names.
It's basically like this:
avatar342_.gif
And the name should be
navatar341_.gif
I am quite sure this can be done using simple batch command but I can't think of it atm, if someone knows tell me.
Regarding Img embed and other features, just be patient, my top priority is getting wordpress integrated.
Also, Twitter/Facebook/Google sign is now enabled
So that's a good start, the permissions are a bit off but I will clean them up.
Overall, it's looking good. WELCOME EVERYONE!

rename 's/^/n/' *
Some re-ordering is left, I spent pretty much the whole day making things work *it was easy*
Overall we're around 80% done.

I tried the Rewrite rule but it fucked it up
This is the htaccess file atm
# Original
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
RewriteEngine On
# Certain hosts may require the following line.
# If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /.
# (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum)
RewriteBase /bbs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
I am adding the Avatars
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)-(.*)?$ discussion/$1/$2

$Url = "http://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token={$Data['oauth_token']}";to
$Url = "https://api.twitter.com/oauth/authenticate?oauth_token={$Data['oauth_token']}";Thank u
And I haven't even optimized it yet, the reason for switching to Vanilla was a lot simpler, there was no upgrade path, VB 5 connect sucks balls and the newer versions would sucks balls as well. And I don't think it's wise to invest 300 USD on something that's doesn't convert.
So, for now I we need to make things platform work, as in make adjustments, make it usable, easy to access and faster. I noticed I load times were good but with this light forum we have more resources to use.
Yes, it does seems weird, awkward and not managed at all, but that's because I didn't work on it. I will make a list and get on it, I am back to my work schedule which is around 16-18 hours of work. Once my work queue is less I will start implementing changes.
I have some issues with connecting this forum with Wordpress which is the main reason I migrated, I want a platform that fully works with
A) Mobile phones
So, yeah I know how to get traffic, how to monetize this baby and I also know how to optimize it, just need time to do it.
Consider this version 1.0
All systems functional
Will try to integrate WP again.
