Hello Everyone at Vinyl Collective

I will try to compile all the information about whats going on the site with the new upgrade.

Why did we update VC?
The version of the forum software that we use for VC was too old and needed an upgrade (mostly for security).

The new version inevitably comes with some changes. Specially the new "Activity" feature.

How do I filter content by "What i posted in", "What I follow","What I started", ...?

You can click on "My activity streams"  and you can choose what you wanna see based on some conditions, you can also create your own Stream with a mix of conditions
 

How to control notifications?

Click on the Bell icon and then go to notification settings.

Why Is ..... Not working?

Let us know of any bug and we will fix it. Just be polite and patient thank you.

Why is Search and Activity not showing everything?

Because of the software upgrade we had to re index all the posts on the site. We have over 2.6 million of them.

Until this process is done. search will show no results. And your Activity stream will only show things from the launch date (May 1st) and on!

Why are Emails not sending ?

This is something I am currently investigating. We will give you an update when its fixed.

When are you adding more themes?

Very soon. We will work on that after the main issues are resolved.

Is it the end of VC?

No, All the issues will be fixed eventually and you will learn how to use the updated forum.
Just be patient, thank you.

Pretty sad that I bet 95% of the regular users on here absolutely loathe this new layout.  This blows.

The version of the software that ran the forums was too old and needed upgrade (mostly for security). That comes with changes.

We will learn how to use the new version.

Holy fuck! I turned on VC notifications on my computer and got fucking 4 things at once all for the same thread. I go to the thread and not a single fucking new post. WHY WAS I NOTIFIED WHEN NOTHING WAS POSTED?!

You can check your notification settings.

Activity streams and search will not work properly for a few days. Data is getting re index and we are talking about over 2 million posts so it will take a while.

Blue theme helps, could probably do with a dark theme: black background, white text, same blue highlights. There are reply notification but I think it's flash, not the magic of CSS3 transitions so....

It hurts my eyes so bad that I was honestly trying to configure f.lux to be constantly on for a website. 

We will have more themes available soon.

We are working on all the issues.

can i have my display name back, please?

Click on your name on top then go to account settings

Also remember the all the posts are getting re indexed so search and activity streams will not show results until its finished.

Sorry guys just noticed the Signatures were turned off on the Admin panel after the upgrade.
That wasn't supposed to happen.

Some things need fixing and some things need to be learned. We will get there just be patient.

Hi guys

There is a feature called Activity streams where you can filter content. 
But because of the upgrade we had to re index all of the site content (2.5 million posts). It is a long process it might take a few days. 

Before it finishes you will notice the searches will give you no results and the activity streams will only show things from today and on.

I miss the old VC, straight from the 'Go VC

Chop up the soul VC, set on its goals VC

I hate the new VC, the bad mood VC

The always rude VC, spaz on the noobs VC

I miss the sweet VC, chop up the beats VC

I gotta to say, at that time I'd like to meet VC

See I invented VC, it wasn't any VCs

And now I look and look around and there's so many VCs

I used to love VC, I used to love VC

I even had the pink Crosley, I thought I was VC

What if VC made a post, about VC?

Called "I Miss The Old VC," man that would be so VC

That's all it was VC, we still love VC

And I love you like VC loves VC

WOOT! *Hopes for responsive designs*

We got that covered
