New Ad Placement

Hello all,

I've purchased Ad Removal from InvisionFree aka ZetaBoards. Their ads are now replaced with mine, which should, in most cases, be more unobtrusive than the original ones. As time goes on, I'll be accepting placement from sponsors rather than using generic Google and Chitika ads.

Let me know what you think about this new development...

*** ATTENTION ALL TURK FORUM MEMBERS ***

* Zetaboards Inc. is the forum site that Turk Forums was under. Zetaboards has been bought out by another forum group called TapaTalk.
* So sometime in the very near future, Turk Forums will transition over to Tapatalk and will be under their forum group, so to speak.

* So just letting you all know that this change can take place at any given time, maybe tomorrow, next week, next month, etc, etc ...
* So if you come to Turk Forums one day and everything looks different, don't panic, it's just that the transition has taken place.

* From the previews I see, the new Turk Forums will look a little bit different at first, colors and themes will be off and so will other stuff.
* Turk Forums will not transfer over completely intact as it is now, so there will be some different looks at first until I can figure things out.

* Form what I understand... all pictures, links, member names, passwords, avatars, topics, etc will transfer over to the new forum.
* So whenever this change over does takes place, sign in to the new Turk Forums and look around and get familiar with the new stuff.

* Trust me, things will be a little hard to navigate at first, and I'll have a lot of work ahead of me to try and update the new forum to my liking.
* So for now, don't ask me too many questions about the new forum, even after we get there, cause I'm new to all of this as well, I don't have answers.

* Also, from what I'm understanding, the new forum will have a Tapatalk App, I guess where you can access Turk Forums through their App?
* And, I think the new Turk Forums will have more mobile friendly features as well under Tapatalk (I think, but don't hold me to that).

* All I know is, I have to relearn how to do things over again on the new forum ... forum settings, features, control panels are all new it seems.
* Anyway, the Turk Forum transition over to Tapatalk will either be the beginning of something better, or the end of something great ...

* Here was the conversation below I had recently with a Zetaboard Support Team member that led me to find out about Tapatalk taking over.

Hi, I have a question about my board/forum, maybe someone knows the answer...

Some websites or forums you go to on a mobile device will have an option to change the board view to "mobile view" where it changes
the look of the site to fit the mobile device (usually makes the mobile site bigger and easier to see).

Does Zetaboards have this option in my board settings somewhere, to give it a "mobile view" ? ....... Thanks for any help.
Helena
 
No it does not have a setting for that. However, there is a list of themes that have been made mobile compatible, and a link to codes
in that topic that can be used to make a theme mobile responsive. (which means your regular theme adjusts for mobile devices.

You can find those here: http://support.zathyus.com/topic/5176947/

You won't have a whole lot of time to use them, as ZetaBoards will be transitioned to Tapatalk groups in the very near future.

Tapatalk groups has the mobile responsiveness you are seeking.

Hi Helena ... thanks for the response, I appreciate it. .... I didn't know Zetaboards was changing to Tapatalk ... thanks for that info too.

A few quick questions about the change...
1. Will my board/forum remain intact?
2. Will my board themes/colors/look change any?
3. About when will this change over to Tapatalk take place? Will I get a message about it?

Thanks for any help.

This is a preview of what your board will be like after the transition: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/turk/index.php

Log in and check it out. That will answer most of your questions. You'll find that its your board with a different look, but all the content and
members are there, and your permissions should be intact. Everyone will have to log in after the change, but accounts will be the same.

The change will just happen. You may not get a warning. Your theme will not transfer, and any codes in your board wrappers will not transfer.
You will have to remake your theme using the Extensions tab in your AdminCP. It will allow you to overwrite the CSS.
Any html in forum descriptions will parse, but you will not be able to edit it. However, you can reformat it with BB code.

There are some nice features in the Tapatalk groups set up.
If you have problems with your preview board or further questions, you can find help here: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/tapatalksupport/index.php

Hi Helena ... thanks so much for the info, I appreciate it ...

I guess I'm just a little nervous about this change over, but I guess most board owners are.
Ok, I'll let my forum members know what's going on so they don't panic when they see the new look. lol

Thanks for all your Zetaboard support and help on here over the years ... you guys helped me a lot ... Thank you.
I guess I have to start preparing for the new changes ..... thanks again and take care.
Helena
 
Preparing your members is a good idea. Some that stay logged in forever will freak out if they encounter a different look and don't know they have to log in again
to establish login cookies. So it helps to remind people to refresh themselves on their password, and update their email so they can recover it if necessary.

In the end, its all about communication, and if the new platform facilitates that, members should be fine with it. Even if you can't exactly convert your theme,
you should be able to set (and save a copy of) some basic color changes, so you can plug them in right away. That should help members feel more at home.

Good luck with all the changes. Thanks for the vote of appreciation. We have been more than glad to help when we can, but its nice when people notice. :)
