My first attempt at any kind of guide. Really more of a How-To. Here goes.
How do I get the new vBulletin forums to display the Favorite Forums look that I had on the old UBB forums? Well, I can't get it exactly the same, but I can come close, and so can you. Here's how.
For this example, we are going to assume that your language is English and your Favorite Forums are the same as mine, so that would be the Announcements forum, the HeroCon forum, the Training Room forum, the Technical Issues and Bugs forum, and the Justice Server forums.
2. Make sure that the line saying English has a - on it, and that Francais and Deutsch have a + on them.
3. Click the title of News, Events, & Announcements to expand that forum section.
4. Click on Announcements to go to that forum.
5. On the right side of the page, under the page numbering area, look for Forum Tools with a downward pointing arrow.
6. Click the downward pointing arrow and select Subscribe to this forum.
7. On the following page, set your Notification Type to No email subscription and click the Add Subscription button.
8. You'll get a message that the forum has been subscribed to and then you'll be redirected back to the Forum.
9. Use the Navigation links at the top of the forum to go back to English. Luckily, now this will have each forum section expanded so that you have a similar look to the old UBB forums default front page.
10. Repeat beginning with step 4 for each forum until you have all of your Favorite Forums set.
11. Use the top Navigation links to go to the UserCP.
12. You will see a section in the middle called Subscribed Forums with a - to the right. If there are any sections above that, make sure that they have a + next to them.
This will now look about as close as you can get it to the old forums Favorite Forums view. You can bookmark this page and then use the bookmark to get back to it or set it as your homepage (or as one of the tabs of your homepages section), depending on personal preference.
To remove a Forum from the Subscriptions, just go to the forum, select the arrow next to Forum Tools and select Unsubscribe from this forum and confirm if needed.
You can get to this look anytime using the UserCP link, and since it has the Private Messages links in the upper right, you can easily access them from here as well as many other features of the vBulletin boards such as editing your Profile, Options, Ignore List, and other items.
If you have questions, just PM me.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
