Popular Post Jjs Goodman Posted September 26, 2015 Popular Post Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) The newest SBC version is here, which marks our upgrade to Invision Power Suite 4, is...V11 STARFISH! (or Starfish 11)Yup, it's finally here.What's New?:New Doubloons System: hilaryfan80 has hand coded a new doubloons system, and we've completely remade the store. All your store items and doubloons have stayed. You can see your store items in the "Store Items" tab on your profiles, and you can see your amounts in said area, along with in posts. Also, in good news, you no longer have to do ibEconomy's annoying process of going into My Portfolio to use your item. You can use the item as soon as you buy it, if it is usable! We are aware things like the Lottery and Bank are not there. We have decided to remove the bank, but the lottery will return, I promise. Regarding items, Name Change is now restricted to once to every other week use, and keep in mind using it will change your login name. New Badges System: We have a new way of displaying badges in posts, akin to an awards system. It shows your post, primary group, and any other special achievements. When you hover over them, it will tell you the badge description. All of the badges were redesigned by Patty, so give him a round of applause.Chatroom: You've all asked for it, and we now have our own chatroom! It is connected directly to our shoutbox, and posts will show up on both. We have not gotten rid of Xat, but this is an alternative for those who can't access it. This chatroom is much more mobile friendly. Just keep in mind all rules still apply in this chatroom.New Skins: We have two brand new skins: V11 Starfish and Midnight Sponge! V11 Starfish is actually what SpongeTown, the exclusive skin Loyal Customers had access to. To make up for this, Loyal Customers now have access to two old skins: Orca 8.4 and Jellyfish Fields.Upgraded Calendar: The Calendar has been upgraded, so now we can display birthdays and events like upcoming SpongeBob episodes for everyone to see. You can submit new episodes if you want, but do note they must be approved by staff.Redesigned Profiles: Your profile pages have also received a huge facelift.SPECIAL GIFT: As a gift from us, those who login to SBC this weekend, you will receive 100 doubloons and a V11 Polo Shirt for your iFish, made by Patty!I've only highlighted major things here, but you may notice other minor details I didn't cover. There's a lot of new things! However, some things also did not make the cut sadly.What's Gone?Arcade: As stated here, the Arcade has been removed. Thanks to those who played it in for its farewell tournaments.Treedome Daily: Treedome Daily has also been shutdown due to lack of interest. Sorry to those who liked it, but it had very little usage, so we saw no point in restoring something that would be unnoticed. Maybe one day it'll return in some form.Old Skins: All old skins except for Splash, Jellyfish Fields and Orca 8.4 have been removed. We took the votes in the poll topics seriously, and gave you guys what you wanted. Sorry to those who liked skins like Attack on Bikini Bottom, Midnight in Bikini Bottom, etc., but don't worry, they can still return one day. I hope you guys love this update. The staff and I worked hard on it for almost a month, planning every little detail and making sure it was perfect. The Loyal Customers have known about our plans for a while. We know not everyone will love it, but whatever. Can't please everyone.HOWEVER....That is not all just yet! Here are some things to look forward to in the coming weekend...SpongeCraft Update (Added)New Employee of the Month Widget: The EOTM widget will come back, so don't panic. We're working on it. (Added)Usergroup Legend (Added)Wiki Updates (Added)Member Icons (Added)Bug Fixes: We know there are some minor bugs such as smilies and bbcodes (like profile music) not working, the undefined bug in the chatroom, and we will fix these. If you find anymore, either report them in the topic or PM a staff member. (Added, most have been fixed - if you find any others, please report them)We will announce these updates when they come, but for now, enjoy what we have given you. We really hope you like this update. Edited October 11, 2015 by jjsthekid 25
ClassicNickelodeon Fan 1 Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Wow, this is unexpected! To think I was just on SBC a few hours ago and it was still on IPB 3! This is looking great and thanks to all who made it possible! You guys did great. 1

Popeye Q. Krabs Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) I'm most happy about the addition of a new chat. I never liked xat at all. Great work on the update guys. Edited September 26, 2015 by Sailor Man 3

Popular Post JCM Posted September 26, 2015 Popular Post Posted September 26, 2015 Can we please change it back now Anyway, this is awesome! I can't wait to make skins for this new software. 10
crushingmayhem Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 This is a big change, I like the new features we have and the smoothness the forum has. Good job guys. 1
Cha Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Ha, I'm liking how you can add a banner on the top of profile pages. 3
4EverGreen Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 For some reason, I had to open up this site in a new tab before I could access it, but at least I'm back on. I'm sure this thing will get fixed, I'm using Mozilla Firefox. Are the people who used to follow you, suddenly no longer able to follow you? According to my profile page, there's only one person following me, and I know that I used to have more than that. Anyways, I'm sure that this is nothing a few little fixes won't take care of, in terms of bugs/glitches or whatever they are called. I intend to enjoy the new look of this website.

You'll have to follow people again because your friends were lost in the upgrade. And no, there's no way to get those back. My apologies. It's not hard to refollow people though!
