vBulletin 3.5 is out. vBulletin is the software that powers this forum, and the version we're running here is 3.0.9.

Version 3.5 features a lot of changes. I'm going to push the upgrade off until after the Newport Cup (October 15-16) as the current message board is working fairly well. However, shortly after October 16, the forum will be down for a few hours while I run the upgrade.

After that, the forum may be somewhat "bland" or "default style" for awhile until I figure out how to get back to the Sand Trap look to which we've all grown accustomed. Then again, maybe then will be as good a time as any to change the look of the forum.

This is just a notice. I'll post here a day or so before I plan to do the upgrade. Please continue to use and enjoy the forum in the meantime.

I ran the upgrade already and I didn't lose the "look" at all.

If you run any hacks, you will lose those but the colors and such will remain.

They don't mention this in the instructions but don't upload the images folder, you may lose any custom images that you have.

Guys this is a great set up for your forum. I'm glad to see you guys use Vbulletin. Its by far the best!!! I hope to be a poster on this forum for along time. SO many of the other golf forums are junk. Or have junk hosting.

Thanks guys

The upgrade has been completed. I have some tweaks to make (like removing the style chooser, if I can figure out why it's suddenly appeared).

If you see something broken or that acts funny, let me know.

The WYSIWYG editor looks a little funny....missing the font styles and size functions......some sizing icons in the upper right are also missing.

Check the client script folder, it may have not completely uploaded.

It uploaded and it looks okay here. Check your browser: it may be crap.

There really isn't a WYSIWYG editor. It's a text box with controls above it, and it looks okay to me:

I cleard my cache and cookies and got the sizing thing back but am still missing some icons.....no biggie, my computer is just limping along and is slated for replacement in a couple of weeks so it may just be me.

First thing I noticed was the hyperlink color.... Funny how you get so used to a look. Can't get the quick reply button to work, but maybe that's a profile thing.

Eric, I noticed you changed your autograph!

Oh yeah, that was green before, huh? I'll probably fix that. My autograph is the same.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
