vB 3.8 upgrade

**SpankMe** · 3rd February 2009, 20:43

Site software now upgraded to vB 3.8.1.

There are many new features and improvements to existing functionality in vBulletin 3.8.0 over vBulletin 3.7.x. Here is a brief list of just a few of the highlights.

Social group threads
Social group categories
Private message sorting and filtering
Private message history
Quick edit for newer types of content (visitor messages and picture comments)
Social group icons
Social group transfers
Private message quick reply
Private message reporting
Profile privacy (limit blocks to a subset of users)
Lightbox navigation

I will also be updating some of the other modules over the next week or so. I will also be transferring the site blogs to vBulletin's own blog software.

As usual, any problems, post'em here.

Social groups seem to be gone from the quick links.

They are under community now.
The social group layout is rather different.

What's with the dirty big ? next to my avatar?

And the green rep bling seems to have multiplied too.

The social group icons are cool.

The posts in the social groups are in backwards order. The new ones are at the end which is a pain.

I thought it was to replicate the way a thread behaves. As long as you can get to the first unread post in the social group that should work ok.

Hmmm - multiple conversations within communities - me likeee!

ta!

Plus the bling makes even me look popular - hey look! I have as many green squares as Dan Dan the attention whore man!

I think the default setting is oldest posts first.

What I can't find is a quick view that shows when each group was last posted in, so I know if I need to open the group or not.
