As far as I can see, the vBulletin V3.7 upgrade appears to be complete. It looks like there may be a few CSS issues which require a bit of tweaking, with some text colours clashing slightly with background colours. I'll have a wee look into that over the next couple of days.
New features....
3.7 has brought a quite a few new features to the board including;
New Networking Options :-
Image Albums to feature your MINI's.:yes nod: Looks like you can have more than one album. Members can also leave comments about your album, which appear under your album. Max image size for this is 600 X 600 and 95k. However, if your image is larger than 600 pixels, the board software will re-size it for you. There is a warning that you may be able to re-size it better yourself, but for those who are not familiar with image resizing, this is a great tool.:thumbs up:
Contacts and Friends. Add friends to a list for easy contacting.
Social Groups. You are now free to create your own social groups for users to join. When creating a group you can set it to be "public" where anyone can join, "Invitation only" where only those who are invited to join can join in, and "moderated". I suspect the moderated option means that moderators must approve your membership of the group.
The new user profile page looks very nifty, showing the users albums and a "message box" for visitors to leave you a wee message.;)
I've also added in the new site logo, which you'll all be seeing a lot more of in the weeks to come with apparel coming soon.:cool:
That's it for now. I'm sure we'll find other new features in time. In Alan's (Bonnie Scotland's) absence I should say a big thank you to the site hosts; www.thinkbiggar.com for a seamless vBulletin upgrade.:thumbs up:
But for now, have fun with the new toys, and if you have any questions fire them off to me or Craig (While Bonnie Scotland is on his holybags).:frown:
