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.
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.
- 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.
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.
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).
