PITTspeed Upgrade - Vbulletin 7.0

------- VBULLETIN 3.7.0 RELEASED --------------------

Following a very successful public pre-release testing phase, we are delighted to announce the release of vBulletin 3.7.0. This new version supersedes vBulletin 3.6 as our primary, stable and supported release.

vBulletin 3.7.0 is now available for download from the vBulletin Members’ Area by all customers with active vBulletin licenses.

In this new release, we have concentrated on improving features for visitors to your vBulletin forum by implementing social networking tools such as extended user profile pages with visitor messaging, user picture albums, user-created social groups and reciprocal friendship creation. We have also taken steps to help forum staff deal with the growing problem of bulletin board spam by improving our human verification tools to prevent automated systems from registering and posting, and putting in place a one-stop-shop tool for dealing with spam and spammers in the inline moderation system.

Here is a brief but far from comprehensive list of some of the new features making their debut in vBulletin 3.7.0:

• Inline spam management & prevention
• Thread tagging
• Search cloud / tag cloud
• Thread prefixes
• Reciprocal friendships between users
• Public visitor messaging on profile pages with ‘conversation’ feature
• User picture galleries with user comment facility
• User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
• Extended member profile pages
• Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
• Inline editing of custom user profile fields
• Lightbox viewer for attached images
• Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
• Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
• Notices system for navigation bar
• New human-verification tools including reCAPTCHA, and question/answer
• User change history
• Social bookmarking integration

For further details on these features, take a look at the ‘First Look’ thread, available at vBulletin.com:

Would you folks like me to have board downtime on the weekend or during the week?

The weekend…everyone is at work during the week and cannot survive without shaggy’s humor on pittspeed

Weekend so I can help you move the rack that day as well lol.

how long is the downtime for the update ?

From what he told me a while back he might build out a new pittspeed entirely(hardware and all). The rack is moving from one side of the datacenter to another so I am guessing hes going to build it out then when we move the rack & he will turn up the new Pittspeed.

Who knows tho, he wont give me a straight answer on when the move is so I can tell the people that are paying me for space/hosting

i am going to say i will take a 4-6 hour window. I need to do some system updates during this time as well.

I’m sure you’ll survive, there’s more than enough grandma p0rn to keep you occupied until it comes back.

weekend. i wont know what to do with myself at work if you drop it during the week

shouldnt you be worried about getting your boat ready so we can go cruisin

ehhh, yep. I think I may be down there on Sunday doin’ the wax-on wax-off routine intertwined with some beer.:mullet:

stop and pick me up :love:

Do it right now.

weekend is the best time i think
