Well the upgrade is done!
The forums are now running vbulletin v3.0.7, so take some time to look around at the new features. There's extra options in your user control panel, which you can find under the "User CP" option below the logo up the top.
If you have any questions about features you find, or how to do something you used to be able to do, use this thread to post it in.
The style and colours have changed as well, as you can tell
It's not 100% complete, expect that there may be a change or two still to come in the next few weeks. If you've got comments or feedback about the style and colours, please use this thread to post it in. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
A couple of notes:
- Image attachments are now stored on the filesystem instead of the database (good for our backups! )
- Images will be shown as a thumbnail. Click the thumbnail to see the larger size.
- You can attach 3 images to a single post now, just press the "Manage Attachments" button and it's pretty self-explanatory.
- The quick-reply box is simply that, for a quick-reply. If you want added features such as attachments, click "Go Advanced" or hit the normal "Post Reply" button.
- At the bottom of each thread is a "Similar Threads" search summary.
- In your profile, you can now have a "Profile Picture"
- We will relax the image posting guidelines a bit in a few days, thanks to the attachment changes and thumbnails as mentioned above.
- I've added a couple of extra "hacks" (mods) at the bottom of the index page - "Members that have posted today" and "Users that have visited today".
- The "Private Messages" link is now on the top right of the main index page.
- The "Newest user/Total # of posts/threads" is now at the bottom of the main index page.
That's about it!
One important thing to note: A big thankyou to those who have
