Forum Upgrade and Chat Removal
Upgraded to vbulletin 3.8

General feature update :

Quote:
* Social group discussions
* 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 throttling (limit messages sent over a time period)
* Private message reporting
* Profile privacy (limit blocks to a subset of users)
* Lightbox navigation
* Thread prefix permissions
* Dismissible notices
More details on the update :

3.8 on vbulletin.com - vBulletin Community Forum


Took almost 2 hours updating all the modded templates, but everything should be running ok. Chat was removed because of its unpopularity and increased mysql server load.

I don't know, I wouldn't call it unpopular. During the day there is at least 7 or 8 people in it on some days.

It wasnt a huge update, but some of this stuff will be useful.

Be sure to read that link. It pretty much covers everything.

One of the cooler new features -

I'm trying to figure out the lightbox feature. It says it's something that I guess basically slideshows the images in a post? Did you not turn that on?

I believe thats only if attachments are shown as downloadable links. I havent messed with any of the settings yet.

Except for Enabling the "Friends" and "Recent Visitors" functions. Since Members now have options for privacy on those, I dont see why it shouldnt be enabled.

The "what's going on" section is at the bottom of the index again...I like it there but since it was removed before I thought I would mention it.


And don't think your shiny new toys will make me forget about the chat.

I agree and I'm sure most of us are disappointed. Thanks for the update...

I needed to cause a distraction somehow.

The server load was double just from the chat. But im guessing a lot of it had to do with just that particular unstable version.

I'm not sure what the lightbox is supposed to do then. To me it sounded like it would "flip" through the images in the post. Kind of like an image gallery.

All I see is the same old box with the attached images in it.

All I see is the same old box with the attached images in it.
"The lightbox allows the load of a large image attachment within the browser window without changing the current layout of the page, this can be triggered by a combination of the Click and Hover event."

Its currently set to "click required". Although it could be set to Hover.

Looks great!

Edit: OOOOHHHHHHHHH, now I see the lightbox. Looks awesome too.

So did 3.8 come with any new color schemes?
