Welcome to vBulletin 3.7!

[Youji]

Yeah finally^^. Well I remember it was said we're upgrading to 3.6.9 but okay...^^ So you're running 3.7.0 RC2? Nice. Good luck with fixing the themes and the other stuff.

 

[Virtual Headache]

I didn't expect it to be that early, but I'm fine with that :)
weird how I've been here today already but didn't notice it o.o (maybe because I didn't look at anyone's profile)

I'm really looking forward to making use of the SN features, thanks for the upgrade :)

 

[sims796]

I really got to get used to this. It seems people I took off my friends list came back, and people I put on weren't their.

Unfortunately, I cannot donate to PC. I would love to, especially considering the added bonuses. ;) The current syle will take some time to get used to, but I like it so far, congrats.

I totally agree with T_S, but nice job on the new style.

I must admit, we're actually running a vBulletin release candidate. We'll be upgrading to the final release when it comes out, but for now, enjoy the preview!

You'll notice a lot of new features! The most significant one you'll see is profiles - you can now change the colours in your profile, which is completely redesigned. This content is hidden, but click to view.

Spoiler:

You can finally make profiles like this:



Just go to your [url-inline="usercp.php"]User CP[/url-inline] and select "Customize Profile":

You can change the colours, fonts, background colors, and more:

If you're a Community Supporter (of any tier) or staff member, you'll also be able to use background images in your profile. (This feature isn't available to members.)



There's more features than just these, too. You can add thread tags:

These, along with social bookmarks, are available at the bottom of every thread.

This would be a dream profile.

And if you're a Community Supporter or a staff member, you have a whopping 50 MB of space to share pictures in your album. These can be displayed publicly. Only moderators and your contacts can see album pictures if you choose to display them privately. (If you're just a member though, you won't have access to albums.)

This upgrade is not complete, though. We're well in the middle of fixing all themes to work with it, and some features may also be broken. Bear with us as we try to fix any problems.

GREAT! I can't wait to try the features out.

Now that the social groups are here, does this mean we ditch clubs? :D

 

[Ársa]

How do we invite the people? Once we create a Social Group as 'Invite Only', how do we send the invites? :P

[Tater Tot]

I'm not joining any social groups at all, but I've always wanted people to see me with an orange username. XD
Nice upgrade, can't wait to see what's next. ^_^
(Hopefully it'll be an organization upgrade) XP

Also, What are User Notes? and how do we use them?

Also, What are User Notes? and how do we use them?

User notes aren't part of this upgrade. I'm pretty sure the staff only have the ability to modify them.

As for the social groups, I think certain rules need to be put up for them.

 

[Ársa]

No, what I mean is. When you add a Social Group, and you can choose how it is to be grouped, if I were to choose 'Invite Only', how do I give invites? (There are three choices, Public, Moderated and Invite Only)

At the bottom it will say Pending & Invited Members. Click on it.

 

[Ársa]

Yeah, I just saw that before. Thanks though. ;)

I must say I was surprised. But I like this version of vBulletin

 

[Snivi]

When you click on QUICK LINKS in Blossom Shower, it is missing some things like "View My Profile"

 

[Binary]

Woah, when I signed in I was suprised. I love the new forums with all the new features..
Its great!

 

[Crystal Clair]

I was wondering what all the crap was in my profile
no offense but a lot of this stuff is useless and frivilous. If I want to customize a profile, I'll do it on a separate site.
And what's with this new Bookmarks thing I'm looking at

But I'll try it out just to see my final opinion

 

[JX Valentine]

And what's with this new Bookmarks thing I'm looking at

Bookmarks I can agree with. For some reason, I feel like it's jarring to see that before the Quick Reply box (which I rarely use, but still).

Other than that, sure, maybe the profile stuff is a bit frivolous, but eh, it's not like it's hurting anything. It makes organizing friends a bit easier, at least, although I just don't get the purpose of profile comments (what with the PM system still around and all). Kinda reminds me of Facebook... and then Gaia. Oh, Gaia.

Tags have the potential to be heavily useful, though. At least, in avoiding having to use the Search feature to find a general topic. Are we following any particular set of tags that we're to use here (for example, marking a thread about catching Pikachu in Red with "Pokemon Red" and not 201927 other tags, including "Poke Ball" and whatnot), or are we pretty much free to tag whatever we want, however we want (as long as it's nothing inappropriate)?

 

[Percy Thrillington]

Okay, this is amazingly cool.

Just one question; how much of a strain will this put on the servers?
