VBulletin 3.8 Upgrade On FRIDAY - 3PM


Maxman

Recommended Posts

Hey we are going to upgrade to the latest version of VBulletin on FRIDAY at 3PM. Trying to determine the exact time. The site should be down for about an hour.

Some new features will be put in place. I will also be upgrading to the newest version of the casino so hopefully the poker game will be more stable. For anyone that cares (ECURB) here are some of the other items:

Social Group Discussion Threads

  • Users can subscribe to discussions and receive email notifications on new messages.
  • Subscribed discussions with new posts are aggregated in the User CP.
  • Individual Discussions have social bookmarking links (user defined, such as Digg, StumbleUpon etc).
  • New 'Can Always' permissions to create and view both discussions and messages, simplifying access.

Social Group Changes

  • Social Groups can be subscribed to, adding group aggregation to the User CP.
  • Social Groups now belong to a category.
  • A group's category is displayed in the navigation breadcrumb, group lists and group info.
  • Social Groups can now have a group icon. The icon is displayed in the group info, and a thumbnail version is used in group listings.
  • Icons are displayed on the User Profile page for groups that the user is a member of.

Private Message Changes

  • Read receipts are automatically accepted when a PM is replied to.
  • A new Quick Reply can be used to reply to PM's.
  • A new user option is available to set the default value for 'Save Copy' which is also used with Quick Reply.
  • PM's can be ordered by Title, Date and Sender.
  • Private Messages can be filtered by Sender, Title, a given date period, and whether the message has been read or not.

Profile Privacy

  • With the appropriate permission, users can now configure which parts of their profile is visible, and to who. The configurable components are:
    • Profile Picture
    • Visitor Messages
    • Contact Info
    • Albums
    • About Me
    • Friends
    • Recent Visitors
    • Group Memberships
    • Custom Field Blocks where the admin has allowed it

    [*]The components can be configured to be visible to:

    • Everyone
    • Registered Members
    • Contacts
    • Friends

Albums

  • Pictures can now be moved from one album to another.
  • Album covers are regenerated when moving images if the cover is moved, or the destination album has no cover.
  • The default albums view now displays recently updated public albums.

Lightbox

  • Lightboxes can now be used to view all images in a post.
  • Next and Previous buttons can be used to navigate the attachments, and wrap when the first/last image has been reached

Other Changes and Additions

  • A new Community link replaces the Members List link with a submenu for Social Groups; Pictures & Albums; Contacts & Friends; and the Members List.
  • A New Items submenu is also available with the newest Visitor Messages; Group Messages; Group Discussions; Picture Comments and Album Pictures.
  • PM Reporting.\Improvements to Contact List editing. Show Avatars option is now preserved.

As to not conflict with any playoff football -- we are going to do this on Friday instead. Possibly Friday afternoon at 3pm (half an hour - to one hour downtime expected).

But I will confirm the start time.

Um, yeah we will see how it goes. :) I was hoping to do the same thing and take the weekend off. I will post more tomorrow I will probably end up pushing it back to 6 or 7pm.

Bronzey -- sorry they don't have anything like that to customize your name. I think it would take the pages to load longer so that is probably why there is no option for it.
