Could you post a list of new features ?

I've noticed some of the obvious ones but, don't want to miss out on others.

Sure, I'm going to list some of the more user-oriented here:



Thread tagging: A new way to facilitate searching and grouping of threads, it is now possible for users to add tags to threads they post or read.



Tags can be added when creating a new thread, or to an existing thread by any user (with appropriate permissions).



Any users who then click on these tags will not only find all thread that have the same tag as the one clicked, but will also contribute to the building of a search tag cloud, which gives users a quick guide as to what has been searched for recently and most frequently.






Reciprocal Friendships Between Users

As part of the new social networking system, users can now request that people on their buddy list confirm their friendship, after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.



Public Messaging

While private messages between users have been in vBulletin since version 2.0, vBulletin 3.7 introduces the public messaging system, allowing users to comment publicly on their profile pages. This is just for comments, people, and it is public.



User Picture Galleries

vBulletin users can now create albums and upload pictures to their account. The ability to view these albums and pictures can be limited by the user to just board staff and people on their buddy list if they want privacy.



Post porn, public or private, and you will be gone. I mean it





New Member Profile Page

In order to accomodate all the new features in vBulletin 3.7, the member profile page has been completely redesigned from the ground up.

The new page presents information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks using a tabbed interface.

Individual profile field categories can be displayed alone in blocks in the right column, in addition to appearing by default in the 'About Me' tab.








I'll list more as they come to me.

Yep, just make your own from your CP.

But Neal said (that means you to Dowly.....)

Seriously, no porn or nudity, eh? I have a low tolerance for this kind of thing in a public forum.

[XLjedi]

Oh NOOOOooooo!!!...

The search feature now requires graphic image confirmation?

My most hated forum feature.

Try it now, you should be able to post picture albums without moderation.
