I will like 3.8 if it will have drastic changed from 3.7 just like 3.7 has from 3.6.x.

Wayne Luke 09-19-2008 05:06 PM

And right after a 3.8.1 :)

MadK 09-20-2008 01:38 AM
The changes are great, but my favorite change is the lightbox "previous" and "next" buttons! :)

Vackrick 09-20-2008 02:10 AM
I Love The changes

rapidphim 09-20-2008 03:10 AM
changed too fast man.... just give it a go on 3.7.3 and now ready for 3.8.0 ???? why changed so fast????

Wayne Luke 09-20-2008 04:04 AM
You do realize that 3.8.0 is only at the beginning of its testing state. It can be a while before it is released. 3.7.0 was released 5 months ago. 3.8.0 can take 2-3 months to release, depending on testing.

Vackrick 09-20-2008 04:51 AM
i hope 3.8.0 release no more bugs.... i hoping only...

Sorry Wayne Luke, I didn't mean to put words in the dev team's mouth. I jumped the gun! You said you would consider UserCP Icons for 4.0, sorry. :(

Yeah you guys got to remember not every new feature can be big as the other. Just like every new video game can't be the best or no one would have awards and everyone wouldn't play different games. Also remember that some new features may be more popular than others.

Asalam o Alaikum..(peace be upon you)
I like the changes.
changes are important..
I will give suggestion...
It is about users profile display..
Most of the people use Orkut community,
  • In visitor messages there should be AJAX reply system, So that user can reply the Visitor messages easily, without open the page of the other member..It is necessary because I have notice that many peoples are replying their visitors message in their own profile. So other people cant get the replies of their messages..I mean to say that If we are using visitor messages system It should be simple and every member can access it easily.
  • There should be Option in Admincp of forum manager by which Admin change the forum status Icon easily according to the relevancy of the Forum..Which always attract the user on the forum more.
CYA.
Have a nice life.
Happy Ramdan
Nazia Jabeen:)

I always enjoy having something to look forward to, so this is all good to me.

Haha, this is true, but not the main reason for my sour tone. I just really think vb is wandering around and expending a lot of energy on stuff most board owners don't want or will never use. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling I'm not ;)

Rene Kriest 09-21-2008 04:43 AM
vb 3.8 is great news to me and I really love the changes. I really appreciate your effort to make vb even better all the times. 3.8 will give the vb fans a small preview on what kind of functions and style is going to be implemented in the highly anticipated vb 4.

One thing that I would really like to see here at vb is a list of compatible add-ons for new vb versions when 3.8 is out for sale.

I would really like to upgrade to 3.8 (3.9/4/5/6 ;) ) when it is available but I really need to know whether most of my used 3.7.X add-ons will or won't be compatible with 3.8. Giving out such a list or maybe a feature restricted 3.8 version for testing purpose would really be an edge to me and many of the (c)raving vb fans. :)

I need to know how 3.8 works for me before upgrading. It won't make much sense to me to buy respectively upgrade from 3.7.X to 3.8 just to recognize that most of my currently used add-ons won't work. And it takes some time until coders and testers comment on add-ons threads regarding compatibility issues.

Thank you in advance!

I think the main reason they added these features was because of the demand of their core group of customers. More of these sites use the Social Group features then don't. Especially larger boards.

It's a little early for a list to be out, being that no one but the vBulletin team has access to 3.8. The 3rd party developers wouldn't know that without being able to test it, and Jelsoft is unlikely to be testing hundreds of modifications to find out either. If vB.org holds true to form, when 3.8 is released then they'll open a 3.8 modifications section. But it will be up to the respective authors of your modifications to let you know when and if they are compatible with 3.8. And by "when and if" I mean when and if they get around to it.

I assume by that you mean final release. Given that vb.com is already running the Alpha, I would expect the first beta in something like 2/3 weeks.

M-Tuning 09-21-2008 08:47 AM
Nice, Now we only need threaded PM view!

You mean like SMF uses? No thanks. That has to be the worst PM system I have ever used.

M-Tuning 09-21-2008 03:20 PM
Don't know how it works with SMF but I like how it works with phpBB

Shazz 09-21-2008 03:23 PM
I wouldn't really like looking simular to a free forum software :o

Digital Jedi 09-21-2008 03:52 PM
Actually, I wouldn't mind threaded PMs.

Yes the final release to the public, It seems there very careful in making sure everything is there so they don't have to send a email to everyone that they missed a small fix and a quick patch comes out moments later, which is good.

Yea, I would agree. Its causing alot of less work for new forum owners who need something though and its already built in.

rapidphim 09-21-2008 05:01 PM
I'd like to see better vBulletin default skin... the default skin is same old all over the years...

Thijmen1992 09-21-2008 07:26 PM
Yes, a better standard skin would be great!:D

Who designed vB3?

vBulletin 3's default skin, as far as I'm away was created completely by Jelsoft, minus a few images.

The skin hasn't changed since Beta 3 due to the fact that they wanted an easier upgrade path for users without requiring redesigning skins and modifications.

vBulletin 4.x code line for the most part will be completely independent from 3.x code line and allows them the opportunity for a new default skin.

thestaton 09-22-2008 02:45 AM
What's the time frame on 4.x?

You can get an idea going 1 page back

I have no idea about most, but I would agree with you on the three boards I help admin, so for us the main thing in 3.8 that will make much difference is the PM changes.

As much as I complain about template upgrades, if Jelsoft is going to do a complete redo of the style for 4.0. I am all up for it! :cool:

Thijmen1992 09-22-2008 08:25 AM
It sounds good so far..
Now just wait for the first alpha....

Paul M 09-22-2008 10:31 AM
Alpha 1 is already on vb.com, unless you mean public release in which case I think you are waiting for something that wont happen.

silvermerc 09-22-2008 11:53 AM
I'd like to see the Admin panel changes. Thats the only thing im looking forward too.

shlomot 09-22-2008 02:30 PM
In my opinion, having the ability to embed bbcodes of otherwise html tags in the social group's description is mandatory, and should be subject to the usual permissions methodology.

Please add a.s.a.p. Social groups are about user experience, and the latter is very dull with no formatting options.

Thanks for listening and for your rapid development.

Yes, saying "most board owners" probably is a stretch on my part. Most of the ones I'm aware of would be more accurate. I am liking the looks of the PM changes as well. Overall, I will say I do still trust in the development "vision" of the vb team and will continue to be a fan of the product :)
