Fair enough and tbh I don't begrudge vb any ref fees but when I first started on adsense I got the referral from one of my members and he got $100 (or he said he did)

As Nex said, it's just a pr issue rather than vb becoming the great satan:D I've had a similar thing on other non forum sites with affilliate codes like affilliate.com&aff=999 and people removing the &aff=999 because they think it'll cost extra.

I just noticed that if you post a smilie in the social group posting it won't show up. I don't understand why vB did just create a new forum for social groups and link it somehow.

Here we go, with more templates changes. Just what I needed ><

Unfortunatly we need to manually remove AdSense data from your member account as Google never report back if disabled from their side. This was something that was never discovered during sandbox testing. So if you have entered your data and need to have it removed, please for now open a support ticket. I expect our developers will look into a solution for this somewhere in the near future. But i don't know if it is feasible or not.

I leave responding on vB.com to the vB.com staff.

@all

If you have concerns about the new AdSense integration option, then please use vBuletin.com to ask your questions. Staff at vB.org has no more information then a regular user of vBulletin and will not be able to answer any questions regarding this.

Also i don't expect real answers to these questions until this week. The release was done at the end of the week and the first questions regarding the AdSense integration came just before the weekend. Support staff has also not been briefed about the backgrounds of this new feature and are unable to give a definite answer to these questions. I expect more offficial communication and answers regarding the issues from our office early this week.

How many times have we heard over the last eight years, news on a Friday that's drowned out by news on Monday? Is IB a republican company from the US? Hmmm.

I would be for that, but not to help the stock market.

actually, this entire statement is false... the announcement came on thursday, at 8:30 am... and MY first question came 3 hours after -- ok, it was more a statement than a question...

that makes your evaluation of the week-end very large... lol (Brits may work from monday to wednesday after all, we don't know) ...

that's all... we wait for the guys who know why this crap was installed without the knowledge of the team itself.

For some reason I can upgrage to the final version, it keeps going from 3.8.0 Release Candidate 1, 2 , 3 and so on.... Any ideas?

Just keep hitting continue and it will finally upgrade to 3.8.0 Gold. It has to go through the upgrade in steps in case you have already upgraded to an intermediate version.

you did not read the text above the version number, it indicate a process thru versions...

Agreed - one of the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS in this entire thread (hell, one of the only questions, for that matter) and everyone's too busy whining about something that is so minuscule and isn't going to be changed in this discussion. Atleast they didn't roll out a new security token feature... my site still doesn't work right because of that horrible idea.

Is anyone willing to comment on the template changes yet? For those of us with customized styles and modifications, are we basically starting from scratch with this new version?

It was commented already. 3.8 is a major upgrade... you have to rever your entire site...

the best thing to do is to export your actual style, and compare it to the default style... you will then see what's different between versions.

This is basic to all major upgrades, and you are informed of that in the announcement. If you do not want to revert your templates, you live with it.

You always have to update your templates whenever you do an upgrade. It's on a case by case basis.

Technically, this isn't a support thread and we were instructed in the first post not to use it as such, but to ask those kinds of questions on vB.com.

I updated today, interestingly even though it says I have 5 templates that need to be reverted I have so far not found any issues in the forum. So far so good then :D

Upgraded the demo board and it seems to have some interesting new features. I like the new view in the ACP for viewing old a new templates. In some ways, it's easier to read.

Once you set it up, you can "grant" or "deny" access at any moment in your Setting.

I do have a quick question as well...

Several of my members who use the Social Groups function are a bit disappointed with the new look as it makes it difficult to tell where new activity happened in the Social Groups.

I don't know quite what they are talking about because I barely touch them, but some that are complaining are on the mod staff so there are people that do that can effect changes.

Anyway, is there something, a way to inform them or a way to change its appearance so they can see new activity?

--------------- Added [DATE]1231901462[/DATE] at [TIME]1231901462[/TIME] ---------------

Question resolved. I figured out that what they wanted was the "View All Groups" to be easy to access and I added it to the Community dropdown menu...

I am new to this and just updated to 3.8. The heading colors are similar to here, but on the old version it actually faded from one blue color to another. I can't find where to change the header colors and what color option would that be?

If you need support, then please post in 1 of the support forums.

Sorry. New to this...I will look for the proper support forum.

I can certainly see why this would be an advantageous feature & relationship for you. And I love the idea that you can sign up from this site and that Jelsoft gets a finders fee. However, you really should provide a local way to do this. In this day and age, not providing the option makes you reek of big brother and it seems strange that you wouldn't expect a backlash. This private information really has no business being in your databases/logs.

I'm not upset as I won't likely ever use the feature. However, so very rarely do you guys do something that wouldn't make me proud of your product, I thought it worthy of a reply.

The more I use 3.8.0... the more I think that the guys at Jelsoft are off their rocker...

1. The new pictures & album section is prone to users gaming the "update" system; as well as the valid updates only reading permissions from the primary usergroup, instead of the total permissions of a user (so if only secondary usergroups can upload images, then you will NEVER have updated albums)...

2. The new social groups section is constructed poorly. The code for this page is different from all other pages; I was having style incompatibilty problems with this page that I never had on any other pages.

3. Not to mention, there whole idea of a Category Cloud in the social groups is just assanine. Only certain groups should be put specific categories; because you may want to hold those categories as "prestigious". But you know what? With the cloud system, these prestigious categories are so small that you can barely even read them. Wouldn't you want the prestigious categories to STAND OUT?!

4. Let me also not forget that the social group discussions are BACKWARDS (just like the picture album comments).

5. Having to signup for google adsense on vbulletin.com BEFORE you upgrade. Now this is just stupid. I just upgraded, made all my edits... then I find out that it has Google Adsense support... but I need to upgrade again?!
