Compared with ipb - vBulletin is tons better, not only for Forum Administrator but for the end user as well - I think ipb is a really sloppy forum application - it just seems to have a few ajax modifications implemented, but it's not quite as feature-rich as vB in my opinion. And of course you can always hack your board to take out the inline tables - of course your current style shows that you've done that already, but who's to say that's better than the 3.7 release (which I personally - along with an entire Community of board owners think is FABULOUS) :)

Jacquii.

btw - what IS your Forum about anyway? Just curious as I see Poe, Woolf & Ginsberg have a nice premiere spot on your homepage = interesting - I just don't read the language....

It is obvious that you donot understand what you read at all.

The only thing i compared vBulletin and Ipb is the profile options. You probably donot know about Ipb profiles thats why go and check them. If we are talking about Social Networking Users profiles must be the main focus and their profile must show their contribution to site. Thats why Blog integration must develop , thats why with a tab user created threads , users posts must be integrated.

My site is about literature , philosophy , rock and metal music , the language is turkish

Just reading through the list of new things coming I see I will be uninstalling some mods. Cant wait, looks great.

Events are one of the most underestimated but absolutely essential part of the contemporary SN community. People are trying to relate their online life to a real one. Facebook is a living proof of that. I actually am surprised they are the only ones who came up to this. ))

Blog integration hasn't even been implemented yet. That tab is just a place holder. The blog addon has to be updated to handle integration, it isn't controlled by vBulletin. ;)

I had presumed we'd get our hands on it on Monday. How long does it usually take.

Depends on what is found in a live environment.

Why do some of you think some mods have to be re-written for vb3.7? Seems to me that there are not much changes but many additions like new hooks etc, but they wont prevent the existing mods from working, eh? :confused:

I would expect most mods to work in 3.7 - but a lot should be rewritten - either to make use of new hooks, or in many cases to make use of template hooks.

Many useful new features, some like the groups are really awesome for social networking ;)

looks good
i've recently moved over from IPB with the import impex install and it works a treat , going to set up a test board to make sure all installs ok :)

Aw! What an @SS - As a forum Administrator and Member of many many forums using IPB software I surely do know what an IPB profile looks like.

Jacquii.

Nice additions and features in this version, but I am asking does it load the server ??

Where indeed? A lot of those features were deja-vu.


Good point, and it saves me from having to make a decision anytime soon.


I upgraded to 3.6 for one reason only: full PM content in the email notifications of PMs. But as it turned out, multi-quote was more useful than I thought it would be, and those two things made up for the overall headache.

No feature is jumping out at me with this one, though. I don't run a giant board with lots of spammers and faux Mods trying to illegally edit posts, and I don't think anyone gives two damns about having a snazzy profile. And since it's a small board I would rather that people actually posted on the board, not chitchat in their profiles.

Would that whole word-cloud, social-networking deal help bring in new members? Then it might be worth it, even though word clouds annoy the hell out of me. Word Clutter would be a better name for it.

Only a question, and I apologize if I wrong section.
Does 3.7 release of vBulletin support multiple options vbCode?

I don't get why people are complaining about the social group. I would rather see vB NOT get clogged up. If you want all the extra stuff, download a mod. Why are you trying to act like vB is myspace?

How long do these upgrades typically stay in beta?

That depends on how things are running. Public beta will probably not start until all found issues on the vB.com test run are resolved.

Cool.

Thank you.

Wow, that looks great. I can't wait!

Until 4.0 there is this mod

You can select your most used links and create a kind of Admin Favorites I think.

The coding is different. Added mods work through the database so they use more system resouyrces. Also every time you upgrade you gotta redo them.
Core code is faster, more closely integrated, and needs less tweaking on upgrades.

The debate on SNofluffies (social Networking) versus FPs (ForumPurists) rages on but essentially VB has adopted SN for sound business reasons. The majority want it.

I found some thing in vbulletin.com/forum :)

So maybe its comming soon :)

I've always shyed away from lightbox due to the well kept secret that you can get a LOT of traffic from google image search alone!

The lightbox shouldn't interfere with that. Since Googlebot doesn't process HTML and vBulletin recognizes this, then it will be presented with a standard link to the image to follow.

This was announced days ago, if you read the proper announcements... They are testing it, doesn't mean it will be released soon...


ok, stupidly, we can say that for 3.5 and 3.6, the release of the first RC were 2 or 3 weeks after the first public tests... and RCs are not for Production Sites... you have to take care of what you're doing with RCs!

wowww 3.7.0 i waiting

i'm waiting 3.7 and this style :P

we are waiting this style along time :)

yes, we are wating 3.7.0

These new features defaintly look awsome :D can't wait to see them in a public release action :D

In case you haven't been to vBulletin.com yet, you can now customize your profile there. A lot of people are making their match the theme of their forums.

Still no support for thread thumbnails based on the attachements of the first post (with user choice for which thumbnailto display in the thread list)?
A ot of boards are related to graphics and this kind of improvments is a must have.
I already use a plugin for that, but it's incomplete and not always up to date.

For the thread prefixe, will it be compatible with the current plugin available for that? To be sure that the transition willbe smooth? :)

Anyway, I'm waiting to test it on my test forum!

Edit: answer page 5 for the thread prefixes :)

VbTeam: you should take a look at the cgtalk.com (forums.cgsociety.org; sa?e website) and their "3D still" section (http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=132) : when you create a new thread, you enter your image, comments, title, etc and it create a first new post with a ful size image and a thread thumbnail. I don't ask for a such advanced custom code like cgtalk one, but something similar would be great :)

I'm waiting to see all the non announced features, because expect some "a la mode" features, I don't see a lot of new features which makes me hardly waiting vb 3.7 :)

I would love to know when we expect the first public beta release to become available.
I am planning to use vB for a new site/project, and would love to start out with 3.7 (beta) right away, but can't wait until the end of the month to get started....

Taco

I really wouldn't expect it before the end of the month. That's just my guess.

looks way cool, i cant wait for it. There are lots of features in there that ive wanted to implement, but now that it will be come standard there will be no reason for me not too. Lots of cool things that were implemented too that i have installed as modifications.

when is it coming out

Yes

Yet-another product update announcement with no ACLs. :(

release the damn thing ;)

last night I have dreamt of it :)
