I have to say I shan't be upgrading to 3.8 because of Social Forums not working. vB's new system, whilst an improvement on what went before, still leaves Social Group discussions isolated just like the blogs...if like me you have a site where everyone uses Today's Posts/New Posts, then nobody EVER sees these things. My site's last blog post was in August, for example.
To be honest I'm starting to regret using all the blogs and social networking stuff, it's ill thought out and cobbled together very badly, and now they are having to change it all round again which breaks all the custom fixes people put in to make it work properly - such as this excellent mod!
The *only* way forward for Jelsoft is to have social group discussion posts and blog entries/comments mixed into getdaily and getnew searches, with an additional column to show what each result is..."Forum Post", "Blog Post", "Social Group Post" etc. That's the ONLY way it will ever work properly. But that's not really for this thread.
