vBulletin.org Changes - Jan 2011.

[mmfgamer5]

If subforums arn't ideal, maybe put a thread prefix on all threads in, for example the 3.6 mods section with the prefix vB 3.6. I'm not sure how practical/doable that would be though.

All release threads have a version set in them by the author, but apparently its not currently shown in thread listings. I may have to look at changing that.

As far as vb.org and vb4 is concerned, yes, that is being looked at in 2011 as well.

Woha that would be brilliant, Though looks like vb.org will be requiring a lot of code work.

[Rafa-el]

Will vB.org upgrade to vB4 in 2011?

[jscieza]

It looks like Paul has said yes

Well then just add prefixes specifically for that forum. Just add a prefix for each version of vbulletin 3.x
3.0
3.1
3.2
3.3
3.4
3.5
3.6
3.7
3.8

and make it a requirement for users to assign a prefix for easier problem sorting.

These versions are now very old, and unsupported by IB - they are also now rarely used by the vast majority of sites. New releases for these versions are extremely rare, and almost always just duplicates of 3.8 releases. Therefore its time to semi-retire them.

In practical terms, this means the following will happen.

The 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7 forums will be combined into a single "Pre 3.8" forum. This will most likely be termed the 3.x forums. This is not an ideal name since it wont include 3.0 or 3.8, but it will suffice.

The above forums will be closed to new releases. All existing mods will remain open for both posting and download, they will simply not allow new threads.

The [new] combined forums will remain in the main modification and style areas, they will not be moving to the archive area.

what ?

dont be more vb 3.6 ?

shit !

[MentaL]

no offence but allot of sites have not transfered to version 4 or regret doing so because its so POOR. the fact this forum is on 3.6 says it all.

I am glad you are still allowing those version mods to still be downloaded and discussed. That would have been really bad if you chose to close them down completely.

True, but what about new threads? I think we won't be able to make new modification threads or discussion.
