vBulletin 3.8.0 on vBulletin.com

[Ray2khax]

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.

Yea, Ill put my bets on 4 more months

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.

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

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.
