New Forum Software: 3.70

[webmaster]

Just upgraded to the latest and greatest forum software. There are quite a few changes with this release, and I haven't figured them out yet. Here is the excerpt from the software's website on features added:

There are many new features and improvements to existing functionality in vBulletin 3.7.0 over vBulletin 3.6.x, most of which have already been described in the release announcements for the various pre-release versions, and in the First Look thread that was posted at the beginning of the beta process, but here is a brief list of just a few of the highlights.

• Inline spam management & prevention
• Thread tagging
• Search cloud / tag cloud
• Thread prefixes
• Reciprocal friendships between users
• Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
• User picture galleries with user comment facility
• User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
• Extended member profile pages
• Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
• Inline editing of custom user profile fields
• Lightbox viewer for attached images
• Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
• Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
• Notices system for navigation bar
• Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q/A
• User change history
• Social bookmarking integration

As always, if you notice anything messed up, post it here.

Test...test..."42%"...."what % get".....now let's see if it edits out stupid annoying questions.

Every time I log onto the Astronaut thread it kicks me out and I get a 'The page cannot be displayed'.....page. It is the only thread it happens with and it has happened almost every time, except when the page freezes with just the top three posts. Not sure if it is just my computer (government with Windows 2000) but thought you should know.

No other problems.

P.S. Disregard, all is well now.

I hear the next version actually electrocutes people who ask that question - too bad John was too cheap to sport for that version!

Well at least that will put a stop to my retaliatory image macro campaign. Phew.

Random Problem:

In chat, you cannot access user profiles of members in the room. I get the following:

"Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error."

Hmm, actually, I was surprised chat still worked. I will look for a new update.

Ok, two "to do" items:
1) Chat
2) Home link (again)

 

[nittany03]

Me too. Do I need to send in my yearly dues?

I keep on getting mail order bride ads.

ADS: I am messing with the code, when I get them placed, I will reset so those who donated won't see them.

CHAT: Can't fix the profile problem, I updated the mod, but it is a problem with the chat program itself now.

 

[MasterBates]

Chat is working at the moment.
