  1. Thread Prefixes Long requested by users, threads can now have administrator-defined prefixes to their titles. thread-prefixes-forumdisplay.png Thread prefixes are divided into groups by the administrator, allowing different prefixes to be available in different forums. thread-prefixes.pngUpdateHere is a new screengrab showing some of the thread prefix administration system, which should answer a lot of questions we have been receiving.thread-prefixes-admin.png

  2. Thread Tagging A new way to facilitate searching and grouping of threads, it is now possible for users to add tags to threads they post or read. thread-tags-newthread.png Tags can be added when creating a new thread, or to an existing thread by any user (with appropriate permissions). thread-tags-showthread.png Any users who then click on these tags will not only find all thread that have the same tag as the one clicked, but will also contribute to the building of a search tag cloud, which gives users a quick guide as to what has been searched for recently and most frequently. thread-tags-search-cloud.png

  3. Inline Spam Management and Prevention Tools Forum spam is an increasing problem for many boards. Unfortunately, due to the visible-source nature of vBulletin and most other forum systems, most preventative measures we might add to the system can simply be reverse-engineered and worked around by persistent spammers. Therefore, 3.7 contains a new set of tools to help clean up spam and deal with spammers. Threads and posts can be selected in the usual inline moderation fashion, and then the new 'Delete Threads/Posts as Spam' command can be selected, which will load the spam management interface, which contains options on a single page for removing the spam posts and threads, banning the spammers and finding other spam they may have posted. spam-management.png

  4. vBulletin 3.7.0 contains a plethora of new features, many of which have been long requested by users and customers, while other new features will come as a surprise to everyone. 3.7.0 is slated to be the final major release of the vBulletin 3.x series before all forum development efforts are switched over to vBulletin 4.x, after which 3.x will receive only bug fix releases. In terms of timescales, the plan is to upgrade vBulletin.com to run on vBulletin 3.7.0 on Monday (November 26th) and to let it run for a few days in order to get some feedback and bug reports before releasing the first public beta. So, to the important bit: what's new in vBulletin 3.7? Answer: Lots. But here, in no particular order, are some highlights...

  5. It's very important that you have a good text editor when editing files. I use TextPad, you can download it here. You can also use it without buying a license, it just gives you a little delay when opening with the text to purchase it. CLICK HERE

  6. This is for linking only, there is no upload option for this mod, all videos are hosted on the original site.This mod requires the installation of a "product" and several template modifications. I would consider this to be one of the more difficult mods I do.
