vBulletin 3.6.0 Features

[iacas]

Check this big list out (there are seven days worth, so keep scrolling!).

LOTS of new features are coming to this site... just as soon as the skins are updated to work with vBulletin 3.6.0. We use the "Aria" skin from vbstyles.com if you care to follow along (and perhaps alert me before I notice myself).

The skin is heavily modified, though, so I'll have to back-port a lot of changes. The process may be painful, but I hope it's not. I'll post here when I begin and when the process is done.

I'm looking forward to several of the new features.

That looks like it's going to be sick. I dig it.

Can't wait for the new features.

The "Aria" skin that this forum uses will be ready "by the end of the week" according to the guy who makes 'em, so, perhaps this weekend I'll be doing the upgrade.

Big doesn't do it justice. I am feeling that my forum skills are sub standard . I am resorting to copy and paste since I can't seem to quote properly. What is a signature infraction?

[muskegman]

Looks good! The multi-quote option and auto-picture resize will be a nice touch. Looking forward to the features.

Yep, 3.6 looks great. I would have upgraded my forum from 3.5.4, but there is a rather lengthy bug list and it was unstable the last time I checked. Sooner or later I'll jump in.

It's gold now. Did you look at one of the betas or RCs?

[BDR444]

Yep you are right. I reinstalled the other night and the downloads section was telling me that 3.5.4 was still the latest stable version, but now it says that 3.6 is stable.

Our skin (Aria) is ready, but the "sand" color is not. It should be done "in the next 48 hours." I'm hopeful that's before about 6pm on Sunday, since I'd like to spend Sunday evening upgrading the forum. The timing might just work out perfectly.

[BDR444]

That would be nice.

I updated my forum today from 3.5.4 to 3.6, went pretty smoothly and only had one error. Hopefully it goes pretty smooth for you too

[iacas]

All the updates I need are now out. I'll be closing down the forum shortly. Hopefully for no less than an hour.

Incidentally, the theme/skin was not properly updated (by the developer), so temporarily the site will be "skinny."

OK, the skin has been fixed to be the true "expanded" version, so now y'all get to play around.

PLEASE delete your browser cache. Otherwise you'll be seeing a lot of old images when the upgrade included a lot of new images.

I'll work on hacking in some of the changes I had in the last skin as the day goes on. So yes, things may change here and there.

Just make sure you delete (clear) your cache so you see the proper images. You may have to delete it a few times today as the CSS gets updated, too.

Next Steps
1. Get the forum looking like it used to before (with some improvements) (today)
2. Explore the new features (tomorrow)

Next Steps

I may leave it largely the way it is for the future. It'll certainly be much easier that way.

Just testing the multiquote functionality.
