vBulletin 3.7 First Look Discussion

[---MAD---]

All this looks good, but one thing I've been hoping will go in still isn't (unless I missed it), and that's disappointing.

It's about private messages. They need to be "threads" and not individual messages. An exchange between people can easily clog one's inbox, and it would be a heck of a lot easier and nicer if replying to a PM just added to the PM, and not just started a new one.

When you want to follow a conversation between yourself and another user, you're having to flip flop between inbox and sent, and then you have to open multiple msgs.

It would be a lot easier if it was just a "thread" of messages so to speak.

That would require a re-write of the PM system meaning it has to wait till 4.0.x .

Wonderfull Release!

Great work Guys!

I have a couple questions about the "Thread Prefixes" will I be able to limit only Admins and Mods to assign a Prefix to a Thread.

Also will I be able to prune based on thread prefix's, so for example I can prune all threads in a forum, but ignore threads that have a certain prefix, such as a "How To" Thread.

Wow, I'm officially hyped.

Are there any plans to integrate human readable URLs like vBSEO as part of the social networking?

[NolFito]

OMG I was literally crying of joy when I saw the notice no actual tears but yeh the intention is what counts.

This is one of the finest things i've ever seen :O So many new and usefull things

I better start getting ready and set up the test board it's going to be an awful lot of work to set it up, probabily less than the amount of work you have used to get this beauty ready :P

My users are gonna kill me with all this new features

I'll be waiting for the release and the documentation :P

Thanks vb team always ready to surprise as and excell. Gotta love the attitude.

One quick question
Regarding the "human verifications system" will we be able to select more than one? meaning questions and a one of the image options?
I think I know the answer but...

THx again vb u made my day

[doshomik]

I'd love to be able to import Photopost into vBulletin though.

The user albums are not a global image gallery replacement.

Having private messages as threads and tracking conversations would require rewriting the entire private message system. That is not something that would be done in a feature release such as this but would be done, if it were to be done, in a major version release.

Btw. Is this Kiers Baby at 2 of the pictures in his gallery? If so, congratulations, Kier.

[adguru]

This is like a dream come true. I've been waiting for it my entire life.

[MrNase]

After reading Kier's thread for the second time I am even more excited.

I wonder how long it takes till the first MySpace-like profile pages show up.

One Question thou..

Can the prefix system be turned on/off to suit forums?

I had it as a hack and my users hated it

Great looking Release thou

[Mazinger]

Very Nice

I belive prefix system is coming with usergroup, forum custom permissions.
