Vbulletin v3.7 Beta 2

**Man1c M0g** · 12-20-2007

I've just installed the 2nd beta of Vbulletin v3.7, which brings with it tons of changes, mostly in the region of admin tools, profile improvements, and speed tweaks. You can take a peek here for more info: vBulletin 3.7 First Look! - vBulletin Community Forum

Let me know if any problems appear and I'll correct them ASAP.

PS. I'll be disabling the new gallery function ASAP - its no where near as good as our existing gallery solution.

The improved spam-killing tool looks good, as do some of the other features, although I'm not convinced about the new layout of the Member Profile Page. Far from presenting "information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks" I just think it looks confusing. But maybe I'm just a Luddite...or easily confused...
However, I do hope you'll take note of the following:

The administrator can lock-down [Member Profile page] customization permissions, in order to prevent the personalized pages being made too offensively awful by aesthetically challenged members... nobody wants to see some of those really ugly MySpace pages on your vBulletin installation!

LOL! I think its a tad too cluttered myself Tamlin! I actually mocked up a similar project myself for introduction in 2008, but it looks a lot less busy. You can see it over at BioRUST.com :: Your Source for Top Notch Photoshop Tutorials & Downloads!

Some form of it will appear in the next year... as soon as I get more of the particulars sorted...

Looks neat, I have already noticed some changes around here, like friends and whatnot. Can't wait to see the end result!

Nice.
*curses you for having to blow my nice number of posts*
There is one thing that I find not working though. The tags. When I try to add 2 tags to a thread and press submit, I get linked to a google search and the tags don't get attaches. Also, the member personal page looks totally messed up if Firefox 2 (hevn't tried other browsers as I don't have any).

I thought it might have been Firefox at first, but it looks almost the same in IE.

Here's something: On the old Member Profile page, there was a link that you could click on to see a Gallery of all that particular member's uploaded images. That seems to have disappeared in the new version - either that or I'm looking in the wrong place. True, there are still the Recent Photos, Most Popular Images and Random Images galleries, but these only display a maximum of 8 images each. Anyone else missed this, or knows where it's gone to (if it's still there)?

Don't worry - I'm aware that the member's page has bits missing. I'll fix it when the final v3.7 of vbulletin comes out (i.e. very soon). No use fixing it before that as they'll probably change everything!

Well bit of a late reaction but I think this must be said,

When I visit the member profile of lets say Tamlin than the comment bar, the one with al the tabs(blog, about me, statistics.....) isn't where it is supposed to be. Its like its aligning itself next to the image....this messes up the complete lay-out of the profile, and makes thing stop working, things like the comment bar.

This problem solves itself when I hit the Refresh button, but I guess this is not the way it ought to work. So therefore this post....

I'm hoping such issues vanish by the next version of vbulletin. If not, I'll seek more aggressive ways to solve the issue!
