Well we've decided to just let the bull loose in the forum and perform the upgrade to vB 3.7.0. Should go all according to plan but if not, well it won't be fun for anyone.

 

For those of you too lazy to work out the time 9PM UK time is 15mins from now, yeah, yeah you know me, never one for doing things in a normal manner, spontaneity is my middle half near the end name.

 

Oh damn 14mins now. :D

Your User CP is where you will find the core changes, you now have access to your own Profile Page that you can customise and also an album that you can upload your own images too.

 

Attachments have a nice little effect added to them also. Clicking on them will result in the attachment opening in a new window like previous.

Heres a full list of whats been changed, I doubt it will be of use to a few people but here you go:

 

 

vBulletin 3.7.0

 

Today, the vBulletin team is proud to declare version 3.7.0 to be our stable, supported release.

 

vBulletin 3.7.0 is available immediately from the Members' Area to all customers with active vBulletin licenses, and will be offered as the primary choice to those making new purchases.

 

This release supercedes the 3.6.x branch as our primary product. vBulletin 3.6.x will continue to be maintained for a limited time, as outlined in the end-of-life announcement posted today. We recommend that all customers with active licenses upgrade to vBulletin 3.7.0.

 

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.

PHP and MySQL Requirements

 

vBulletin 3.7.0 requires at least PHP 4.3.3 and MySQL 4.0.16 (These are the same requirements as vBulletin 3.6), but we strongly recommend that all customers run PHP 5.2.5 with APC and MySQL 5.0.51 or later. Major performance benefits can be had by taking the recommended route rather than simply satisfying the required versions.

 

What is a 'Gold' Version?

 

When talking about software, the term 'gold' is not related to the color of the application. Rather, it refers to the practise of burning the final version of a software product to a CD-R so that it can be sent to a large scale CD press for large-scale distribution. It is used to indicate that the code is ready for deployment to customers. The official name of this new version is vBulletin 3.7.0.

 

Installing or Upgrading vBulletin

 

Anyone who has installed or upgraded any version of vBulletin 3 before will be familiar with the process, but for those who are new to the system, the vBulletin manual has all the details for installing and upgrading.

 

Template Changes

 

A large number of templates have been changed when compared with vBulletin 3.6.x. It will be necessary to revert affected customized templates or otherwise carefully integrate the changes into your custom versions or new features and existing functionality will be adversely affected. A complete list of the templates you have customized whose original version has been changed by the 3.7.0 upgrade is available within your Admin Control Panel after the upgrade is complete.

 

Bug Reports

 

As with any software, bugs will appear. If you find a problem that you believe to be a bug, please don't post about it on the forums where the development team may never find your message, but instead use the dedicated bug tracker to make a report that can be tracked through to completion.

 

Before reporting a bug, please ensure you are able to reproduce the problem on a board using a default, uncustomized style with all plugins disabled.
