NSC vBulletin upgrade

[Bozza]

I'll be upgrading NSC to the new version of vBulletin in the next few days. vBulletin 3.8.0 includes, amongst other things, the following features...

* Social group discussions
* Social group categories
* Private message sorting and filtering
* Private message history
* Quick edit for newer types of content (visitor messages and picture comments)
* Social group icons
* Social group transfers
* Private message quick reply
* Private message throttling (limit messages sent over a time period)
* Private message reporting
* Profile privacy (limit blocks to a subset of users)
* Lightbox navigation
* Thread prefix permissions
* Dismissible notices

Nice one. How much is this upgrade costing? Good to see NSC is using some of the profit from the ads wisely.

Now, about those dancing girls?...

Does that mean that when we sign all the new players during the transfer window NSC will be out of action for the upgrade

Nice improvements, should save people having to contact each other through myspaz, arseface or grebo.

None of which means anything to me but I can't wait to have access to 'Private Message Throttling'.

It costs nothing for the upgrade as such, as we pay an annual license fee to vBulletin.

Coincidentally (or possibly not) I've just renewed again, which served as the prompt I needed to look at bringing us up to date.

What about bringing back Post Counts?

 

[Safeway]

See you all again in March, then.

 

[MattBackHome]

'Lightbox Navigation' sounds exciting. We must be entering the space age...

What about bringing back Post Counts?

And the birthday cake!

And the birthday cake!

The brithday cake was brilliant!

On a seperate subject, how long (if at all) will NSC be down for?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Bozza , were you tweaking last night at approx. 22.45 or did the wheels fall off again ?
p.s. can we have the post counts back again , please ?

Does this mean I need never again leave the house?

Marvellous.

Some of us don't already. We exist in the twilight zone.
