Member Customization of Profile Page The administrator may choose to allow his members to use the profile page customization tool, which allows users to alter fonts, colors, background and borders etc. of their profile page in order to create a more personalized look. The administrator can lock-down 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!

New Member Profile Page In order to accomodate all the new features in vBulletin 3.7, the member profile page has been completely redesigned from the ground up. The new page presents information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks using a tabbed interface. Individual profile field categories can be displayed alone in blocks in the right column, in addition to appearing by default in the 'About Me' tab.

User-Created Social Groups To further social cohesion between users and to encourage people to make friends, vBulletin now includes a facility to allow users to create their own social/interest groups. These groups are enhanced by having their own public messaging system, and the ability to add pictures to the group from user albums.

User Picture Galleries vBulletin users can now create albums and upload pictures to their account. The ability to view these albums and pictures can be limited by the user to just board staff and people on their buddy list if they want privacy.

Public Messaging While private messages between users have been in vBulletin since version 2.0, vBulletin 3.7 introduces the public messaging system, allowing users to communicate publicly via their profile pages.

Reciprocal Friendships Between Users As part of our new social networking system, users can now request that people on their buddy list confirm their friendship, after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.

Thread Prefixes Long requested by users, threads can now have administrator-defined prefixes to their titles. Thread prefixes are divided into groups by the administrator, allowing different prefixes to be available in different forums. UpdateHere is a new screengrab showing some of the thread prefix administration system, which should answer a lot of questions we have been receiving.

Thread Tagging A new way to facilitate searching and grouping of threads, it is now possible for users to add tags to threads they post or read. Tags can be added when creating a new thread, or to an existing thread by any user (with appropriate permissions). Any users who then click on these tags will not only find all thread that have the same tag as the one clicked, but will also contribute to the building of a search tag cloud, which gives users a quick guide as to what has been searched for recently and most frequently.

Inline Spam Management and Prevention Tools Forum spam is an increasing problem for many boards. Unfortunately, due to the visible-source nature of vBulletin and most other forum systems, most preventative measures we might add to the system can simply be reverse-engineered and worked around by persistent spammers. Therefore, 3.7 contains a new set of tools to help clean up spam and deal with spammers. Threads and posts can be selected in the usual inline moderation fashion, and then the new 'Delete Threads/Posts as Spam' command can be selected, which will load the spam management interface, which contains options on a single page for removing the spam posts and threads, banning the spammers and finding other spam they may have posted.

vBulletin 3.7.0 contains a plethora of new features, many of which have been long requested by users and customers, while other new features will come as a surprise to everyone. 3.7.0 is slated to be the final major release of the vBulletin 3.x series before all forum development efforts are switched over to vBulletin 4.x, after which 3.x will receive only bug fix releases. In terms of timescales, the plan is to upgrade vBulletin.com to run on vBulletin 3.7.0 on Monday (November 26th) and to let it run for a few days in order to get some feedback and bug reports before releasing the first public beta. So, to the important bit: what's new in vBulletin 3.7? Answer: Lots. But here, in no particular order, are some highlights...

This site is dedicated to the Gixxer (Suzuki Fans) out there. http://www.gixxer-forum.net

Thanks for the props Corey, I appreciate it...

I saw your request on your site earlier too.... so I was ahead of you a little bit. :lmaoBut yes they are installed and working! Thanks again...

Thanks Corey.... Without you I would not be doing this vBulletin work either... so thanks for everything.

I think your good to go now.... Everything has been moved and reconfigured.

Hi Gail, we will get you hooked up and worry free...

ya that's a twist to the one I use... it's a little different and still showing in beta stage for some reason. I'll test it later but use this one for now.

Cool, the files for some modifications require them to be edited then uploaded.

It's very important that you have a good text editor when editing files. I use TextPad, you can download it here. You can also use it without buying a license, it just gives you a little delay when opening with the text to purchase it. CLICK HERE

Here is the text file for install. thsi is for version 3.0.9.5You will need textpad to be able to read this most likely. installanymedia.txt

To view or download these modifications you must hold a current vBulletin license and be registered at http://www.vBulletin.com

You should have downloaded a zip file with all the files in it... Here is the link direct to the file if it will let you. HERE

Let me check the link because there are about 20 files you need to upload as well as template modifications. If you just install the xlm file without the other things you may have issues. lol
