UPdated Software



Multi-Quote

The much-requested multi-quote feature allows users to tag multiple posts that they wish to respond to by clicking a small button on each post. Once the user clicks the reply button, each tagged post is quoted.



To increase usability, by default, only posts within the current thread are automatically quoted. If you wish to quote posts in other threads with multi-quote, you simply need to click a link on the reply page, and the text of those posts will be added without a reload.



Mark Forums Read with AJAX

If you wish to mark a forum read, you can simply click its status icon on the index page and the change will be processed without a reload. You can even mark individual sub-forums as read in the same way.



Quote Tags Link to Quoted Post

When quoting a post, the ID of the post is automatically included with the [quote] tag. When the quoted text is viewed in a thread, a small icon links back to the quoted post.



Private Message Preview in Notification Emails

If you have elected to receive emails when receiving a new private message, the email will now contain more than just the name of the user who sent you the message. The title and body of the message will be included. Any BB codes in the message will automatically be converted to an equivalent plaintext version using the new plaintext bbcode parser.



Auto-Resize Oversized Image Attachments

If a user attaches an image that has dimensions larger than the administrator allows, the image will automatically resized to fit. This is similar to the auto-resizing of avatars that vBulletin 3.5 performed.



‘Reason for Editing’ Available on Quick Edit

You may now include a reason for editing without having to click through to the full editor.



Unique Unsubscribe Link in Emails

Thread and forum subscription emails now include a link for unsubscribing that is unique to each user. When using this link, unsubscribing from a thread or forum no longer requires logging in.



Save Search Preferences with AJAX

Changing your search preferences on the advanced search page no longer requires a page reload.



Infraction System

The infraction system allows you and your moderators to flexibly reprimand problem users. ---- hmm, that'll not be used right away...



Rate Threads with AJAX

Rating a thread can be done without a page reload now. Rate a thread like you normally would, but when you submit the rating, you’ll get a notification that your rating was accepted (or if it wasn’t) and the new thread rating will instantly appear.



More AJAX Username Auto-Completion

Username auto-completion via AJAX is now performed when editing the buddy/ignore lists, searching the member list, and entering a referrer during registration.



Show Threads or Posts from Quick Search Popup

You can now choose to show search results as threads or posts without having to click through to the advanced search page.



Signature Permissions per User Group

You may now control exactly what users can put in their signatures on a per user group level.



Uploadable Signature Image Support

Additionally, you may allow users to upload a single picture with their signature.



Pop Up List of Attachments in a Thread

The paperclip icon that denotes whether a thread contains attachments is now clickable. It will pop up a window that shows a list of all the attachments in the specified thread, including file size and number of views.



RSS Poster Robot

vBulletin 3.6 includes a new scheduled task that can check RSS feeds from the internet, read their contents and insert items from them onto your board.



Receive Private Messages from Buddies Only

You may now select to receive private messages only from users on your buddy list. If a non-buddy tries to send you a message, they will receive an error saying that you do not accept private messages.



New Buddy/Ignore List Editor

The new buddy and ignore list editor allows users to be quickly added and removed from your lists, with AJAX-based assistance for name suggestion along the way.



Private Messages: Quota Warning

Once you have reached 90% of your private message quota, you will receive a warning telling you that you have almost reached your quota.
