This was such a large update to vBulletin that every template had to be reverted back in order to include the new functionality. Since this forum is highly customized, it has meant a lot of work reediting the templates. I'm going to list what stuff I know is missing still, and what I have restored. Once I am done with the template edits, I will announce the new features.

1) Custom smilies - the popup was missing from the quick reply window - it should be there now.
2) Forum filter - it is back in Edit Options in User CP
3) Moods - apparently, a new version of the Mood plugin has been released, but there is some complexity in upgrading it. The current one is still showing on the blue skin, but the selected mood doesn't show anywhere. I will update it as soon as I figure out how to protect all the existing custom moods.
4) Tags - vBulletin integrated tags into the new version, and as some of you discovered, by default anyone can edit them. This is a REALLY BAD IDEA so I turned off that option. I actually prefer the older tag plugin and will probably go back to using it - I converted all the old tags to the new format.
5) Special fields on the posts - the fields showing SL Business name, SLShopper ads, arcade top scores, awards, etc... have to be restored still.
6) The Dark SLU skin needs a lot of work still - the reason for the switch is the company that made the previous one seems MIA and does not have a skin compatible with version 3.7. While it is under editing, it is not the default but will be switched back to the default soon.
7) I am not sure what effect this had on the mobile skin.

If I think of anything else, I will update this to keep you posted.

If you are using the blue skin, hit refresh is your browser when you are viewing a thread. I put back the glossy buttons - they were overwritten by the upgrade.

I'm seeing some redirecting issues. If, for example, I click the 'My Posts' link and then try to revisit a post for editing or whatnot, it takes me to the first page of the thread rather than to my actual post. Same thing if I click 'New Posts' and then hit the arrow button next to the last poster's name to see what they had to say.

Hmm I can't reproduce either problem. When i click the arrow, it takes me to the last post in the thread - and when I click on My Posts, and click on my post (not the title at the top but the link in the post itself), it takes me directly to that post. The link with the title of the thread is meant to take you to the thread and not the post.

OK, I just tried it again and it seems to be doing only it on very long threads like the Word Association game, Nobody Cares, and the Second Life Picture thread. It also apparently has to be from 'New Posts,' 'My Posts,' or the link for the last 24 hours of posts. I tried Word Association from the main forum page and it came up on the last person that time.

It isn't a new feature - and I turned it on inadvertently - I turned it back off

Good, that was a disaster just waiting to happen.

Cris,

I know you're as busy

as you can already possibly be,

but, just a reminder, all those wonderful little links under our avatar pictures are still missing.

Beezle Warburton · 05-12-2008, 03:44 AM

Where's the importer thing for custom smilies?

Joshua Nightshade · 05-12-2008, 03:49 AM

You're right, it's gone.

Cris, it's back to doing this when I try to go to the last post of a long thread.

Sorry about that, that is related to the search engine optimization thing I have installed. I did an update of it yesterday and had to revert back to the previous version, and I forgot to fix that problem again - it is taken care of.

Sorry - Its not fixed- happening to me at the moment - When I click on the latest posts on the front page for the What are you Listening to thread it takes me to the first post not the last.
This url does the same :
