Re: What do you like about vBulletin 3.7 ?


I really don’t think so; if this was the case then forums with shout boxes and chat facilities wouldn’t be receiving any posts.

It might spell trouble for general discussion forums, where there is no topic at hand and people just chat with others. However in case of niche forums, it should promote interaction within the community and help bring people closer to each other.

Forum architecture helps facilitate liner discussion and this is the sole reason why forums are still popular, despite so many social networking sites. Addition of social networking feature is just an evolutionary step that forums would have to take or else risk loosing their members to large social networking sites, which are constantly trying to improve their forum architecture.

The navbar is a bit messed up, just because I haven't had the time to fix the old style and we had to add a few images.
Relatively painless

Re: What do you like about vBulletin 3.7 ?


If the style you are using isn't released on 3.7, do you have to manually change templates to get it to work? I'm worried because I really like my skin but I doubt the coder is going to release a 3.7 version at vBulletin.org. I'm one of like 30 that even installed it, lol. And it was the only skin he's ever released.

Yes, but vBulletin will help you out. You can compare the old and new template. It just takes a long time, but you can manually update the templates.

Or you can just revert it, like we did on several templates including the navbar.

I'm trying to raise funds for a new style by Miner, it'll run me about $500 and I'm shooting to have it when 3.7 goes gold.

Oh, so it tells you exactly what you need to change? I thought stuff would just look wrong and I'd have to ask people to help me fix it. :/
