VB 3.6.1 upgrade

[jw7]

Hey all,

Chandler Mike just upgraded this board to vb 3.6.1. This was mainly for security and deterring spammers.

There are some new features now. I will go into them later when I get some time, but probably the most noticable one is now that when you quote a post, there will be a hyperlink back to the original post in the quote.

here's a new feature i just noticed: when you mark a forum "read," it doesn't take you out of the forum. i like that.

 

[jenna2891]

sweet. if you search for something and it comes up with no matches, you're still on the search page.

 

[jenna2891]

there's a bcc feature added to pm's.

I like that too.

I don't like that when I click on an arrow on a thead name from the main forum, it doesn't take me to the last post anymore, ugh.

 

[jenna2891]

does the "view post" link in a quote come up as a red x to anyone else?

Ah, looks like it's supposed to be an image file.

sorry, i'm an idiot. is it just me?

No, there is an image needed for it to display right...and all I see is text, because there is no image for it...

ok, gotcha (i think).

Something I just noticed (and it might not be a new feature), was was that if you double-click the little box next to a forum that signifies whether a forum has new unread posts, it will automatically make the forum read.

i don't know if that's new or not, but i'm loving it!

when you go to edit a post, you don't have to "go advanced" to put the reason for editing.

According the the VB site, you can now do multiquotes

Yeah, right now it is turned off. I ran into a PEBCAK issue in testing and we have a small graphics issue to work thru, but I imagine this will be turned on soon.

Private Messaging enhancements

1. If you have your User CP set up to receive an email notification, you will get a preview of the private message text in the email body.

2. If you are a recipient of a private message that was copied to others, you will now see a list of all recipients copied on the message (FINALLY!)

I am loving both of these!

Wow.

This is cool.

Something that is odd I noticed is that, in addition to Jenna's post about marking forums read WHILE INSIDE THEM, the forum will be marked as read AFTER you leave the forum--for some reason it doesn't "reload" to show all the threads marked as read while you are still inside the forum.

For example, if you're in the EE forum and the top 4 topics are still marked as having unread posts, if you go to the menu and "Mark Forum as Read", the posts will still be marked as unread until you leave the forum and/or return to it.

you can also click a quote in another thread, in a different forum even and add it to your multi-post. pretty cool.

i don't have that problem.

They change to unread for me without leaving the forum at all.
