Everyone,
Just want to let you know that the forums have been upgraded to the latest stable release of vBulletin, fixing some bugs and modifying some features that were/weren't available before. here is a quick breakdown of what was changed:
Feature Improvements
Option to control deletion of empty social groups.
Previously, users without permission to delete their own group could always delete the group if no one else was a member of the group. This caused a potential loophole, related to kicking members from the group. There is a new option to control whether owners can delete empty groups without the normal delete group permissions.
Tag delimiter now customizable.
Board administrators can now customize the delimiter used for tagging threads. The comma will still always be used, but this allows administrators to specify a language-specific delimiter (like an Arabic comma) or change to use spaces to separate tags.
Tachy Support for Visitor Messages and Picture Comments
Visitor messages and picture comments now fully support the Tachy Goes to Coventry global ignore system.
Upload Memory Improvements
The way file uploads are handled have been re-written in order to reduce memory usage, it is now possible to upload an attachment of several hundred megabytes while only using a few kilobytes of memory. This new method only works when attachments are stored in the filesystem.
In addition to the above, I have also changed the image upload settings to allow for a larger image to be resized by the board if you are uploading. The previous setting had a specific height and width, which didn't allow for landscaped pictures.
let me know if anyone has any problems or concerns with anything on the forum. Thanks.
