Webmaster-Talk is now running the latest version of vBulletin -- we just couldn't wait to get our hands on some of these new features!
There are still minor style related issues to be ironed out, but please do
report any bugs you find by posting a reply to this thread. Everything should be working as usual!
Anyway, here are some features you can use right away:
Multi-Quot
You now have the ability to quote multiple posts at once. On the far right side of each post where the normal "Quote" button is, you'll see a new
button. Once you click it, you select that post for quoting. You can select as many posts as you wish this way. Then when you click the "Add Reply" button to go to the reply page, all of the selected posts will be there in the message area for you.
Instant Marking forums Read
You can now quickly mark specific forums read by double clicking on their icon on the index page. This will instantly mark the forum read (also changing the icon to represent this) -- all without a single page reload. This instant marking-read feature is also used on the thread listings page. Click the 'Mark this forum as read' link and you'll instantly see all threads un-bold and their icons change to the usual 'read' state.
Quote tags link to post
When you quote a post, a link to that post will automatically be created. This is useful when you want to see an entire post or see the post in context.
Rate threads instantly
When you rate a thread via the drop down menu, it will be done instantly before your eyes without any page loads.
Attachments in threads available in popup on listing
You don't even have to go into a thread to view attachments anymore. Just click on the little paperclip icon and a popup will appear listing the attachments.
Block PM's from all but buddies
If you hate getting PM's from people you don't know, now you can block them all and only get them from people you add to your buddy list. (Note: staff are exempt from this block).
Instant Talkupation giving
Now when you click to give TP, a popup menu will appear. After you've submitted the request, everything is done instantly without any page loads.
PM's now support BCC
You can now send PM's with CC's and/or BCC's.
Pause/Resume attachment downloading
You can now pause / resume attachment downloads. Though you might not find this useful all the time, users on dialup downloading large JPEG's will!
There's more, but a lot of it is on the staff end
