Well it looks like the forum is back up and running but I'm not sure that the bugs are totally ironed out. The New Posts screen says no unread threads which is understandable if they have started from scratch does anyone else notice any glitches?
Edit also noticed the number of previous posts has gone back to one. I recon that will make some of the old folk a bit cranky.

Oh dear, all that good work down the drain. :(Guess there will be some minor sorting going on. Some new tools to discover - multiquote buttons, infraction cards - who's going to get the first yellow / red card I wonder :D

Just had a quick scan on the vBulletin forums and there are some nifty new things like:


Multi-Quote
The much-requested multi-quote feature allows users to tag multiple posts that they wish to respond to by clicking a small button on each post. Once the user clicks the reply button, each tagged post is quoted.

Private Message Preview in Notification Emails
If you have elected to receive emails when receiving a new private message, the email will now contain more than just the name of the user who sent you the message. The title and body of the message will be included. Any BB codes in the message will automatically be converted to an equivalent plaintext version using the new plaintext bbcode parser.

but especially....

Auto-Resize Oversized Image Attachments
If a user attaches an image that has dimensions larger than the administrator allows, the image will automatically resized to fit. This is similar to the auto-resizing of avatars that vBulletin 3.5 performed.

Hi Woodbutcher, saw you scoping around in there as well

Cheers

:)

I'm sure they will be back - the guys have been up all night rebuilding the site, then doing the upgrade, so there will be a few odd ends to sort out.

If you notice any other irregularities, note them here, and I'll pass 'em on.
