vBulletin 3.7 First Look!
vBulletin 3.7 First Look! - vBulletin Community Forum
I had a quick read of the new vBulletin features planned for version 3.7, and I have to say, it reminds me of my favorite forum software, Invision Power Board.
Please excuse me while my negative personality picks apart the features.
Thread Tagging,
A rip from blogs and other things that include a tagging feature.
Public Messaging,
Digg ‘Shouts’ anyone?
User Galleries,
IP Gallery inspired maybe?
User-Created Social Groups,
Please, you can’t be serious… what a stupid idea for a built in feature.
New Profile Page,
This has Invision Power Board written all over it.
Profile Customization,
Great, now all those myspace people will be adding all their bright/dark colors and crappy pictures to their forum profiles now too…
Inline editing for Profile Fields
Is it me or does IPB have this too?
Edit History,
Hang on, I thought vBulletin was forum software, not a wiki?
Enhanced Inline Moderation,
Look, a Windows Vista feature! (User Account Control)
The rest of the features were actually quite nice, just I don’t see myself renewing my vBulletin licence any time soon, for one I don’t run a forum and secondly I’d rather use IPB.
