Software upgrade - vbulletin 3.6.8

I just upgraded the software to the latest stable version.

You can use this thread for any questions or comments regarding the new version.

Is that why there is now the 'go to first unread' button on the new posts page? I really like that feature!

There's a few nifty features...like being able to see at a glance how full your inbox is.

I enabled the "similar threads" feature at the bottom of threads. We'll see how useful and accurate it is.

I love, love, love the multi-quote feature. No more opening a new tab for the thread and then quoting and hitting the back button ad nauseam.

Edited to add: The multi-quote feature does need an icon though. I can't see it in IE or Firefox (Firefox being the superior browser of course ).

I quite like this update. When you edit a post, you can still see the rest of the thread, which I personally find very useful. And the 'new posts' have improved too, I absolutely love how you can now see all the threads of today.

I still have to try the multi-quote thing, I'm so used by now by copying, hitting the back-button and quoting the next post manually.

Ah, so that's what it was. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why those threads appeared at the bottom.

Ah, very good. I've seen a number of these features on other message boards. I like.

Hope safari support is coming soon for it - I'm seeing a lot of little error images.

And why don't we have an option to make polls? Polls are cool!
