Cell Phone Forums - Software Upgrades

We have upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin. There are several bug fixes and added features in version 3.6 of the software. Here are some of the features you will now see:

Multi-Quote
This allows you 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.

To increase usability, by default, only posts within the current thread are automatically quoted. If you wish to quote posts in other threads with multi-quote, you simply need to click a link on the reply page, and the text of those posts will be added without a reload.



Mark Forums Read with AJAX
If you wish to mark a forum read, you can simply click its status icon on the index page and the change will be processed without a reload. You can even mark individual sub-forums as read in the same way.




Quote Tags Link to Quoted Post
When quoting a post, the ID of the post is automatically included with the [quote] tag. When the quoted text is viewed in a thread, a small icon links back to the quoted post.

Example:
Quote:

New Buddy/Ignore List Editor Saves with AJAX
Along with a new interface, your buddy and ignore lists are saved with AJAX to prevent an unnecessary reload. Additionally to make the interface even easier to use, vBulletin searches for matching users as you type their names.




Default Thread Sorting Option per Forum
You may now choose how threads will be sorted on a per forum basis. Options include the field and direction to sort using.





New Buddy/Ignore List Editor
The new buddy and ignore list editor allows users to be quickly added and removed from your lists, with AJAX-based assistance for name suggestion along the way. If an error occurs such as a user not being found, you can simply correct the error and continue without reloading the page.



Pop Up List of Attachments in a Thread
The paperclip icon that denotes whether a thread contains attachments is now clickable. It will pop up a window that shows a list of all the attachments in the specified thread, including file size and number of views.

Give Reputation Using AJAX
Reputation can now be added to a post without leaving the page. When you click the reputation icon on a post, a box will appear and allow you to choose whether you approve or disapprove of the post and provide a reason.

Upgraded the UserCP left menu. There is also a new menu options at the top of every page for the UserCP

Its looks good once i figured out the problems i will post here

AltaGid, if you just posted response, then you are logged in. I can't help it if you forget your password.

The Arcade software has been updated to the latest version

When is the forum store going to be put back in place? CPF $$$ was something that made this forum unique and fun to spend time on....

I'm still working on that. The old system was taken off of the site where I found it because it was a security risk. Been waiting a while for a fix to come out.

A couple more backend updates were released last week. This includes the latest Apache build. Going to impliment some more things later to make things even faster

Did some more software upgrades today.

Now things are looking really fast

One more small tweek that was causing some pages not to load properly. This is fixed and everything is a little happier.
