Board Upgrade

A few more features that people have either missed OR aren't interested in (this first one is not active yet because I don't know what prefixes you want)

Thread Prefixes

Long requested by users, threads can now have administrator-defined prefixes to their titles.

Thread prefixes are divided into groups by the administrator, allowing different prefixes to be available in different forums.

Public Messaging

While private messages between users have been in vBulletin since version 2.0, vBulletin 3.7 introduces the public messaging system, allowing users to communicate publicly via their profile pages.

New Member Profile Page

In order to accomodate all the new features in vBulletin 3.7, the member profile page has been completely redesigned from the ground up.

The new page presents information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks using a tabbed interface.

Individual profile field categories can be displayed alone in blocks in the right column, in addition to appearing by default in the 'About Me' tab.

I think we should have a contest for the best designed member profile page for this part. What do y'all think?

Member Customization of Profile Page

The administrator may choose to allow his members to use the profile page customization tool, which allows users to alter fonts, colors, background and borders etc. of their profile page in order to create a more personalized look.

The administrator can lock-down customization permissions, in order to prevent the personalized pages being made too offensively awful by aesthetically challenged members... nobody wants to see some of those really ugly MySpace pages on your vBulletin installation!

And lastly:

Navbar Notices

Administrators can now set up custom notifications that will appear underneath the navbar when visiting users fulfil specified criteria.

For example, one may want to set up a notice to display when a user is a member of a particular usergroup, or to show a congratulatory message when a user has posted their 1,000th post etc.

Very nice! For headings: This just in! for news Question- and Important! should be good enough.

I actually prefer to middle click the wheel and open the attachments in a new tab (window). I can still do this AND the above, so it's a pretty cool feature!!

I just "This Just In"ed something

For one thing, I think it would be VERY useful to use prefixes in General Sports and Recruiting so that you can prefix your title with the relevant sport.
