    Here's a brief list of why we're moving to 3.5. Obviously this list contains elements which benefit you guys as members, as well as our administration team.

    The following is a rough summary of what has changed between vBulletin 3.0.x and 3.5.0

    * Product/Plugin system with over 550 'hook' locations strategically placed in the code. Allows modification and extension of vBulletin without physical alteration of the vBulletin PHP scripts.
    * Inline moderation allows multiple threads or posts to be have moderation actions performed without a visit to the admin or moderator control panels
    * Completely rewritten message editor with ability to instantly switch between standard and WYSIWYG modes
    * Thread title editing on forumdisplay via AJAX
    * Thread opening and closing on forumdisplay via AJAX
    * Super-Quick Reply on showthread via AJAX
    * Inline post edit on showthread via AJAX
    * Username suggestion for PM recipients and search by user via AJAX
    * Data manipulation APIs (Data Manager) for centralized data saving
    * Template History & Comparison for easy tracking of changes
    * Database-based thread and forum read marking
    * MySQL Full Text Search
    * Additional Datastore Storage Methods
    * SMTP Mail Wrapper
    * MySQLi Wrapper
    * PHPDoc'd Source Code
    * Moderator log language abstraction
    * Webkit support for style manager color picker
    * ImageMagick 6 Support (alternative to GD)
    * Calendar events support start/end times
    * Custom avatar and profile picture resizing
    * Profile pictures can be saved to filesystem
    * Statistics ordering
    * Each attachment image type can be individually set to generate thumbnails or not
    * Each attachment image type can be individually set to open in a new window or not
    * Moderated posts and threads do not contribute to post count until approved
    * Language chooser in footer
    * New bbcode parser now corrects invalid tag nesting to ensure valid HTML

    We're moving either next week or the week after. Its going to be a little bit of downtime for the site, so we'll set up some temp. forums or such. Plan for a week at the most, considering we need to move everything and need to move to 3.5. ITs doubtful it will take more than a day to get everything structurally working. Aesthetically though may take a bit longer. Worst case, everyone gets to enjoy 3.5 on the base vbulletin skin.

    More info on our host. We will be moving to WireSix. They are actually located here in Atlanta and host large forums such as IA, etc. http://www.wiresix.com/

    There was another thing I thought of the other day....

    Oh yeah. It seemed like there were more upcoming events than what I saw on the calendar. Maybe I was just confused. I can't remember where I saw the dates I'm thinking of but maybe it'll come to me.

    Good call, we've sorta slacked on the calendar. We're slowly working back towards everything.

    if you go under the settings tab on the blue bar at the top there is an option to see todays posts that should help if you cleared out your new posts.

    FTZ ^.^

    I would prefer to keep sigs down in size. Makes pages load faster. Just my opinion though.
