Tons of new features, bug fixes, etc. added.

Some highlights:
- User Customizable Profiles & Custom Groups. Yes, like MyFace or SpaceBook.
- Integration with Social BookMarking like Digg.
- New Photo gallery Software. - Note, the old software will be removed somewhere in the future so start moving your pics over.

Other things...well, you'll find em. ;)


Any problems, let me know and I'll kill dem bugs deaded. :D
 
Cool!

Whoa... everything looks so different! This is going to take some getting used to... :erg:
 
I've got a little template tweaking to do still....
 
Tweak away, Bob... there's a lot of new fun stuff here! :)
 
(raises hand timidly)... umm... the n-new site looks fine but I was w-wondering.. umm... errr, umm... you... you know what?... I'll PM you about it... how's that?

Good job there Bob!
 
I have a question with regard to the old pictures some of us have in our galleries. There are a lot of comments attached to some of them that it would be a shame to lose. How do we go about transferring them from the 'Old' album to the 'New'?
 
I'm getting... dizzy, I think that's the word... from all these new options and possibilities...

I'm a dinosaur, I grew in a different geological era from the the one in which all this electronic information circulation and internet social interaction became the norm... This thing with photos, galleries and so on—I don't have mental cubbyholes to put a lot of this new stuff in... I can't even really articulate what it is that I find so perplexing about some of it, I just don't see how it all works together...
 
Ok what the hell I leave for a week and you make changes, OH well here goes another three years to figure it out. Thanks Bob!
 
Wow! Lots of changes! It's gonna take some getting used to but I like it. :)

There isn't any easy way to do it AFAIK unfortunately.
 
Most of the new features are reserved for supporting members (crating social groups, graphical profiles, photo galleries, etc).

Everyone can do some customization though, participate in social groups, comment on pics, use tag clouds, and hook into book mark sites like Digg.

Here's a partial list of what the 3.7x release has:
* Inline spam management & prevention
* Thread tagging
* Search cloud / tag cloud
* Thread prefixes
* Reciprocal friendships between users
* Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
* User picture galleries with user comment facility
* User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
* Extended member profile pages
* Customizable member profile pages with admin-controlled styling abilities
* Inline editing of custom user profile fields
* Lightbox viewer for attached images
* Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
* Extended re-authentication for inline moderation actions
* Notices system for navigation bar
* Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q/A
* User change history
* Social bookmarking integration
 
Another reason to become a supporting member. Thanks Bob :highfive:
