vBulletin 3.7.0

[Swede]

As you may have noticed the forum is now running 3.7.0. If there is anything not working, this is the place to tell me... (Oh, and if you want to you can just tell me how nice it is of me to keep things up to speed ;) )

How nice of you to keep things up to speed, Swede. :D

FYI to those interested - to see what new features and functionalities v3.7.0 has over v3.6.x, see here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/portal.php).

is decent
but I still don't like VB
much better than phpbb though - not that says much

Quite the upgrade over the 3.6 branch
Tagging available :D (wow, extrawide quickreply box too. Crazy world we live in ;D)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

(wow, extrawide quickreply box too)
I was waiting for this all the time! Definitely the most important improvement :)
(Using that extremely small edit box on a 1680 pixel screen was just ridiculous ^^)

Is there any chance for the edit box in the "Advanced" editing mode to become a bit wider too?

[Hard Core Rikki]

Seconded.
Also, would autoretrieving of titles from external links look desirable ? (more userfriendly than sometimes undescriptive clickable links)

Using that extremely small edit box on a 1680 pixel screen was just ridiculous ^^How do you think it looked on my 2560x1600 behemoth?

<textarea dir="ltr" tabindex="1" style="display: block; width: auto; height: 250px;" cols="80" rows="10" id="vB_Editor_001_textarea" name="message"/>


thats in the advanced posting box
you could create a small JS script to detect the screen reso and change 'cols' to an appropriate value
seeing as I can't think of any CSS to control that off the top of my head
the js function would only be about 8 lines though so not a biggie

edit
CSS3 can do it
style="resize: both;
or horizontal and vertical

Install Firefox extension Greasemonkey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greasemonkey) and add the following script:


// ==UserScript==
// @name vBulletin editor width hack
// @namespace misc
// @include *newreply.php*
// ==/UserScript==

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
var head, style;
head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
if (!head) { return; }
style = document.createElement('style');
style.type = 'text/css';
style.innerHTML = css;
head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('textarea[style]{ width:999px !important;height:444px !important;}');

Still doesn't use the whole screen, but much better :thanks:Just edit the script and increase the value 999 in width:999px to whatever is satisfactory for you. I have it at 1150px myself.

Also, for anyone else wanting to use the script, you might want to restrict the script to *forum.doom9.org/newreply.php* instead of just *newreply.php*, if you want to restrict this feature to just Doom9. I needed to do this because some other forums where the active forum area didn't fill the whole screen width, this vBulletin editor width hack pushed the editor width beyond the forum widths.

Swede/Doom9, I am unable to accept incoming friend requests. When I press Save Changes, nothing happens. The incoming friend request notification still remains. Same issue in Firefox and IE.

EDIT: Never mind, fixed. Turns out, I had to manually check the user name before pressing Save Changes.
