Well, it's finally here! The upgrade most of you weren't even aware of and probably don't give a shit about has been installed! Yipee!
This is a major revision to vBulletin and includes the Publishing Suite software. This will allow me to give users the ability to write front page entries, or to promote posts written by anyone to the front page. I'm not sure what we'll make of it, but there's some potential there.
A side effect of this is that I have disabled pretty much every major module on the site until I can re-integrate things piece by piece. Since I can do that on-the-fly as we go along, I'll be working on that over the next few weeks. However, I figured I should bring the forum back up for you guys to use.
Let me know of any bugs you find. A number of issues may arise from the fact that I've installed the new version at the site root directory ('/' rather than '/forums') which can muck around with anything looking for the old absolute URL. That said, any links to the old addresses should still work, as I've set up a redirect.
Take a look at the latest features included in this release of vBulletin 4.0 with Publishing Suite, and let me know how you think we should set up CFM around those features.
Enjoy!
Don't worry - I'll bring the tools, you bring the jobsite.
All Man-fucker!
