Beta Time!
I'm interested in playing with some of the new features, and will be upgrading both the forums and the blog system to new beta versions.
For the blog, here are some of the new features:
Blog Customization - users may customize their blogs in the same manner that they can customize their user profiles (introduced in 3.7).
Group Blogs - users may allow other users to post to their blog.
Sidebar Blocks - users may create custom blocks to display in their sidebar. These blocks can be rearranged by drag and drop.
Custom Pages - users may create custom pages to be displayed in their blog.
Tags - tag support has been included.
Featured Entry Manager - multiple entries can be featured on the blog home page now.
Private Entries - users may set specific entries to be private while leaving their blog open.
Admin Categories - admins may define categories now.
And then we'll grab the vBulletin 3.8 Beta... which has a LOT of changes. You can read them on the vBulletin blog.
As there are a lot of changes, I will be turning off most current modifications, and adding back the ones that are still needed. A lot of the mods that I have installed are now default features. ^^
