vBulletin 4.2 Upgrade!

[xxMATTGxx]

As most of you are probably are aware we took the forum down this afternoon for maintenance. During this maintenance we upgraded the forum to the latest vBulletin version. This has brought a number of bug fixes, security patches to the forum. Normally these are all behind the scene and you won't notice them but there is also some new features and they are:

What's new?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Reputation Comment Notification

You will now receive a notification when another member leaves you a reputation comment - This looks like the following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Activity Stream

vBulletin have also included a new stream where users can watch the activity of the forum. At the moment this does it for threads and posts and can also be set-up for visitor messages. You can view this by clicking "Activity Stream" in the navigation bar or just by clicking here.

Mobile Skin

The mobile skin has been fixed during the past couple of vBulletin releases and it should now work a lot better than it used to. This does mean that you are now able to click on "Full Site" and it will stay in a non-mobile skin unless you choose to go back to the mobile skin.

There are still two mobile skins on offer: "Default Mobile Style" and "Legacy Mobile Style"
