vBulletin has released 3.6.9 today. So after updating my WordPress blogs, it’s time to update my vBulletin forums now.
From vBulletin:
vBulletin 3.6.9 is (for the time being) our newest ‘stable’ release version for use on production sites. Any customers running a version of vBulletin 3.6.8 or earlier are advised to upgrade to take advantage of the improved stability of the new version, which includes 159 bug fixes.
We anticipate this to be the final release in the 3.6.x series before it is superceded by vBulletin 3.7.0.
If you want to see some of the changes made, read more here.
I was so looking forward to this release. There are a tons of new and improved things, I can’t wait to update, I will be doing that later today.
One of the main reasons of holding off on installing my new theme I was waiting for 2.5 to be released. Here are some screenshots and some of the new things added and upgraded.
New Blog Theme Coming Soon!
I have decided to update and change to a new blog theme. I am currently in the process of getting it in all in order and hope to launch it in the next week or two. This one is just old, plan and boring now. I need to step it up!
Forum Podcast?
Ever since Lee Dodd stopped doing the WonLiDo Show and Patrick O’Keefe stopped doing his Community Admin podcast. I have really thought about starting one up. Maybe doing it on a monthly basis to start out with and then maybe to a weekly show. What do you think?
New Campaign
I just launched a new campaign today with Azoogle and GameFly. I know I might be a little behind with the video game rental business, but I thought I would try it anyway. Plus since my BlockBuster that was near my house has closed down, I have to go somewhere to get my Wii video games, I mean so my kids can get their Wii video games.
Have a great weekend!
Both have been sold and transfered to the new owners.
Thanks for the interest
First off, I love Popshops!
I have it running on a couple different sites and it does pretty well. When I was looking for a store to promote some books and some other things related to my demolition forum. I looked at BANS and then about a week later I found Popshop. After comparing the two and being able to control exactly what products I could place on the sites, I chose over Bans about 6 months ago to give it a try and I am glad I did.
They have made a bunch of recent improvements to their Popshops Pro and Enterprise Plans. Here are some of the new changes from the e-mail I received:
Add a search box to your shop! (Enterprise)
Affiliates can now give customers the ability to search across millions of products in their sites. You can find this new feature in your preferences box.
Custom Link Redirection (Enterprise)
You can have your affiliate links point to your site’s domain URL. Available in the Preferences panel in ShopBuilder.
Shop status reports (Enterprise)
Get stats and other details of all of your shops via RSS, XML, or CSV. The XML and CSV files contain the keys needed for third party tools like Web Merge if you want to manage your sites that way.
AutoFeed improvements (Pro & Enterprise)
You can now choose Broad (like it currently works) or Narrow results.
• Broad matches ANY keyword you use with ANY merchant you have in your shop.
• Narrow uses only EXACTLY your search criteria
Custom background colors in Styles
You can now add background colors to your PopShops styles. Look for the color picker box next to the margin, padding, and width in the style editor.
New merchant reports
Click our new RSS feed to see a list of the merchants we’ve added in the last four months. (Tip: Change the ?days=120 to the number of days you want to see and use this feed any time you want.)
