I've upgraded the forum system to vBulletin 3.6.0! This new version has next to bug fixes a lot of new features. Here are the important features:

Infraction System
vBulletin now has its own warning system called Infractions. This will replace the current warning hack soon. All warnings will be transfered to the new system.

Multi-Quote
Users can quote on multiple messages now. By hitting the small button next to the quote button the post will be selected. When you hit the reply button all posts you have selected will be quoted.

New Buddy/Ignore List Editor
The buddy/ignore list now uses AJAX. This makes it easier to add/remove members.

Mark Forums Read
You can now easily mark a forum as read. Just double-click on the forum status icon on the main page.

Signature Permissions
You can now see the signature permissions when altering your signature.

The other little new features can be read here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=186803).

All the templates needs to be reverted and some need editing again. Also some hacks needs upgrading.

I hope you like the new version.

Indeed, the multi-quote feature is a really cool feature. Now I don't have to copy quotes anymore. IPB already had this function, but I don't care if Jelsoft copied it from them.

All the templates have been edited again and should work fine now. The only style that's left to revert and re-edit the templates is the images style.

I added the list of installed hacks again to the first post. Soon the warnings will be transfered from the Advanced Warning System to the Infractions System.

I've installed a new hack that will resize posted images with a width of more than 500 and a height of 800. It uses Javascript to do it. This is to prevent large images ruining the forum style.
Members can change the preferences of this hack by going to User CP » Edit Options or by clicking here (http://forums.hellandheavennet.com/profile.php?do=editoptions).

I just upgraded to vBulletin v3.6.2. The new version fixes a couple of problems and glitches.

I'm doing some template changes again and soon I'll put the Halloween style online.

The forum just have another update (to v3.6.3)! This release fixes approximately 50 bugs and a potential cross-site scripting flaw (XSS) in Internet Explorer.
Luckily no template changes have to be made.

Also, I'll adjust one forum rule and that is the advertising rule. The required post count will be lowered from 50 to 25. The reason I'm changing this is the lack of activity in the Advertising forum.

User end - not rly, unless you encountered one of the 50+ bugs
Admin end - the safety of knowing the forum is one bit safer

And I've updated the forum system again to vBulletin 3.6.4! The new version fixed a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in the administrators control panel and several non-security-related bugs.

Next month the next update. :P

The new version is even better than the old ones are.

I wonder when you'll upgrade the forums again Zidane.

Probably not until Version 3.7.0 is released right??

Well nice job Zidane.

How can you run the Triple Triad with v3.6? I thought it only worked on v3.5?

Yeah. Our head admin says that it's only compatible with version 3.5, which is why he didn't download it. (Thanks to Zidane007nl for telling me where to find it. ^_^)
