[:plant:] Upgraded to vBulletin 3.8.6

Our previous version was 3.6.8, which is already two years old and incompatible with PHP 5.3. This upgrade rolls up several enhancements in the 3.x line over the past 2 years, including improved (?) user profiles, social groups, picture albums, built-in thread prefixes and (searchable) thread tags. Also, note that the private message dropdown to the top right has been replaced with "notifications".

Some issues still remain, such as upgrading the old thread prefixes (we'd need to create the prefix groups and convert the old prefix information to the new format). Sound off here if there's any bugs or broken templates you encounter.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the report, I've fixed the bug (apparently).

There's nowhere I can't reach.

But for reals, I found a hilarious bug on the Incoming Friend Request page; Evidently if people's current names are too long then the text wraps around to under their avatar as seen below:


also, not sure if this is intended or not, but if I have no notifications, it reverts to the old "Private Messages" uh, message instead of showing Notifications.

It's not a bug, it's a feature

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
