I have just been informed by vBulletin (It's good to be registered :OO:) that v3.7.0 will be released some time next week. To be honest... when i saw the preview of the new vBulletin, I was stunned.... (PS - God bless we migrated from the v2 to the v3... ghax kont nidghiiii!!!)
Anyways....
This upgrade will include some kinky new features and updates, including...
Inline Spam Management and Prevention Tools - The new vBulletin will contain a new set of tools to help clean up spam and deal with spammers.... I KILL YOU.
Thread Tagging - A new way to facilitate searching and grouping of threads, it is now possible for users to add tags to threads they post or read.

Thread Prefixes - Long requested by users, threads can now have administrator-defined prefixes to their titles.

Reciprocal Friendships Between Users - As part of our new social networking system, users can now request that people on their buddy list confirm their friendship, after which time a person's list of confirmed friends will be viewable to other users.

Public Messaging: While private messages between users have been in vBulletin since version 2.0, vBulletin 3.7 introduces the public messaging system, allowing users to communicate publicly via their profile pages.

User Picture Galleries: vBulletin users can now create albums and upload pictures to their account.

User-Created Social Groups: To further social cohesion between users and to encourage people to make friends, vBulletin now includes a facility to allow users to create their own social/interest groups.

New Member Profile Page: In order to accomodate all the new features in vBulletin 3.7, the member profile page has been completely redesigned from the ground up.

Member Customization of Profile Page: The administrator may choose to allow his members to use the profile page customization tool, which allows users to alter fonts, colors, background and borders etc. of their profile page in order to create a more personalized look.

Attachment Viewing Lightbox: Clicking on an attached image will now open a lightbox rather than open a new window, with the image scaled to fit the browser viewport. A click on the image in the lightbox will open it in a new window as before.

Post Edit History: For boards where the history of posts is important, it is now possible to log all edits to posts and then review the changes at a later date.

Inline Moderation Enhanced Authentication: When performing inline moderation actions, board staff will now be required to re-authenticate themselves if they have not done so in their browsing session. This prevents the possibility of unauthorized parties acting as a moderator on a public computer where a board staff member has accidentally ticked the 'remember me' box.

Navbar Notices: Administrators can now set up custom notifications that will appear underneath the navbar when visiting users fulfil specified criteria. For example, one may want to set up a notice to display when a user is a member of a particular usergroup, or to show a congratulatory message when a user has posted their 1,000th post etc.

New Human Verification Systems: In addition to the image verification system available in previous versions of vBulletin, 3.7 introduces the means for the administrator to choose the verification system employed on their board.

User Change History: In order to track changes made to users' profiles by administrators, a change log is now kept for various user profile fields including username, usergroup etc.

Social Bookmarking of Threads: Administrators can now define a list of their favorite social bookmarking sites and have them available for use on the showthread page for bookmarking threads.
