Heads up on new VBulletin features..
Hey guys!
IB has installed an updated version of VBulletin which adds new features. Please take a look and post any issues here please. This is not the update to correct the broke greater than -less than problem.
The following features are now available. Thanks!
Bob..
CKEditor with User Tagging
We now have a new text editor enabled as an option for testing. If you go to User CP > Edit Options > Message Editor Interface and change it to the Full CKEditor Editing.
This editor can understand BBCode and work similar to the old one but the source view is html and most html formatting options can be used. Copying and pasting from things like a pdf or word document will be able to match formatting as well. Normal editor shortcuts like CTRL+B for Bold, CTRL+U for underling, etc. now work. There is also a "table" option to insert a table. This editor also allows user tagging which means that using "@" and typing a minimum of 3 characters will bring up a username dropdown list to tag another user. The user will get a PM notification and a new tab on the user profile will keep track of all threads they have been mentioned in. Notifications need to be manually turned on right now with this setting under vBoptions. You can choose to receive a Private Message Notification every time you are tagged in other users' posts. Select Receive a Private Message Notification each time I am tagged
Reply All to Private Messages
There is now a Reply to All button for private messages. We are working to update the button design to match the existing buttons but we will have to deal with blue button for now.
Content Embedding
Our latest update to the media embedding feature will allow for the following types of media embedding:Vine, Instagram, Facebook posts and video, Twitter, Google Maps
Current Bugs
Not really a bug but the editor is WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) so it shows full images when inserting an image URL and can be hard to navigate with several large images if not in source mode."
