vBulletin 3.7.0 contains a plethora of new features, many of which have been long requested by users and customers, while other new features will come as a surprise to everyone.

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 tagging is optional but will allow other members to locate important subjects with ease. Tags will be unmoderated so please do you best to tag appropriate references in your threads. For instance, if your thread contains information about a specific type of exhaust, tag the name ie. "invidia" vs' invidia exhaust or just simply exhaust. Anyone can tag a thread so please do some when you feel it is appropriate.


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.



Just a reminder, public messaging is not private. You will be held reponsible for anything posted. PMs is your best alternative.


User Picture Galleries

vBulletin users can now create albums and upload pictures to their account.



We request that images be limited to those of G37s/Meets/Members or other related topics.


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.

The new page presents information in a far cleaner and more logical manner, while dividing up information into manageable chunks using a tabbed interface.

Individual profile field categories can be displayed alone in blocks in the right column, in addition to appearing by default in the 'About Me' tab.




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.



* Currently this option is NOT AVAILABLE however I am going to do my best to have custom layouts preset or make it so users can do as they wish. We will keep you posted!


If you have any questions regarding the new features, your best reference is the vBulletin link. If your question is forum specific, feel free to contact a member of the Staff.
