Forum Upgrade to vB 3.5.3

[thomas]

Dear Members,

I would like to inform you that I am going to upgrade the forum today (Dec. 23) to vB's latest version 3.5.2. The forum will be closed in the course of the day, the expected downtime should not exceed one hour.

Thanks for your understanding.

FYI: the upgrade has been completed. vBulletin 3.5.2 is primarily a standard bug-fix/maintenance release for the vBulletin 3.5 series. There are however, some new features:

Skype integration

You may now enter your Skype username, in addition to AIM, ICQ, MSN, and Yahoo. Calls, chats, and more may be initiated through vBulletin.

Natural language search improved

Natural language search (using MySQL's fulltext engine) should now return more relevant results, particularly when searching in a limited number of forums.

Getnew/getdaily now return threads in forums with "Can View Thread Content" set to no

These thread titles will now appear when clicking "New Posts" or getting posts in the last 24 hours.

As usual, post feedback and any error messages right here.

Thank you!

FYI: we have successfully upgraded to vB 3.5.3.

It is mainly a security update and includes a few big fixes.
