VB Upgrade 3.8 RC1

[Ed Blown Vert]

Just upgraded to Version 3.8 RC1


Let me know if there is any issues.

Private Message Changes

Read receipts are automatically accepted when a PM is replied to.
A new Quick Reply can be used to reply to PM's.
A new user option is available to set the default value for 'Save Copy' which is also used with Quick Reply.
PM's can be ordered by Title, Date and Sender.
When ordered, PM's are grouped by:
Title - Alphabetical ranges (A-H, I-P, Q-Z, 0-9 and other) - Non ASCII chars are grouped based on transliteration where possible
Date - Today, Yesterday, individual day names, Last Week, 2 Weeks, Last Month, Older, etc.
Sender - Grouped by Sender
Private Messages can be filtered by Sender, Title, a given date period, and whether the message has been read or not.
Message Throttling. Admins can define a time period and the maximum amount of message each usergroup can send within that period.
Message selections are remembered over multiple pages for bulk actions (Move, delete, mark as read etc).

Profile Privacy
With the appropriate permission, users can now configure which parts of their profile is visible, and to who. The configurable components are:
Profile Picture
Visitor Messages
Contact Info
Albums
About Me
Friends
Recent Visitors
Group Memberships
Custom Field Blocks where the admin has allowed it
The components can be configured to be visible to:
Everyone
Registered Members
Contacts
Friends
Generally information is only hidden/displayed within the user profile page with the exception of Albums which also affects the ability to view the albums.

Albums

Pictures can now be moved from one album to another.
Album covers are regenerated when moving images if the cover is moved, or the destination album has no cover.
The default albums view now displays recently updated public albums.

Lightbox

Lightboxes can now be used to view all images in a post.
Next and Previous buttons can be used to navigate the attachments, and wrap when the first/last image has been reached

Other Changes and Additions

A new Terms and Conditions link is configurable and displayed in the footer by default.
A new Community link replaces the Members List link with a submenu for Social Groups; Pictures & Albums; Contacts & Friends; and the Members List.
Deleted and Moderated items in the User CP menu have been collapsed into submenus to reduce clutter.
A New Items submenu is also available with the newest Visitor Messages; Group Messages; Group Discussions; Picture Comments and Album Pictures.
Some cleanup has been done on the User CP menu to ensure only links that the user has permission to are displayed.
A new permission to view thumbnails in posts has been added. This allows users to see thumbnails even when they do not have access to view the full image.
Thread Prefix Permissions - Thread prefixes can now be configured so that only certain usergroups may use them.
Support for TypePad Anti-Spam
