We're upgrading the forum to the latest version of vBulletin that powers the Forums, and manages the user accounts for the SitePoint Blogs, the SitePoint Marketplace, and the SitePoint Reference.

Most of sitepoint.com, including the SitePoint Marketplace, will be going down for maintenance for up to 4 hours (but hopefully less) starting at 2:00AM GMT on Monday, June 2nd.

You can stay tuned to updates at out development blog.

Be on the lookout for some new features in the release!

UPDATE: The upgrade has been complete!

Cool. Can't wait to have the new profiles of vB 3.7 on these forums. This shall bring the socials on SP forums to a new level.

Hope everything goes smooth and well.

P.S.: I guess you meant to write "We're upgrading...".

The latest vBulletin has more social-networking style user profiles - friends, a 'tag board' and so on

Nice move! vBulletin 3.7 has couple of bug fixes and more ways to connect to the members.

Great! We are waiting to see the new look of SP forum

I can only imagine the nightmare of designing a site around someone else's database schema.

Especially if I was using PHP.

I hope everything goes well during the upgrade.

That's true, it's like brain surgery. But SitePoint already has a bunch of talented developers who can do wonders.

Nah, I'm pretty sure brain surgery is a lot harder.

The forum upgrade went swimingly! All the new features of vBulletin 3.7.1 are now available (social groups, friends lists, new memberinfo pages, etc!)

Dan Schulz · Jun 1, 2008, 22:26

And yet the "Latest Forum Posts" link isn't working for me.

Michael Messig · Jun 1, 2008, 23:17

This is fixed now. Thanks for the report!

Gharibe · Jun 2, 2008, 01:45

The navbar is still unmodified to reflect the new notification system.

Anything in particular that's a must to use?
