vBulletin 3.65 Now online

A new version of the forum software code was released this morning. It's a defensive release, as the bulk of the announcement about it was about an exploit scenario. There's a couple of minor fixes in this too.

If you use Internet Explorer 7 to access the forums, there were some changes made there, too.

There's the announcement thread about this update on Jelsoft's website if you want to read about it.

I'm going to take the opportunity to make a suggestion:

iSpy. As short as was my time on TLI, I really enjoyed that feature. If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link:

If you want to see it in real action, follow this link:

Would it be possible to implement it here, or not?

I know what it is. It's a resource hog. I generally don't like installing resource hogs, as it makes everything slower. While it might not be that BIG of a drain on it's own, you have to consider the overall traffic levels once something like real DNF news would hit.

You can use Who's online. It's close enough. :)

Then we could at least enjoy iSpy for a few years before then right? *wink wink* :D

[Joe Siegler]

I will not be doing this.

Heheh, you asked for it ;) When DNF hits the news, you know that there is nothing you can do to prevent this site from slowing down, traffic will be enormous. As for Ivan's suggestion, value of the feature vs. resources it would take = not feasible.
