vBulletin 3.8.1

vBulletin 3.8.1 is the first maintenance release of the vBulletin 3.8 series. Maintenance releases will follow our scheduled release policy.


vBulletin 3.8.1 fixes a number of bugs found since 3.8.0 was released. Some of the issues fixed include:

• Rejecting a group transfer requests removes all transfer requests
• Profile privacy only hides information in limited cases
• Column mismatch when disabling social group messages
• Bad social group display when icons are disabled
• JavaScript error when dismissing a notice
• Social group icons not removed from filesystem/"new groups" list properly when deleted
• Birthdays shown on wrong day in specific cases
• Social group home page lacks proper float containment

A full list can be found in the bug tracker.


Social Group Subscription Temporarily Disabled

Due to confusion over the functionality provided, vBulletin 3.8.1 has temporarily disabled the ability to subscribe to entire social groups. You may still subscribe to individual social group discussions.

We are planning to improve this feature and re-implement it for the release of vBulletin 3.8.2.

If you wish to re-enable the feature yourself, you can remove the HTML comment around the "subscribe to this group" link in the socialgroups_group template.


Upgrading from Previous Versions

3.8.1 is a maintenance release. We recommend that all customers running prior versions of vBulletin 3.8 upgrade to benefit from bug fixes and stability improvements.

Full instructions for upgrading vBulletin are available here.
