Board software upgrade - 24th October

[Will T]

As some of you may have noticed, we performed an upgrade to the Board's vBulletin software this morning. This upgrade plugged a number of security issues, and added several new features to boot.

We're currently going through the list of available new features, and working out which ones we want to leave enabled, and which ones are better off in the bin. In any case, you may notice several (mainly cosmetic) changes to things such as User Profiles, Private Messaging etc.

As always, please take a moment to ensure that your User Profile and personal settings (accessible via the 'User CP' link) are up-to-date. Please note that the new software will no longer permit users to have a password that matches their username.

Finally, please post any bug reports or general feedback to this thread.
