Sau 3 Update

[PranK]

Hi All,

Just to give you an update on the latest version of SAU;

It is being built on Invision Version 3.1.X

I have rebuilt the Trader Ratings module from the ground up

It will use the new IP.Gallery module

It has new versions of the Garage and Timeslips modules

I will be getting a few skins so people can choose their favourite from a list

A new Classifieds system will be added after launch (based on the usual forum layout, but with extra searchable fields like location, condition, applicable models etc)

I know I said first quater 2010, but its only a few weeks away now. Support has been discontinued for our current version so I want to get the upgrade done soon. We have a large db and over 110GB of uploaded files to move and convert and lots of things to test, so the actual process might be lengthy.

Anyway, thats just what I've been doing. The new version will be super awesome.

Just to add, I've pulled off a branch of the IPB and putting together some addon modules that will implement (via hooks instead of hacks):

post and pm restrictions for newbies.

usergroup badges (club member/committee/contributor etc).

skin for iphones

admin panel to allow image management for the badges.

custom post colouring and signature overrides for banned/suspended members.

Thanks for providing such a great forum guys. Your work is much appreciated

Sounds awesome guys, great work. Love the idea re: classifieds, makes it easier to hone down parts that are close (especially larger parts). Now to just make sure people use that

Not to hassle, but is there any update on the donations process? Would love to do my (admittedly small) bit to help.
