    Hi everyone! As you probably noticed, we just had some short downtime. I decided to seize the opportunity of free time and boredom to deploy the latest version of XenForo on our live site. I also thought I'd take the opportunity to highlight some new features on the site -- they've been there for a little while now, but we haven't drawn attention to them yet.

    Board Updated to 1.3.3
    This update really isn't anything too fancy, just a few bug fixes. Previously, we were running 1.3.1; the bug fixes made for version 1.3.2 are...
    And in 1.3.3...
    Organize Pins
    Next to your posts, along with your user info and avatar, the three pins you were last awarded appear. The feature has been requested before, and now you can finally decide which pins you would like to show in your posts! To do so, just head over to your profile page, click on the Awarded Pins tab, then the Organize Pins button at the very bottom. You can then move the three pins you'd like to display in your posts to the top of the page!

    Export Conversations
    This is a feature that a few may have missed from our vBulletin days -- the ability to back your conversations up to your computer. You can export your conversations to a TXT, HTML, or XML file by selecting the conversation in your inbox (by clicking the checkbox), then selecting Export Conversation...

    Please note that very long conversations may throw a server error and are therefore impossible to export. We're looking into a solution for this and will keep you updated. We can't say what number of replies pushes you into dangerous territory, but just give it a try and see if it goes through. Don't worry, you won't break the site. :)


    These are just a few of the updates and new features we've got in the pipeline. If you encounter any problems, just let me know, either in this thread (if related to the update) or in the Feedback & Assistance forum. Thanks!

    Thanks for the update, Misty!

    XenForo is definitely a lot better and doesn't break many things during updates. I know that back on vBulletin, we were never up-to-date because so many add-ons would've broken.
