vBDonate Gold, DragonByte Gallery Open Beta, AUT & APTL v3 Beta updates & Lite Beta

Rate this Entry
DBTech News

Firing on all cylinders here at Fort DragonByte this week!

The highly anticipated vBDonate has gone gold and had a lite version released. You can read all about the mod and the awesome features within here. It's a fantastic way to get your members donating to your site to help you pay for running costs - or for more DBTech mods!

The equally anticipated @DragonByte Gallery has entered the open beta stage, meaning you can now buy your own copy for your own forum. Features may still be added during this open beta, so if there's something you want to see in it grab a copy and let the developer know - it might still be possible to squeeze it in! Read all about it here.

We have had a number of updates to the open betas of both Advanced @user Tagging and @Advanced Post Thanks / Likes, and we have released Lite v3 beta's of both as well. You can read about the new features for AUT here, and for APTL here.

Decado's Corner

Hangover free this week! Big night of updates and releases tonight, vBDonate, Gallery, AUT and APTL all seeing updates & releases. Next few weeks are going to be pretty jam packed as well with updates and new mods

vBArcade v2 closed beta should be starting in the next week or so, so if you're interested and haven't let us know yet the comments for this weeks blog is a good chance to register your interest - open to current vBArcade customers only.

Finished all 4 seasons of Sons of Anarchy and it was incredible, I can't wait for season 5 to start in September, i'm absolutely addicted to the show and I love the suitably nuanced portrayal of the Scottish character, Chibs.

We will be doing quite a few product updates over the next few months, so if there are any products (in particular products by @Belazor) that you would like to see updated, let me know in the comments and i'll see what I can do. No promises but i'll take your feedback into account when planning the schedule. It's also a good time to go request features for your favourite mods so they get taken into account.

Last but not least, I am considering forming a sort of... brain trust focus group of regular customers who would give feedback on what we're doing well and not so well, where we could be improving and things such as this. In addition I would run ideas like our referrals scheme and such past them to get their input on the best way to do it and make it work. Requirements would be the ability to use/get skype for group text chats and a passion for DBT products. A willingness to pay attention to feedback on other forums and communities regarding DBTech is also a plus. If you are interested in being considered, let me know in the comments. It's not 100% that this is something we will go ahead with, but there's a pretty strong chance it'll come to pass in some form or another.

Looking forward to your comments and feedback as always!

Thanks for reading,

Iain & The DragonByte Technologies Team.

    This is an awesome week!
    vBDonate will be a hit in the vb.org community, it will be a relevant donation plugin, most of the donations plugins there have not been updated in at least 1 year.

    As far as vBgallery goes, well wow, it's amazing and I am super pumped for it!

    Decado, I'd love to be added in the focus group because I spend more time here than vB.org+vB.com.

    Count me in on focus group depending on times yadda yadda

    I noticed in your blog @Decado you have added an @ on the product name Dragonbyte Gallery Mod as there is no member called Dragonbyte it has successfully tagged the member Dragon shouldnt this be a hashtag to trend your new mod?

    First one to buy vBGallery! (I hope)
    Another quality plugin added to my collection!
    I've never been this excited other than collecting the Pokemon trading cards.
    Also I am looking forward to vBOptimise CDN integration, I hope the integration option is better than the vBSEO one because theirs unfortunately doesn't CDN all the content such as images,attachments,signatures,avatars.

    With that said, I am looking forward to see how vBArcade goes.

    P.S: Big shout out to Belazor for helping me extensively this week sorting out few issues with AUT & Like System.

    Sweet update and you can count me in for raising my hand for your brain trust!

    I'm getting back into the swing of things (vB) again and well... I'm going to have a lot of questions and get a lot of replies from @Belazor saying "That's not a bug!" but... I'll be reporting them anyway!

    A focus group sounds good

    I`d love to see vBDownloads updated with the option to name mirror links . That would be phenomenally awesome! I hope you can take it into account

    ^.^ @IcEWoLF I used to collect pokemon trading cards too haha, Pretty sure I still have a huge folder full of them somewhere...
    @Freekoid that was my bad in not properly tagging the mod - forgot the (beta) part.
    @Trekkan i'm sure he's DELIGHTED about that :P
    @hornstar haha the @ was actually deliberate - it links right to the mod that way. I'll need to start integrating hashtags into the blogs though, you're right.
    @sz1 that's actually @Dylans mod so it's not something that'll be updated in the immediate future, but it's on the to do list .
    @CharlieDelta You see the set up we have on our support forums where we can ask for or require certain info before someone can make a thread? That kind of idea.
    @Valcav @GoodApples and everyone else who expressed an interest in the focus group - thanks for the feedback! It's something i'll look into getting set up over the coming weeks and i'll keep you guys in the front of my mind when making it.

    @Decado, okay but you may want to update the links that point to user's profiles in your blog post such as user - View Profile: user - DragonByte Tech | vBulletin Mods & Addons and dragon View Profile: Dragon - DragonByte Tech | vBulletin Mods & Addons

    Because using @ tagged those users.
