vBShop v3.0.0 Beta 3 Released!

Hey all,

After yet another week of adding features, we're proud to present vBShop v3.0.0 Beta 3 available immediately for our Pro customers.

Like Beta 2, this release focuses almost exclusively on new Item Types. This significantly increases the diversity of fun stuff you're able to make available to your members, and this latest update brings vBShop up to an impressive 33 item types - 16 for the Lite version (Lite of v3 is coming SoonTM) and 17 for the Pro version.

Firstly, we have new Style items for you: Post and Thread Title Style. These items will allow you to add the same flair you can add to User Titles as well as Usernames, to your posts on Show Thread, and thread titles on Forum Display. These items come in both custom and pre-defined variants. Pre-defined items are Pro-only.

We also have some Smiley based features: Create Smilie Category and Upload Smilie. The Smilie Category item will let members create categories that they and others can upload smilies to via the Upload Smilie item. This item also comes with a size restriction configurable in the vBulletin Options.

Finally, Forum management features: Create Forum and Moderate Forum. Create Forum will, as you might imagine, allow members to create a forum. Admins can choose what forums are excluded from becoming parent forums, and members can customise the title and description of their custom forums. Moderate Forum lets you sell a moderator position, with the same level of configuration as you'll find in the regular moderator management interface.
