Hey all,
After the very successful Beta period for @Advanced Post Thanks / Like and Advanced User Tagging, we're proud to bring you another Beta: vBAvatars v2.0.0 Beta 1!
This version is immediately available to our Pro customers, and focuses on adapting useful features from vBSignatures as well as adding some new ones to the mix.
Firstly, Avatar Styles is now available. As you might imagine, this is a port of Signature Styles, and the feature set is pretty much identical for the time being.
For those of you unfamiliar, Avatar Styles is a way to let you separate avatar parts that are incompatible with eachother. For instance, you could eliminate crossdressing if you set up Male and Female as separate Avatar Styles. You also have usergroup permissions if you want to disallow people from accessing certain avatar styles.
Secondly is a new feature called Artists. Many of you have asked for a way to let artists able to access management features without giving them the staff powers that vBulletin kindly bundle along with AdminCP access, and we deliver. This function is fully featured, replicating almost all functionality from the AdminCP, along with the most fine-grained permissions system we've developed thus far. Keep this claim in mind when you're reading the feature list below
Thirdly, we're also giving you the ability to Add and Delete items from a person's inventory via the AdminCP. Great for awarding vBAvatars items as prizes for contests, or for punishing bad elements on your forum.
Last but by no means least, we've added a few smaller features and changes you've been asking for - more details in the feature list.
Without further ado, here's the complete feature list:
vBAvatars v2.0.0 Beta 1:
Avatar Styles
Artist Configuration
AdminCP Inventory
General / Other
Thanks for your continued support
