[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 1842923, member: 87"] [b]New Server Software Features & Wishlist[/b] Much talk has been done about the technical specifications of the new server, but what really counts beyond the speed of access of the pages, but what about feature upgrades? Here are some of the things to keep an eye out in the coming months - some of which I'll need to write. Also keep in mind that some of these still need Russ' approval. [list] [*]Upon moving to the server I plan to upgrade the codebase to version 3.0.3a of vbulletin which closes some security holes. The PHP and Apache code will also be moved to their most recent incarnations. [*]The top 20 site will be integrated into a full searchable links database and, yes, will continue to display a top 20 when such is requested. [*]The D&D/D20 reviews pages will be folded into vbulletin properly. In addition to securing the contents from hacks, it will ease the moderation of the pages. I image it will pad Crothian's post count by another 1000 or so as well, but who's counting at this point. [*]We've upgraded to a new ads server, but after the upgrade we'll be installing an extension to it that allows ads to be globally targetted.
