vBulletin 3.7.3 to be Released Next Week

[wickedstangs]

vBulletin a new release for 3.7 will be made on Tuesday, August 26th.

These releases will contain bug fixes, but will also address a situation related to users that use their username as their password. In 3.7.3, this will be completely disallowed. Users affected by this will be forced to change their password on their first login. Additionally, a tool will be provided to email affected users with a new password. Please be aware of these potential compatibility changes when upgrading.

This release will be mentioned in the security bulletin sent out to customers today, but we will not send a further notification next week when 3.7.3 are released. Watch your Admin CP News, or the latest version check in the Admin CP to see when the new version is available. Alternatively, keep an eye on this forum for the 3.7.3 announcements.
