Changes and Updates in vBulletin 5.7.5
vBulletin Connect 5.7.5 is now available to download. vBulletin Cloud sites will be upgraded automatically in the next 7-14 days.Notifications
We have improved the handling of notifications. Upon deleting content, the system will automatically remove related notifications. Notifications will remain if the user has permission to view deleted content.AdminCP
We have moved more inline Javascript to external files to enhance security handling. Furthermore, we have resolved several PHP syntax warnings and notices. If you encounter any issues in the AdminCP, please perform a hard refresh or clear your browser history.NoIndex
In previous versions, a noindex meta tag could be placed on the rendered page when using a query string (e.g., domain.com/?post=1234). We have removed these tags from the content pages. The system will continue to add the canonical URL to prevent duplicate content warnings.Rebuild Topic Information
The General Update tools include update to the Rebuild Topic Information tool. This tool will now update rebuild URLs based on current settings. Additionally, if a topic does not have a meta description, it will create one using the first 300 characters of the topic.Additional Issues
- Strip comments and whitespace from files in vb.phar
- The RSS feed poster did not work correctly when run from vbcron.php
