We have already fixed more than 50 bugs since we started RC3; therefore, I wanted to make sure you all had access to the latest build with RC4. There are still two known issues with the RC4 release that are important to be aware of. The fixes for these issues are currently being tested. If these issues...

[SIZE=4]vBulletin 3.8.4 PL1 / 3.7.6 PL1 / 3.6.12 PL2 An XSS flaw within the user profile page has recently been discovered. This could allow an attacker to carry out an action as a user or obtain access to a user's account. To resolve this issue, it has been necessary to release a patch level version of the active versions of vBulletin. The upgrade process is the same as previous patch level releases - simply download the patch from the Members Area, extract the files and upload to your webserver, overwriting the existing files. There is no upgrade script required. As with all security-based releases, we recommend that all customers upgrade as soon as possible in order to prevent any potential damage resulting from the flaw being...

Issues resolved by 3.8.3 include the following: Date picker in private message filter ignores start of week preference [27516] Last post title on profile page...
