This weekend XLF will be undergoing a major software upgrade. XLF will be offline for a few hours on Sunday during the upgrade.

I am excited about this upgrade because vBulletin has many awesome new features to include.

* Inline spam management & prevention
* Thread tagging
* Search cloud / tag cloud
* Thread prefixes
* Reciprocal friendships between users
* Public visitor messaging on profile pages with 'conversation' feature
* User-created social groups with invite only and moderated membership options
* Extended member profile pages
* Customizable member profile pages
* Inline editing of custom user profile fields
* Lightbox viewer for attached images
* Viewable and comparable history maintained for post edits
* Notices system for navigation bar
* Multiple human-verification systems including reCAPTCHA, image verification and Q/A
* User change history
* Social bookmarking integration

The Social Groups function is really cool and will allow members to create their own social networks. For example the SoCAL members could create a public group just for themselves and have an area where only members of this group will see certain messages. Also if you wanted to create a private group just for your friends you could also do that.

Thread Tagging will let you tag threads and posts with specific keywords which will help the XLF search function.

The vBPortal Content Management System vBulletin overlay will also be upgraded.
