    What is this and why don't we have one?

    I was on a non-programming forum - that certainly looks like it's powered by vBulletin...

    And they have these little icons that appears to cough-up "keywords" in the thread.

    How do those work - and would they help us?

    although there color scheme is so absurd that you cannot read things like this menu until you mouse over them...

    As for the keywords things.... you have to remember that it takes about a dozen years for them to upgrade vBulletin around here.... and that's probably a newer feature that we should see in 2015. (Martin! Brad! I jest! I know it only takes 5 years. )

    That's a 3.7 feature. We'll get it in due course.

    Yea, and TG it shouldnt be more then a few more months til 3.7.

    @PG, 3.8 is already in alpha 1. Maybe vbf should just wait for 3.8 stability/rtm and upgrade to that instead.

    We like taking our time upgrading so that you guys appreciate the effort. If we simply upgraded when a release happened, then you would think upgrading was easy and come to expect it

    I jest.

    We've addressed upgrade delays with you guys before. With the number of forums we (Jupitermedia) has, Joe is always working on upgrades. Each site, however, has to wait for its turn. (So it is not quite 5 years )
