Hats off on upgrading the forums to vbulletin, this is a great effort on behalf of the admins considering the vbulletin is very expensive but this upgrade is sure to improve the browising experience and will make maintaining this place a lot easier.
As a result of this upgrade
Users will have access to a lot of useful BBcodes and the interface will be a lot more user friendly.
People will be able to use "Multiquote", so they can reply to multiple posts in one post
Reporting bad posts will be more efficient
You will be able to see latest thread updates in a specific section highlighted on the index page.
People will be able to easily see the updated posts without having to go through every section through the 'todays post' section.
Once you log-out your name wont be shown for hours on the "who is online" section
People will now be able to create groups where you will be able to have discussions and what not.
You can now add other people as friends or block them if you dont like em, you can leave visitor messages on profiles and whatnot
Everybody with their old avatars, will have to resize their avatars according to the forum specs. Its important because if the avatar is too big it takes a longer time to load the page and since lot of users are browing at the same time it puts a lot of unnecessay load on the server.
These are the few things off the top of my head, Admin Khan will be able to better elaborate on the updates
oh yeah and new emoticons, they'll be a lot better than the old ones :D
