<h1>vBulletin 6.1.4Changes and Updates</h1>
<p>A preview release of vBulletin 6.1.4 is available for download. </p>
<h2>Page Titles</h2>
<p>Administrators can set the format of their Page Titles in the AdminCP. Previously, this required editing the Header template to do so. These options are accessible in the Settings under Options -> Site Name / Contact Details. The Page Title Format has three variables available. These are: </p>
<ul>
<li>{sitetitle} - Your defined "Forum Name"</li>
<li>{pagetile} - The name of the page given when it was created/edited.</li>
<li>{pagemeta} - The Meta Description text of the page added when it was created.</li>
</ul>
<p>The default Page Title Format remains the same as the previous versions.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note: Some utility pages will still use the old page titles. These are pages built on demand. For example: search results and error pages. These cannot be changed at this time.</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Lightbox and Carousel</h2>
<p>Previously, the lightbox carousel could lose its position if the user scrolled or swiped through the images too quickly. This would cause images to disappear from the display. This subsystem has been rewritten to help prevent this from happening and to make it more friendly to touch devices.</p>
<h2>Ban Users</h2>
<p>Staff members with the Ban User permission are now able to ban users from their user profile. </p>
<h2>Automatic Infractions on Report</h2>
<p>Infractions can be assigned to users when their posts are reported. This will allow automatic penalties to be applied. Administrators will set this up in the AdminCP under Settings -> Spam Settings.</p>
<h2>Site Builder Logging</h2>
<p>Site Builder actions are now logged in the Administrator log. This log can be viewed in the AdminCP under Statistics & Logs -> Control Panel Log. Set the script to vB_Api to view the Site Builder entries.</p>
<h2>ReCaptcha v3</h2>
<p>This has been added to the human verification options. Administrators would configure it with their value keys under Settings -> Human Verification. The advantage of ReCaptcha v3 is that it can be submitted automatically based on browsing behavior. </p>
<h2>modcp Directory</h2>
<p>After upgrading, delete the <code>core/modcp</code> directory from your server. This directory is no longer used by the software. To keep your .htaccess file up to date, you can remove the reference to the modcp from it.</p>
<ul>
<li>In your .htaccess file, find this line:
<ul>
<li><code>RewriteRule ^(core/libraries/|includes|core/includes|core/vb|core/vb5|core/admincp|core/modcp) index.php?routestring=relay/404 [END]</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Change it to:
<ul>
<li><code>RewriteRule ^(core/libraries/|includes|core/includes|core/vb|core/vb5|core/admincp) index.php?routestring=relay/404 [END]</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Additional Issues</h2>
<ul>
<li>Updated moment.js. This script is used in the Calendar display and has had security issues identified within it. vBulletin 6.1.4 now uses the more secure version of this script.</li>
<li>Preview now works when adding videos in User Albums.</li>
<li>Administrators can manage template hooks under the Styles section of the Control Panel.</li>
</ul>
