Social Group Subscriptions Improved

In 3.8.1, social group subscriptions were disabled because of confusion over the functionality they provided. In 3.8.2, they have been improved and re-enabled. When subscribing to a group, you can now choose to receive a daily or weekly digest of the discussions that happen within that group. You can still choose to not receive any email notifications when subscribing to a group.

Group subscriptions which were created before 3.8.2 will not automatically send email notifications. These users can modify their existing subscriptions or resubscribe to enable email notification.
The only template that has changed in our skins is the footer template.

This is a non-mandatory change that will effect only a very small amount of websites:

Footer rendered incorrectly in Firefox when vBulletin is run on IDN domain

Updates to all of our skins will follow in the next few days.
