Forum Upgrade by huwnet on 07-08-2005 at 07:36 PM
Is the forum ever going to get upgraded to 1.00 RC4?
RE: Forum Upgrade by user27089 on 07-08-2005 at 07:39 PM
WDZ has always said that he won't upgrade until MyBb Gold comes out.
RE: Forum Upgrade by Stigmata on 07-08-2005 at 07:57 PM
The version of the board we currently use is heavily customised.
wdz, before, has customised the latest version of mybb to our needs, and then Chris releases another version.. so wdz has to start again.
its less stress for him if he just waits for the final, as traxor said above, and im sure chris will give him a copy ahead of schedule.

When will gold be released and what's new on it?
RE: Forum Upgrade by -dt- on 07-09-2005 at 07:02 AM
:/ i dont see whats the point in upgrading , what fetures do you want I'm sure if its something good wdz will "port" it to this.
this forum works fine so i don't see why people want to upgrade

As stiggy and trax said, the forum is highly customised. This forum will be upgraded 4 - 6 weeks (approx) later than the release of mybb gold because it will take some time for DZ to look over everyline of code and ensure its safety plus add the extra features that we have here
I think thats all the info that is required for this topic

I just worry about all the little bugs I don't know about (or that I don't have time/motivation to fix) that might possibly detract from a good user experience...

* -dt- waits for the first fully xml based forum
xhtml will be pretty cool though will that aslo mean alot less tables used? , maby when you do use the new forum have like a transition like http://shoutbox.menthix.net/new would be the new forums so people can "beta" test it and report any little bugs that would distract from a good user experiance.

Tables rule.

I'd hate for this forum to be upgraded honestly. It is a very unique forum, thanks to WDZ! He has done so much customizing to the forum that in changing it, it would just suck to be honest.
I don't really like the layout of the new MyBB, it seems too... I don't know the word 
...

But honestly, I've seen forums running RC4, and I still prefer this forum with stuff like the reputation system that is here. Also bugs and exploits aren't a problem, since DZ keeps on top of them.
