Same here - the new skin looks very cool, but I'm really looking for major new features like the CMS from a major version upgrade. I imagine it will come within the next month.

More than 1200 users online now in sudden!!! VBB is awesome!

Mine 3.8.4. has 9000 online users now, with 3500 logged in.

If 4.0.0 is dead with 1200 online... phew!

Ooops!

I feel like a broken record... but nobody has the new site cached yet. (css, etc.) So EVERYone is downloading it on pageload.

Their load right now is higher than yours.

It will speed up over the next few hours.

that record is broke, meaning it just does not work. I saw it with only 23 people online, hit refresh on the main page a few times ...the speeds were identical to the current.

As the confidence dwindles

I am using different nginX server to spit all graphics, js files and css files out. They're not. And it hits the production machine with jumping load. Simple rule to follow: split to spit ;)

Least but not last: none browser to my knowledge will cache their "css.php" header for example...

Well they say first impressions are the most important....

I like the navigation menu, I like it a lot... :D

Can't say much about the rest as I keep getting Site Unavailable :cool:, to be expected though - people are hammering it and nothing is cache either server or client side.

You know what bugs me the most though, the new "default" skin is remarkably similar to the custom skin I use now in 3.8. My members will kill me if I change it so I am doomed to being labelled as a lazy admin that couldn't be bothered to change the style. :rolleyes:

It's up, but VERY slow for me.

I'm now getting the following message

Getting a database error every time I attempt to view the vb forums. Anyone else?

It seems like they rushed it getting this alpha out.

It's past alpha.
