Yes.

I'm still learning stylevars also. It's definitely looking good though.

Ill be installing it as a test site to see if I can tweak the style into something acceptable

my biggest gripe is that the usernames are much less prominant

We are not allowed a test site on the internet without a license for it, you need to set-up a test site on localhost using something like xampp.

That's what I believed as well, this very issue was raised on .com, Steve said that we were not allowed to do it, a test site on the net will need a license. I figure it's safer not to take the risk really, I took down my internet test site just in case! Everythng we could do on a net test site can be tested on localhost so we don't lose anything, it's up to the individual if they want to take the chance.

You are allowed a test installation, but it must not be available to the public. A public test forum would need a licence.

No one should be trying to upgrade a LIVE forum, thats just asking for trouble. Its a beta, not a stable release.

I downloaded my forum and SQL db, running a local XAMPP server
with a identical copy of my sites, then upgradeing local before doing it live.

That way if a problem will occour, i know about it before i go live..
and by the time its going live, i would have worked around it aswell.

But unfortunally getting alot of problems upgradeing my "identical" backup of backup. :p
to 4.x and again fresh install is fine, but a hassle matching the db content from 3.8.

But im sure the guys at vb will come up with something fun before the gold release.

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:18 PM.
