im starting my upgrade now after refusing for so long.... i had vb 2.2.8 so 1st its over to vb 2.3.3 then over to vb 3 ... HOPEFULLY lol

Why wait till RC1 to hack when Keir said the code change will be very minor?

Because this is not considered a stable release, use it as a beta. RC 1 will be the version they *expect* to release unless bugs pop up (they will).

They have :)

And a few of their friends came to ;). I know there are bugs in the gamma, im talking about RC 1. :)

I love the new style, only the postbit is a bit boring.

The only problem I have, and the vast majority of the members at my site, is the default style is too damn bright.

We're used to dark colors like vBulletin.org. This one is quite blinding. It's too bad Jelsoft devs didn't make a dark style. :^/
(which mostly means having white text over dark backgrounds)

I installed it last night. I really hope that the final version doesn't mean installing Beta 3, then upgrading to 4, 5, 6, 7, and then Gamma. It was around 70 steps.

Just moved Gamma over to my live forum. The users love it, and it's running great so far.

It's weird, because even though it's more "busy" looking -- it's definately smoother. Odd. :)

Believe it or not but I still haven't installed. The more and more I wonder, I think it's a little bloated (and I know some people may feel the same ... but I'm sure the majority disagrees with me). Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of the vB3 features.. but there is a LOT that I don't need. I'm probably going to wipe out the coding that I don't want (like Karma) and change some additional admin cp code so it doesn't have so many on/off switches because I'm pretty sure I know what I want on and it'll be permenant.

Should I do this or forget it because it's a waste of time and doesn't really save resources?
