If we could only get $specialtemplates to work in plugins :D.

Ahh, but there is a work around for that now until they come up with something better. ;)

Really stupid question here, I know, but I'm new to vB. Will this $specialtemplates thing you speak of be fixed by 3.5 gold? As in, not requiring a workaround?

Your guess is as good as mine and that one. I'm sure sooner or later it will be taken care of, but just not sure when that would happen. ;)

What do you guys with heavily modded 3.0.x boards feel?

70-90 hacks in vb3.6 .... It was an ez switch. Many small add-ons can be ported or will be.

I wouldn't modify 3.0.X for any reason. Too much work. With my 3.5.0 RC 3 forum, I have over 15 different plugins and products installed plus vBAdvanced and vBA-Gallery...

Oh, the upgrade from RC 2 to RC 3? 3 minutes... Included uploading the files.

I still have a few code modifications laying around in my files but I am hoping to do away with them in time.

After doing an upgrade from 3.5 RC 2 to 3.5 RC 3 and not losing anything I am a beliver in the new plug-in system, it cut my normal upgrade time from just over an hour or so to under 15 minutes over internet and in just a few minutes over the local network.

My old upgrade method:

Download new files from members area
Re-hack the entire source with the .txt I make for myself for every forum I hack listing file modifications. (this can be anywhere from a few minutes to many hours depending on what forum I am updating :()
Upload freshly hacked files to server
Run upgrade scripts
Make sure forum is in good running order and do any template changes needed (for bug fixes)

My new method:

Download new files from members area
Upload files to web server
Run upgrade scripts
Make sure forum is in good running order and do any template changes needed (for bug fixes)

My dev forum still has a lot of added code over many files, but this is mostly stuff I've added for de-bugging.
