vBulletin.org update: January 7th, 2007
 

As the New Year officially begins, many users are probably curious if any new changes will occur at vBulletin.org. The staff has spent a lot of time reading your suggestions and composing a To-Do list for the community.

Our main focus is to continue as the official modification resource for vBulletin by implementing new features which will make it easier for both the users who download modifications and the developers who code the modifications or design styles. We are here to support the entire member-base of the community.

We plan to roll out with these features throughout 2007 in stages.

Our first roll out will be this Sunday, January 7th. The site will be temporarily closed as we push out the first new features.

Many users have submitted their opinions on what color they wish the new vBulletin.org style should be, at the following poll:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=134067

We have carefully reviewed the poll and the new style will be revealed on Sunday along with some additional features.

This will be a great way to start the new year, and we thank all the members for their support and patience. It is going to be an exciting year for vBulletin.org! :)

You've compiled an style change that quickly?

New style w00t!

What do you mean that quickly?

ooo a new style ?

Looking forward to the changes in 2007; good luck staff!

Sounds like a plan... thanks for the hard work....

Who will be making the style?

i guess we will find out who made it on Sunday :)

[spoiler]

it wasn't me

Whos all on the GFX team?

good to hear and good luck with the changes

We are already working on changes for many months. The new style is one of the products of that process, and it was not created overnight.

Thank you very much indeed. :)

The Smooth Blue here is my favorite style. So simple yet good looking, gotta love it! I will miss it for sure. :(

So as said there will only be one style?

oooo what new features :p

Yes.






(.... ish)

Yes, only 1 style will be available. (More about this when the new changes are implemented.)
The new style is just a small part of the new features being implemented.

You will find numerous changes throughout the site.

Our Goals:

• To create a system in which we can upgrade/extend easily. (Not just for us, but future vb.org volunteers.)
• To create a more user-friendly environment.

Good luck to everyone! :)

Look forward to the changes. :)

Looking forward to the changes at hand. Have been waiting a long long time to see lol. :)

Wow you lot really know how to bush the boat out. :rolleyes:

Please give me the dark blue style or I'm gonna cry :(

I guess the site will close any time now?

Um its not sunday

No kidding, but I assume they will use UK time since it's a UK based company

Probablly sometime during the day of sunday UK time :D

Well, that's a saying that I haven't come across before. What's it mean?

Since our Staff is based both on UK and US, the upgrade will be done somewhere this evening UK time.

The change starts at 9pm UK time tonight.

This post is timed at 12:19 uk time.

Sweetness when does it come back live? estimate

Having experience of major forum upgrades and changes, I would have to say "when the job is done".

It's not normally possible to give accurate estimates as you never know what might happen.

So, in about 6.5 hours, nice. I can't wait for these changes to be implemented, they are going to be awesome!

oh well i'll go to bed and vb will have disappeared due to an unforseen technical problem thats erases the database...

or not.

Hard to say, but I would expect a couple of hours at the most.

*watches Paul hurrying around the office and looks at the clock*

8 minutes to go!

w00t :D

*waits for the purplish style to surface* :rolleyes:

Its going to be blue? That wont the vote

1minute !!

Looks like the transition is complete... awesome work guys! :)
