Default Site Finished..?
Hey has anyone found making styles with vb3 a bit quicker i just finished up my site www.artorg.co.uk , it took about 2 weeks to make the old style but this time round using vb3 it took well under a week..

anyone else find it abit quicker and more user friendly, keeping in mind its still beta.

It's great! The CSS that's been implemented is brilliant and it's all very well laid out and thought out, I think the devs did a great job on the new style editor...

Edit: a note about your forums: have you checked it on a high res? I'm running 1600x1200 and the category background image repeats twice.

I'm waiting till it's offically released before I start anything with vB3. I've looked over it and it's okay, but I'd rather wait till all the bugs and the final style is done.

As for templating it looks a lot different, and maybe harder? than previously as they have all the IF statements etc in there. Plus as it is now the templates looks crap. Granted I've only spent 10 minutes in total looking over them.

To be honest, vB3 is not for n00bs...it's quite advanced, especially the AdminCP. Personally I don't mind because I'm familiar with vBulletin but I can understand from a newcomer's viewpoint that vBulletin is complicated.

However the style manager is complicated to those who have the utmost experience too....

I'm experienced with vB by over 2 years, but IMO the templating system will throw me off for a while; although I haven't really looked at it yet.

And for "newbs" ... uh huh, not a good way for vB to get new customers.

one example i had was adding an additional border round my forums. after defining it i then struggled for abit to get it to work using the css, but i got it lol.

theres also a few options that NEED extra defintion in css to work at all.. so be careful

I'm curious as to how you've done extra colors etc? Have you hard coded them?

For instance, before in vB2 you'd use { timecolor } etc.. but what are the replacement variables in vB3, I asked at vB.com and they said they haven't been fully completed yet. So what did you do?
