I have had 2 major products on my site that were beta and worked pretty much as planned. Even a gold product can have unforeseen exploit vulnerabilities. One product I have, just went RC after a year of functional beta. Beta is good for building and adding features. RC is for fine tuning and gold is for stable permanent release.
Beta Isnt always a bad thing to do but being as I have a very large board, I would never run to upgrade. LOL Wait a few weeks and see what other brave souls pick up.
The coders of this great platform have to recommend not installing it, to cover there bums. Does that mean they dont really want you too? haha
The only real way to find most bugs in a product is to test it live, where it will get lots of abuse. KWIM? I thank the users that are live with the beta.. speeds up the process IMO. Jelsoft I would assume is greatful and looks forward to LIVE beta users too. All to often, its my users that spot the problems on my board not me.
I really would like to learn more about the yahoo replacement. I'm a total noob on this stuff and want to research it so I know what exactly it is doing and how its going to improve every thing.
