Is the "hacking" dead here now ??

[Tony G]

I've just been experimenting, not doing anything major until vBulletin3 hits RC's.

I agree they should be allowed in beta.

Those who chose to use beta hacks should be informed of what could happen.

Atleast then people be getting there hack fix and be able to share what they are learning in vb3.

I for one need my hacks !!!! and I am missing um lol.

There is no use in discussing our descission.
We don't allow vb3 hacks to help the devs, so the final version will be out ASAP. It's not our goal to make it harder for users to use their boards, we just help to come out of beta asap

It is also noted that the code and templates WILL be changing when RC comes out as well.

eh? Is there a thread at vBulletin.com that discusses this more, or could give the specifics to that a bit more Erwin

Just today I ported my home site over to vBulletin Beta 4, though I'm still working on getting the forum open and some aesthetic bugs fixed, but it is looking nice. I will say that the template editor in vB3 is entirely more convenient to use.

Read the "readme.html" file in the vB3 Beta ZIP file.

Take note this bit:

Here are some things you should know about this release:

The new style is not yet complete. The templates are based upon the old vBulletin 2 templates, so you should expect to see the new versions at the Release Candidate stage.
Due to the new templates not being complete at this stage, the templates still contain hard-coded text elements. This means that it is (almost) pointless to translate the templates, as they will change before the final release.
The control panels are fully integrated with the new language system. You can start to translate all phrases that you find in the language system and these translations will not be lost or made redundant when you upgrade to the final version. In fact, we would actively encourage non-english boards to attempt to use the translation tools so that we can get feedback on any changes that need to be made.
Right-to-left language support is included, but there are some minor layout issues that we hope to have fixed before too long.

[Tony G]

I'm only doing small edits to the templates and simple designs, as you know in the future they will be destroyed.

[Erwin]

Same here.

[N9ne]

Yep I've barely modified the code or templates yet, just waiting for RC to hit.

so me requesting hacks at the moment is a bit pointless then :cry:

Also, with way over 1000 hacks already released, the ideas are running thin.

not according to the requests forums

Yea, no point in making new hacks for vB 2 with vB 3 coming out so soon. I for one have put all my current hacks on hold until a stable RC or gold is released.

you still gonna release vbjournal pro brad?

[Xenon]

i don't have enough time to code hacks at all right now, and if i'd have i'd start porting over mine to vb3
