We don't really get uploads other than pics - but now that you bring it up... yeah I think that would work just fine - store it all in the abums.

I wonder what the CMS is going to look like. I already have vB integrated with Wordpress. Considering the amount of content it's going to have [which is loads] by the time 4.0 is released, I'm wondering if it'll be worth switching over to, depending on what the vB CMS looks like & how it functions.

I'm not too worried about styles. I hope someone will convert the Retro Blue & Wild West styles though.

All i know is that we took a style we found and totally re customized it to fit our forums. Mainly made it look more macish. The 4.0 upgrade is gonna be a tough one. It will require alot of work on our ends and alot of our custom mods won't work.

Maybe you shouldn't upgrade. There are other boards that have been customized to the point where if they upgraded, it would just screw everything up.

Edit: question for creators about styling: since CSS will be involved, does this mean we won't need hacks that allow us to make profiles look more like Facebook/Myspace?

Heavily modified boards just means that you have to do a lot more preparation for an upgrade.

All CSS will do is change the way the HTML is displayed. It's just more efficient. The only thing it will change is the way styles are designed on the backend.

Interesting. I work well with CSS, so I'll be looking forward to this.

I think that would be awesome if user attachments were simply placed into the users albums.

The problem I see to have is people upload them into both the posts and into their albums.

Indeed... a centralized storage of attachments/albums into users account.
