Is it safe to install vb3.6 beta 1?
I was thinking of installing vb3.6 beta 1 but it was saying un-supported..... So do you think I should install it or not?

On a live board?
With real members? With hacks/mods installed? With a custom skin? IMO the answer to this is a definative *NO* For testing purpose, to play around and on a non-productive environment, definately yes, I love it so far. But I'd never put that on my live board. They say for a reason "Unstable Release" |

Its beta software, if you are willing to accecpt all that comes wiht it, sure, if you are not, and you are not a coder of any type, and not willing to deal with possible serrious bugs, then no.

It's not stupid at all if you know that you are taking a risk and you have the ability to patch things up that prevent your users from using the forums.
Jelsoft is running it on a live forum We certainly can't call them stupid, can we? Running it on a live forum is one of the best ways to get data to the developers about bugs and such. But, it's not something I would recommend most users do. You need to be able to understand code errors, database operations and such. Otherwise, you're just asking for heartburn and problems. |

If you do run it on a live board, just be sure to keep it as up-to-date as possible. Upgrade to Beta 2 ASAP, apply all released patches, etc.
Personally, though, I'd just wait for the final, stable release. Just run the beta on localhost or something, and use it as a testing ground for hacks, etc. |
