vB is looking pretty sweet...but, it's odd that this forum system is evolving into a social networking system, iMO.
Not really, to stay up with the times and technology you have to evolve products to meet new needs and thats exactly what vBulletin is finally doing. Glad to see them listening to what the masses are asking for
i would prefer to see the SN stuff seperate like the blog is... i do not need expensive profiles on most of my forums... same for bookmarking... a complete useless thing in 95% of my clients which are using the forum for local or private support...

I like expensive profiles, some people like a big package

In the same way as Invision Power Board and other software are trying to evolve into social networking systems. Seriously, just about everyone is trying the social networking thing recently...

That's the point though, it's more about for Jelsoft:
1. More features in package + low price +all in one without purchasing separate + mods = more customers. I mean, think how many are probably only buying webspace because of the features included? I bet it's similar for forum software sales.
It's good to see that the development is getting closer each day. I'm hardly waiting for the 3.7 release and can't wait to upgrade my forums. Keep it coming, Jelsoft!
ARGH, come on, not an update yet, i'm not ready...
I'm curious to know if there are any template changes. I know I have the option to revert the templates but I want them to be compliant. With 160+ template tweaks, and most of them major, I hope not all need to be changed.
Ahh...Then again, I went in with Beta so no complaints here. Just curiosity. Beta 4, here I come.
