Do I really need VB3?
I have 2.2.7 Installed, it's running like a dream and I've been merrily installing hacks for about a week or so since installing it (you can view what I have installed currently here: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/forum.php )
The thing is... this seems utterly stable, it seems superb. And what possible reason is there to upgrade to V3 when it's out? The only thing I see from my view is that languages are now not hard coded into the php files and are all templated? If this is true then MAYBE I could make use of that, but I also have to think about how that could take international users AWAY from the English speaking forums more than they already are (we have a big Danish community on our forums as our host is Danish - the Admins are me (English, living USA), 1 South Africa, 1 (more) England and 2 Danish. We also host forums for a lot of online racing leagues (racing simulations) and I just don't see much point for me in VB3... Can anyone point anything out which is going to change my mind? (I have taken a look at the running beta forum of VB3 and I see nothing I'm all 'whoopie dood' about...)

Install vB3 as a test board and check it out, theres no harm in that, you may find something that is of real use to you. As for the lanuages, the CP is still hard coded in engish but there forums arn't IIRC.

Probably staying with 2.2.7, only just upgraded from 2.2.4 *lol* So unless my style can be converted easily or cheaply I'll be staying with 2.2.7.

:ermm:
I'm sticking with 2.2.6 right now, mainly because I'm too lazy to upgrade... But I plan on upgrading to vb3... I cant wait till it comes out... From what I've seen so far, I wont have to install any hacks! Which is great cause I'll need to spend the time working on the templates... And that permission system, man it just looks cool...

I upgrade almost as soon as a version 2 release appears, and re-install the 50 or so hacks I have running. I can't see much in vB3 for me to start dancing about, and won't be hurrying into installing the 3 series. Where exactly can the beta releases of vB3 be downloaded from?

They can't yet unless you are testing for Jelsoft I believe. There's no link for it where I saw anyway.
Thanks for the responses guys.

If your not mad keen on vb3 then it's probably best to wait for a "final" release rather than rushing to install the beta versions, like the rest of us no doubt
