Are we all screwed?

[imported_Someguy]

I was reading the readme and I saw the part that says not to get too intense with the styling because it will change. Although it said only some templates I'm wondering if all the template mods here are safe to use, even with the new Candiadate and Gold Releases. I figure the 3 "golden" mods won't change (category spacing, category table above forum table and category images), but will the postbit or anything else that you have submitted here? This could be a threat (well, an annoyance) to many members, including myself, because I don't want to rummage threw Category Spacing v2.5 and see people asking why it won't work on vb3 Beta 4.

Yes and no, im sure the modified code will work. But the code your suppose to search for in the install readme will probbly not be there anymore.

It all depends on how far jelsoft gose with the new style, They could just make a new style with the templates there, they could change some template names. No one knows until we see it .

Well, like Tony said in the thread where I released my forum, I'm pretty much screwed.

It depends, but from what the Developers of vBulletin have said there will be major changes and I don't think any template will stay the same.

If you're like me, and already have a style for your vb3 beta 4 is it ok to run that until vb3 full release comes out? I'd rather have an operational cool style on an older board and port it over (by hand
) then switch to the full release after I have the forum re-designed.

Just use either 2.3.0 with your custom style, or 3.0b4 with a semi-custom style until the full release.

You're not screwed, you just have to put some work in. But what webmaster can't spend 10 hours working on their site in a month? (If it takes you more than 10 hours to convert, you should consider asking for some help.)

The readme warned people not to over-style with vB3 since most of your template changes will be lost. So, if you did that you will have quite alot of work ahead of you (Learning New Templates & Porting mods) when the new templates are in place.

i did converted most of them but this was to help me upgrade hacks etc as i can't stand vb original so it was more of a pleasure than an annoyance
