vBulletin 4 Series Development Update

[Marco van Herwaarden]

If any dates are known, they will be announced on vB.com.

Am I the only one, going from 'last post' who thought that Marco's post would be an addition to the announcement that had just been said in the three minutes since I last checked this topic? Damn, I was expecting some kind of news update by the staff username on last post...

[smooth-c]

They're allowed to post as normal members aswell you know?

[cheat-master30]

I know, just been spending too long at vBulletin.com where the staff either post completely for announcements or 'you are not licensed please fill out this form'.

The VB4 thread i read frequently, and I have yet to see anything constructive.

phpbb3 style is vile I'd sooner go back to 3.6 than go to v4 if it anything like the look and feel of phpbb3

Definitely means no more tables, if this blog entry is to be trusted:

It isn't.

vB4's style is very elegant in how its put together and the underlying code is very streamlined. I find the overall style easier to use and anyone who knows CSS will find it a lot easier to customize. In fact, I would say 90% of customers won't even have to edit templates after its released. It does have some new gadgets and gizmos but they are well implemented and should be easy to change as well.

Well that's your tidbit from me today. I'd post screenshots but then I'd either have to send ninjas after you or lose my job so umm... not going to do it. I will add that overall, the thing I am looking forward to the most is the new style and style system. The capabilities presented through CSS alone are great.
