Will you upgrade to VB3.0 when it's released?

hmm i want to upgrade but i wont be able to until a few hacks for vb3 are done
for my site the top ten threads, arcade hack and journal are vital

I'm sure the hacks will flow in quickly after vB3's release.

Lord, you really think they'le have a journal?
They doen't even have an embeded chat ...

Not sure at this stage :dunno:

Will definitely download and have a play with it We have a number of hacks on our board, and l want be the person converting them so probably not my decision anyway.

Anyone know if the quick reply box at vBulletin.com for vers 3 is in the actual final release candidate (or whatever they call it). Not too sure about that one, and prefer the hack some one made for quick replies.

Looks nice and feature rich though, a speed increase is gotta be an advantage

A site with a whole category dedicated to Hedgehogs :lol: Gotta love that, and nope not being cynical about it. Just goes to show every subject is covered by some one. Have passed the url onto some folks in k1w1 land that are into them

Yep and i want to do the first GFX modification on it lol

I downloaded the beta 5 and think it's great. I don't use hacks but I do use one add on and that's the login on a non-vb page. The people here and at vbulletin.com have always been great with helping out. I commend you on your service...

Now what I don't understand is the position you are taking on not releasing hacks and add on's for vb3. Hacking a beta version is truely a bad idea. That I'll go with. On the other hand, add on's such as a non-vb page login, really has nothing to do with code modifications. Vbulletin.com even confirmed that no additional changes will be made to the login code of vb3. The whole point of releasing a beta version is to test it out and report bugs and such or was is just to stop us from asking about it? VB3 is great and I'll be the first to admit it. I'd even like to move it from my test board to my public board and actually see how it does. But without some sort of global permissions for my non vb pages I just can't do it. If I took down all of my non vb pages and had just the vb3 forums the members would find somewhere else to go.

In short, if they are gonna release a beta, then lets test it. If they are gonna release a demo, which is all I really have now, then lets call it that and be done with it.

Hacking late beta useally arn't to bad. Beta 5 and 6 are bug fixing and the new WYSWYG Editor.

I agree, as long as people who have hacked there vB don't start reporting "bugs" due to them hacking it. I've hacked my Beta 5 loads

Exactly! Releasing a few minor hacks that would allow people to actually use VB3 wouldn't hurt anything. Nobody runs just a bulletin board anymore. If they would include a front end in vbulletin we wouldn't even be having this discussion. To have that god awful forums homepage as your websites home page is almost embarrassing.

Well.. I'm playing with the latest beta version on my pc at the moment lol but I don't think I'll upgrade to it straight away when it does finally come out.. will probably give it a month or so first ... in the hopes of seeing some V3 hacks from you guys

No, because I dont feel like re-insalling the store, waiting for the arcade to come out, etc etc. Unless there will be a 10 minute way to install the store for vb3 and all those other complex hacks I spent hours and hours on, I will not be upgrading.
