I did not like the default theme too. It looked much better in the screenshots but when I saw it live at the vb demo link I was a little disappointed. It was like a stripped off retro theme.

Well the demo for beta 10 hasn't impressed me any.

I am very thankful they are releasing a general beta. This allows me to develop some kind of road-map for the future. At lest I can get a glimpse of the new engine and their new code structure. At least they are being upfront and saying it is not ready. I appreciate honesty. This is a better start then with vbulletin4. I personally think they are still rushing the release, but the developers were probably given a dead-line. Everyone has a boss.

So this is what the maintenance was for...

I'll ask here since Zachery doesn't know what I'm talking about: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...Facebook-Theme

I want to make a Facebook theme. Will this theme show up in Facebook or is the Facebook Connect aspect of vB5 only restricted to one skin?

Please remember it is only in Beta and you should not expect it will work perfectly. I would still recommend VB4 (which you still get with your VB5 license) for the time being for live sites.

I'll post some vB5 skins after someone lets me use their vb5 installation to make skins. Gonna post it on your site after I'm done.

I think the thing to keep in mind is the pace of development/fixes in vb4 in the last few months.

Now with the new code base development should be even faster and better than we have seen recently with 4.

So litmus test is not what we see at this moment, but how much it changes and how fast.

That is the interesting part, more so that simply saying something that is clearly in development 'sucks'.

vb5 and iphone5 the same day - Is it coincidence?

So did I really get banned for asking a simple style question? WTF?

I'll stay with vB4! Thanks anyway.

You can definitely have multiple styles on VB5, just like VB4/3.

But no it doesn't show up inside the Facebook App. Different styling.

No one was banned... (well you weren't at least) but there are a lot of temporary permission errors today- just reload the page they usually go away.
