Real vB3 ACP Screenshots

[Velocd]

The visuals of the Admin CP are the last thing I could care about (as long as it can be read), more important is the productivity and efficiency

The new template system looks to fit those needs perfectly, or at least better than the current does. Cheers to the developers.

Freddie, as I heard our current style will not work, and if it does I heard there will be problems... you have to expect some criticism, I mean if someone like me paid a few hundred dollars for a style then it becomes useless wouldn't you be upset?

Of course this is what I have heard over at vbulletin.com so I am only assuming on what I heard.

Personally, If I have to buy another style for it to work with vb3 I will be quite upset.

[NTLDR]

The main problem I guess will be that variable names have been changed and that you won't have any new templates that are in vB3 or sections for any of the new stuff.

This is the major reason for me not using vB3, converting my style would take too long and the time involved will out weigh any advantage vB3 has over vB2 for me.

[Brad]

My main reason for not converting when its released is ive hacked v2 to my needs, when the time comes and i see something I must have for my site/forum that cannot effectatlly be hacked into v2 i will upgrade.

[Xenon]

well, i'll upgrade asap and recode my hacks then
i don't use a special style, just color changes...

[Velocd]

I'm with Xenon, except that my forum is heavily hacked and the style is not a simple color change. But I've mentioned it before and again, vB3 will attract much more visitors to your forum. New and improved always attracts.

I dont care anyway, it's a challenge and I'll probably just use Araxis Merge to get it done faster. The whole forum is not improved by just features, there are also less queries, which results in faster loading times. Now I just wait patiently for it to arrive!

perhaps some of this is already included

@Arunan: you are not showed as licenced here. Can you please reenter your email and update your profile after that?

Hey Xenon..Arunan was me...and well I was posting and looking at my hacks in the FUll Releases forum, after I signed up with that I added the email to the list..whats wrong :-/

[ArunanS]

Hey Xenon...I did it again, am I showing up as liscensed? I can access all the forums, and see al the threads..

[ArunanS]

I remember one or 2 of the vB developers saying they will have instructions for how to upgrade hacked boards...or something to that matter, don't take my word.

@Arunan: I ment your DrkFusion account doesn't show up as licensed
ArunanS does.

@Velo: Yes, recoding the hacks i use on vb2 will be the hardest thing for me, but the best way to learn the new structure
