Do you use a "test" board to test your hacks out first?

[Sue]

I was thinking of just making a test board for myself to play with on my site, so I don't go screwing up things on my regular board . . .

if you don't do that, how do you test out hacks you've installed or made?

Dev-version of the board is The Only Way [TM]

[Sue]

Dev?

[Sparkz]

Dev(elopment) or test-version
Call it what you like, but that is The Only Way To Hack[TM] :banana:

I have a few Dev/Test boards, unfortunatly I don't tend to test all the hacks and record which ones I have installed properly and use, this will change when vB3 is here, I'm going to do things properly then

I sometimes use a testboard, if the hack looks major or if I'm not quite sure how it works.

I'm definately using a testboard of vB3 before I go live with it*.

*when it comes out

when vb3 is here, I'm gonna have to do all my hacks (or most of em anyway) over again huh?

Yup. Sorry. As far as I know, most of the hacks released for any previous version of vB wont' work on vb3.

hmm, i think i have about 10 testboards. three on my laptop and 6 locally here, so for some greater hacks i have a complete new vb with just this hack installed.

and after testing on testboards most of my hacks are also testet on my online board then..
