[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5048415, member: 1"] ...because we've now bought vBulletin 4! Woohoo! So, in the short term, there's not much point us making tweaks and stuff around here (unless they're super-vital ones); I'm currently concentrating on developing the brand new site. I'm not sure how long it'll take. I've gotten it set up in basic format now, and we're playing with ideas on how to handle a data import from here, etc. Then we have to look through all our myriad modifications and hacks and decide which are vital, and whether there is a vBulletin 4 equivalent (in many cases hacks have become core functionality in vBulletin 4). The new site will have a LOT of changes. A different look, you may have to learn how to do things all over again, some new functions will be there whle some old functions won't, some priorities will change (some of the social stuff comes more forward in vB4) and so on. Remember that we have 10 years of hacks in this crusty old installation, and vBulletin 4 is brand new, so there isn't nearly the range of hacks to choose from. Anyway, that was just an update. No time-scale, I'm afraid, because I simply don't know, and I don't want to launch it until I'm happy with it. It might be next week, it might be next month, it might be in 3 months' time. But it'll be spiffy. :) [/QUOTE]
