How close do you think we are to RC1?

[Lumina]

Ok, then after someone asks ?

[Scott MacVicar]

The style is coming on well a colour scheme has been partially implemented and the postbit template has been done.

Navigation has also been something thats being addressed and as Kier has been doing the templates the phrases are being surrounded by <phrase> as we have to phrase the templates too

No screenshots before anyone asks.

many of them never change the templates.

Wow... who would have thought it? I'm one of those people who can't resist tinkering with things.

[Rapid Gaming]

Not only that, but most customers do not post on these forums and many of them never change the templates.

I haven't changed mine one little bit.

[Kwak]

Yep! This really all boils down to Keir's work ethic. Not to put any pressure on Kier, but it's all about him now. Just Kier. If Keir takes a day off from work here or there, it just takes that much longer for RC1.

Again, not to be putting pressure on Kier, but he's got the spotlight. Kier Kier Kier. Did I mention that RC1 depends on Kier?




/me ducks and runs

Hahaha.

You are dead wrong on that estimate.

Exactly. It's been said that the templates will change from beta to gold, so I'm fairly certain most users that are running the beta are expecting the templates to change, so as a result, they didn't make many modifications.

I hope you were joking...because 99.9999999999999% of vB owners, have changed their templates...lol

[ManagerJosh]

if there is going to be an RC, most likely it is going to be a week or two before it goes gold...

[iDavid]

I would imagine a very small minority ever touches the templates.

[Tungsten]

I have been thinking about the same thing. What happens if the style turns out to be a total dud?

I suppose you skin it like most people will end up doing anyway.

I have to agree with Rylin on this one. Essentially release candidates are very fit and almost finished releases of software that don't require much of any work and they're just releases to check for any possible bugs left before going gold. Essentially the code is then frozen and no new features are added. So basically Jelsoft shouldn't include something as major as a completely rewritten style (I mean, for Heaven's sake that's one of the biggest visible changes in any vanilla vB3 installation anyone will first notice). So I myself would second a proposal that Jelsoft shouldn't push too much now, but instead continue with at least one or two beta released which would include the new style, so that any bugs associated with it could be killed easily. I don't want to install a RC which turns up to be full of bugs due to the new style.

how many times did you speel his name wrong there ? you better duck and run ..

Bah! Wasn't me... it's my crappy keyboard!

[DarkDelight.net]

The poll results look damaged, lol.

That would be a "This is a live development forum where they're working on the style" issue.
