Will there be any changes to co-branding for 2.0 final?

I believe there needs to be some tweaking in the cobranding features to make them more functionable. Specifically, the use of a default template set, instead of the global template set. Alternatively, making headers and footers replacement variables would work as well. Also, the ability to track where users sign up from and traffic per cobrand. I'm quite sure there are other ideas that have been brought up before.

We're looking to launch a lot of cobrands, and I may end up hacking some of these features in. I wanted to wait for the final release of 2 before hacking, however, if these issues are not going to be addressed, than I might as well get to work.

While I can't say these won't be in vB2 Final, there is very little possibility of them being there. Right now, beta 5 is looking very stable. Assuming it stays this way, the next step is an RC (release candidate), and the step after that is Final, or Gold. The feature set is frozen at this point, which is why I don't think it will be in v2.

I think making templates use default instead of global is very easy its not even a feature. It should be implemented before the final release.

There will be no changes to the features in vBulletin 2.0. All that is being done now is bug fixes.

New features in the template sets could possibly be added in 2.1

I agree should be a way to use xx template theme and xx header/footer.

I am sure most people would just need header/footer differnt without changing all the other templates etc.
