1225915 2011-08-25 23:20:00 I received a very cryptic email in response to my query about what new features will be seen.

It seems, though i'm not entirely clear, that this will be a small update, with the changeover to vBul4 happening in October. Will report back...

Aww... :dogeye:

1225916 2011-08-25 23:28:00 I was under the impression that the upgrade was going to be happening on the 30th of this month, based on the two stickied threads? Now October? Chilling_Silence (9)
1225917 2011-08-26 00:26:00 OKAY!

I have updated information.

The upgrade on Tuesday is to vBulletin 4, and we will be implementing some design changes and some dev changes that will enable us to complete plans we have for Press F1 forums in future.

If you're wondering what those 'plans' might be, it's mostly about ensuring that the website, magazine and forums are more closely interlinked -- which leads to...

We'll be asking for your thoughts in a survey, as well as seeking feedback prior to introducing new features that vBulletin 4 allows. If you have a list of things you'd like to see, such as embedded videos, please do let us know now or in that process!

As was I, but then a cryptic email threw me off the scent and made me wonder...

Now I can confirm that, yes, the 30th is the date for the VBul4 upgrade.

Additional features, however, will be after October, once we have a chance to ask you folks what you want.

1225920 2011-08-26 01:34:00 The sky is falling!
The forums are getting new foundations, TradeMe is getting flicked off, and"Fairfax Media slumps to $490m loss".
Things are grim; obviously meddling with Metla's motto is hazardous to corporate equanimity.

(With an option to turn certain features off - like this - as well - got to cater for those using old tech ;))

I read that whole thread and still haven't figured out who actually messed with Metla's avatar .

Clearly the new forum foundations are the most important aspect, however!
