Looks awesome!

[MarkB]

Of course it's awesome I don't really think much of the new icons, though - but the GDK is out now so I can always make my own

[MattM]

Yes, that's my only dislike with this version - the new images.

[michael_gersitz]

I like the new icons!

[Yoda]

I severely dislike most of the new graphics. I'll be keeping the ones I've already got.

[LMolineux]

Can you intergrate the new and old together?

[MarkB]

Do you mean can you import vB2 posts into vB3? Yes, there is a very thorough upgrade script.

If you want to use vB2 graphics, you can - but they have been placed in various subfolders now, so it's just a matter of putting the right ones in the right directories.

Ah ok thank you Mark. Because i am a member of a Weather Board called WWBB (Wright-Weather) and its using 2.3.4 but the owner might go to 3.0.0 Gold. And the graphics gotta be nice.

is the link in your signature or are you going to list it?

[Cloughie]

I like vb3... I have it running on www.wannabebigforums.com and its been fine. I still have some graphic changing to do and at some point i guess redesign the forums generally.

Chris is probably holding off because upgrading is a pain in the ***

[MarkB]

Well, it's not really - it just takes a while if you have a large forum, a number of hacks, and restyling to do.

Mine took me about 6 hours total - this included the upgrade, and redoing 50+ styles to include the latest CSS additions.
