SELECTED EXCERPT:

MyBB 2.0

At MyBB, we tend to keep 2.0 secrets close – it’s not that we don’t want you to know! It’s because as the development process moves on, coding and features are more than likely going to change so we don’t want to promise things that might never materialize. Rest assured, while many may think that 2.0 is a mere myth, it does exist and we’ll be walking through some of the boring stuff that won’t be likely to change.

We’ve made no surprises that Justin – our Lead Designer – has created the awesome 2.0 default theme. It brings sweeping changes to the thread and forum layout that will make MyBB stand out from other software, and contrary to a popular thread on the Community, it definitely does not look like vBulletin. While the software still has that MyBB look and charm, it does mean that we’ve had the chance to reorganize various other areas – such as introducing conversation-style Private Messaging, a simplified User CP and Moderation Queues to make things much more modern, efficient and user friendly. As you would expect, it looks and feels like a state-of-the-art forum system.

While we won’t be showing off the software just yet, we can still keep you in the loop.

Interesting.

Where on the board does it show what version we are presently using?

I hid that information for security purposes.

Ah, so when/if we upgrade (unless we already have) to Version 2.0 we won't know that either.

Well, maybe we will because we'll be able to see the new features that are only available in 2.0.

2.0 is a complete rewrite with a different default theme.

The change will be obvious.

But that is a year away from release.

No problem.

I'll wait here.



Anyway, I'd say the board looks much better since the change, so - so far, so good.

Just made a change on the theme.

Apart Sky was chosen by 61 members already.So I have made it the default and deleted ALL of the listed themes I had imported.The only other one is the default theme that came with the software.

Ah, themes like old times.
