    official version: VBB 3.5.4
    current version: 3.0.6

    we are putting in AJAX - its active java things, lets you edit / update / post things w/o reloading the page. faster for you and uses less bandwith for us... major benefits for board guides also for mass thread / post handling and so forth...

    other than that, it will be pretty much business as usual...
    the beta install is about done, hopefully, bar any issues, i am to install by 3-4 pm.

    Hi folks,

    If anyone is around, we need some users to muck around on the test forums before the upgrade this afternoon.

    If you've time, please go to the link below and try testing as many features as you can, doing what you'd normally do. If you find any errors / glitches / strangeness, please report them here.

    http://forum-upgrade.moneysavingexpert.com/

    This will only be open for about an hour and this record in non-permanent and will not be seen afterwards so your posts don't need to make sense. Please, no abusive posts and please do not report abuse as it will go through the real process.

    Please note that this database copy was taken a month ago so new joiners may not have accounts and any passwords you've changed will have reverted. Unfortunately, we do not have the time to rectify these.

    Pass the word, the more the merrier.


    Thanks guys,

    Webby

    I pressed the "switch editor mode" button when replying and now the reply box goes over the right hand edge of the screen!
