Alright, calm down! JEEZ! You people are like rabid animals, lol.

As said by John, there will be more info on vBulletin "2.2.0" sometime very soon. This doesn't nessesarily mean a release, but it probably will be.

Please stop asking when it'll be released, what new features it'll have, why its not out yet, when it'll be released, when it'll....you get the point.

Its getting annoying for me, and I'm sure the mods/Jelsoft are just as annoyed :p

I know what you mean. they had to stop coding today for a 3 hours meeting on whether or not to add "vbulletin" and "2.2.0" to the word censor list.;)

actually, all the excitement is kinda nice. while it may be a little bit annoying to see all the "give it to me NOW!!!" threads, it's nice to see that the product is in such high demand and that people are really anxious to see what the Devs have done :)

Here's the deal. I have to install software to integrate Web MD and an insurance company on November 5th. I have to finish coding and start testing an application to integrate a school purcasing site and a fund accounting system by this Friday.

If you could hold off on releasing 2.2 until after November 5th, I would be extremely grateful. I won't do my work if you give me new toys. :D

Of course I want the new toy. Am I looking forward to all the template mods and hack installations? Why do I do this to myself? Maybe it has to do with not being able to resist new toys. :)

2.2.0 :D

i think that i'd be more interested in seeing a changelog than a release right now... i wanna know what hacks i'm gonna have to redo... :D

ahh... i like the rating @ the bottom of the post... people might start to use it ;)

These are the current hacks that will not be hacks with the new version. I may have missed some, and these are definately not the only new features, but you won't have to re-hack this when you upgrade :)

MD5 Password Encryption
EZBoard-like "mark as read" and "mark forum as read"
Showmods

Showmods how do you know this??? i like the sounds of those...

what is the "Showmods"???

I know all :)

Actually, just by reading various posts. In reply to one of my threads saying how much I liked the new version, I think either Kier or Firefly mentioned MD5 encryption. Showmods is on the main page, and well, you can see the "mark this forum read" when you browse a forum :)

What you could've done though, is go to the lost password form and note how it doesn't send you your password, but makes a new one. This is because of the MD5 encryption :)

Yes, 2.2.0 has a few features I could use BUT more importantly, I wan't the developers to take their time with the release. A month or two is fine. I have seen disasterous results when stuff is "prematurely" released or to much pressure is applied. Just deal with it :)

On the other hand, something to think about is to release a Public Beta Version and let the "must have yesterday" folks pound away. Natch the documents and such should describe what Beta means with lots of CYA stuff. This Beta would be open to folks who are not part of the development team and could perhaps contain 50 or so folks with clearly defined procedures on how to log bugs/glitches etc. What say you geeks ?

OH MY GOD... steve, you shouldn't be allowed to participate in a 'lively upgrade' descusion. You must be the most cautious man in the world, it took you over a year to change from ubb to vB.. oh my lord! :D

Go away, stop giving the dev team ideas you evil little man, bah! :) :)

We thought about doing a public beta for 2.2.0, but we decided that we're confident enough in the solidity of this code to go straight for a release :)

Hint: look at forum jump.

Also, is vbulletin.com/forum/online.php new?

Multi-choice polls too.

And I also think the code has had a major makeover considering Mars and Jupiter coming up, 1 developer (i forget who) saying that this has layed(sp) down the framework for something, and Kier saying something about the upgrades needing a re-write.
