Hello,
Over the last few months the hard-working vBulletin development team (John, Ed, Freddie, Chris and Jim) have been busy on the next generation software upgrade - vBulletin 2.0. The software has now entered a "private beta" stage, and vBulletin 2.0 is now being run at the following sites:

~ Nested forums (unlimited depth subcategories)
~ Upgraded search engine
~ GZip pages (to reduce page download time)
~ Much, much more!
New Admin Features
Big improvements have also occurred behind the scenes, in the vBulletin admin control panel. As well as an attractive new design, it's now possible to edit any single design element on your vBulletin bulletin board with help from over 300 templates! In addition, the software features over 140 forum options, that will allow you to configure the operation of any aspect of your forum. Here's a few of the other exciting new administration features:
~ Real-time forum statistics
~ Download / Upload template sets
~ Moderator's control panel
~ Revamped user permissions system
~ Improved support for moderators

Release Schedule
Currently, the developers are busy working on heavily optimising the vBulletin code and database structure, as well as squeezing out the last remaining bugs. We hope to release the software into the members area as a public beta very soon (within two weeks).
Please keep an eye on vBulletin.com for further announcements!
