Well... Given all the trouble is it even worth it? After all, forums are for posting plain text (and maybe some emoticons).
 
yeah, auto-unbanning is one thing us moderators are looking foward to. ;) (You'll like it to, since Thunderfall usually unbans people in the evening..)
 
TF said that the new structure or something will allow him to save a lot of space - something about forum attachments now being separate from the actual forum or something.
 
as far as it allows me to post and read other people's posts, fine.
 
One nice thing about VB3 is that is will allow a 'preview' of the first post of a thread. Just move your cursor over the topic and there will appear a bubble containing the first line of text. Very, very nice. I've already gotten spoiled by a couple of other boards I peruse and am constantly hovering my mouse over Civ topics waiting for the bubble to let me know if it's worthwhile to click. Just a few more days now...
 
I don't really want VB3, but I what I do want is alittle notes section in the User CP, and TF said he'll do it once we get VB3.

Deja Vou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On topic:
what i'm looking forward to is the ability to subscribe to threads w/o an e-mail adress so i only have to monitor them from my user cp
 
Because TF was putting off any addition he could have made until vB 3.0 just to do it all at once.

He could just install the Notes hack (vbulletin.org) but like always, it's all going to be in vB3, so let's just wait...
 
I have heard that vB3.0 will give us a bunch more useful stuff, and will be better in general.

Heck, it is a higher number, its gotta be better, eh?
 
You can write something up and save it. You make a certain combination of keys that will make it type itself out. I don't really know what it is good for, just asking because I have seen it elswhere.
 
Doesn't sound like something that would be particularily useful except perhaps in PBEMs if you are posting to show the turn has been passed on.
