We're looking at putting vBulletin 4 live this weekend.
As usual, a quick TTLG-ing of the style will be done before it goes live, and further tweaks and mods will be done when the forums are live.
When it does go live I'd like your help with reporting any bugs or anything that looks odd or works incorrectly.
Here's a couple of screenshots so far. This doesn't necessarily reflect what it will eventually look like.
e: hah you can totally see my hot bookmarks in the screenies. i am dull :cool:

Oooh, I was just thinking when the next upgrade of ttlg would be. Another of my favourite sites; Neowin.net recently updated their shizzle and their forums are going to Invisio Board 3 so yes! All for it!

The 4th reply from Digi is warning you to stop spamming isn't it.
What's the estimated downtime Dave?

That does look truly hideous at present. Will it be possible to port the current custom themes over?

No, it's telling him to stop posting llama porn. :mad:

And yeah, for an upgrade, it looks like a visual downgrade to almost VB1.

Will this upgrade give us better smilies?

The top of the page is a lot cleaner. And having a search input right there should be handy.
The main page is kind of hideous, but thread view looks alright.

I'm not a huge fan of the main page at the moment either, but I spent about an hour and a half getting the damn colours on the thread page to alternate, so the rest of it had about 15 minutes on it. I quite like the thread page, though.
I'm not sure of the estimated downtime, probably around 2 hours I would expect, although I am not sure.
Current themes are not compatible as the layout has been changed from table-based to CSS-based.
