Free Styles -

I just wanted to let y'all know that I will not be designing any new free styles for the 3.8x version of vBulletin.

The reason is simple - the release of vBulletin 4 is only a couple of months away, and all of my 'brain power' will be going into figuring it out, so that I can port some our free styles from 3.8x to vB 4, and also carry on with custom work. This in itself could take a little while.

However, I will absolutely continue to do custom work for this version.
I will also continue on our $50 promotion (http://www.themesbydesign.net/forums/view.php?pg=custom_premade_style).

If you have any questions at all, please do feel free to ask right here. I'll answer any questions that I can. :)

Thanks for your understanding.

Giving this a little *bump* :D

That sounds like a good plan actually, though I suspect that a LOT of vBulletin Owners and Operators won't be too eager to jump off the cliff with v4 when its released especially the ones that already have a pretty good sized custom MOD investment, at least until v4 is out where people can actually install and use it.

I have the nagging suspicion that its not all that its hyped up to be, however particularly in lieu of the fact that almost all the developers of vBulletin have abandoned ship as it were for whatever reason (they all seem to be pretty tight lipped about why they chose to - or were asked - leave as far as I can see though if you read between the lines on some of their comments, something seems amiss but you can put your finger on exactly what it might be, lol).

Well to dispel some of the gossip - I know, from personal correspondence with one of the developers, exactly why he left. While I'm not at liberty to reveal those reasons, I will say that he was not asked to leave. ;)

vBulletin 4 is a whole new ballgame as far as styling, and coding mods for it. It's certainly not going to be a walk in the park, that much I know. I'll find out more, when I start alpha testing. :)
