Without giving any details away yet I will say the following as an early gift.

The contest has 2 parts.

The first part is not competitive. Anyone can win, and to varying degrees based on your forums level of commitment. If you can't wait til the 28th, don't despair, your fate will be in your own hands.

The second part is based on the first in a way and is competitive. We thought it would be nice to reward a few of those who went above and beyond in pursuit of the first part's goal.

I hope that wasn't too much of an enigma. Pat can confirm, but expect more details on the contest next week after Christmas.

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

the second part involves doing the staff's laundry.  especially Martyns.

Oh God.

Question. If we upgrade to the beta version early, will our forums automatically be upgraded to the full version once it is released?

Upgrading to the beta means your forum is upgraded to the full version (it's still considered a beta as we are working out some bugs, but there are only minor bugs left which is why we will be comfortable letting you upgrade before "full launch" which is when all forums are forced to upgrade).

[Wormopolis]

Any news on exporting plugin settings for when the beta boards go bye bye?

I've joined to create my own forum - guess I'll be holding back until V5, I like the default look of this Support Forum, I didn't notice know that it hasn't migrated yet. Roll on launch day!

Yay!

Now to the questions

Do the Beta boards go at the January date? The other date? Or do they have their own date?

[Thesealion]

What do you mean by backgrounds?

[AshFR]

Nevermind that post.

I'm ready to go for the 28th... Actually, I've been ready to go for the last couple weeks. I suck at contests so, I won't elevate my hopes that it will be any time sooner for me but, I will give it a try when the contest starts.

[Trill]

I heard the world is supposed to end another two more times before the full release.

That's later than I expected, but I'm guessing you have good reason and tons of things that really need to be ironed out given that this is going to be rolled out to absolutely everyone and will be available to the public. BUGS CANNOT BE ACCEPTED.

Also, v5 might be the reason for me to dive back into HTML5 and CSS and actually think about making some interesting plug-ins or skins CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.

lolnoob. Let's see that.

Awesome to hear that there's finally a date. You guys should post activity logs around that date to see how much of a spike there is in hits that your servers get.

[Nevada Mikado]

Yay!!!! Actual Dates!!!!!! Totally Happy now!

I'm game. Cannot wait for this
