Let me see if I understand your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

Let me see if I understand:

1. By the end of June,2022 everybody will be able to upgrade.

18 months after the end of June,2022 all forums will automatically become upgraded to V6.

2. My solid colors are in each theme's V5 template. My solid colors may get a changed- a bit. 

Other:

I have some codes in my V5 Style Sheets.

Some are hex colors, and some are for other things.

Examples: Margin codes, border codes and etc.

The part I highlighted above is NOT true. Open Beta will occur by the end of June 2022, NOT the release of V6. The 18 months does not start until V6 is officially released. The release date for V6 has not yet been announced.

It would be good if v6 could allow users to
- sort post lists in descending order,
- see unread posts with a different style (can be a background color or patterned background or border different than the others)
- select a theme from a list of themes -set by admins- directly from forum pages.

Waiting for the great day

This is a pretty exciting list.  The plugin webhooks could be an absolute game changer, possibilities are endless, could really catapult forums back in to the mainstream if people embrace it and the right plugins get written

Just to note: Feature requests should be posted in the Support Board. This is more of an informational thread and not really intended for feature requests.

NOTE: Not all feature requests may be made into a feature, but they do get reviewed and will probably get added if feasible (among other considerations).

After this update is fully released will our forums be updated to v6?

As stated previously, all forums will be updated to V6 - BUT, there is an 18 month transition period where V5 and V6 will both be running. The 18 month transition period does not begin until V6 is officially launched though (no ETA for release date yet).

Hi, everyone!

I was wondering if there's any news on the v6 Open Beta, initially expected by the end of June 2022.

You're all doing a wonderful job, so I'm just asking, no pressure!

Apologies for the delay. Check the Development Blog!

Hello! I just found out about v6 being on the way and I must say it's look really great - thanks a lot to everyone involved for making this happen.

May I ask if any date has been announced for when we can update existing forums to v6? (Testers)

I do not believe a date for that has been announced yet. As the next Development Blog post is overdue (last known update thread was posted July 8, 2022), I will give Michael a nudge (no need for "tar and feathering" from me right now, Michael ==^,.,^== ) and maybe he can post when the next update is going to get posted - which may or may not answer your question in regards to a specific date.

Hi!

Any news on when we'll be able to update existing v5 forums to v6 Beta? No rush, just asking, cause the work you do every day is superb!
