Well, it's now running on vBulletin.com. Heres the announcement post. (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1138579#post1138579)

vB 3.6 will include a multiple-quote system, tons of AJAX, a warning/infraction system, Signature permissions per group (WHT will love this :P ), uploadable signature images (no more external links messing things up, will also allow for control of image sizes in signatures.

Also one of my favorite additions is the improvments to the random image system. I can finally change the "unreadable" font and make it nice and pretty with different colors :D, as can other board administrators (I've seen users complain about how hard it is to read the font).

AJAX is becoming even bigger in vB, with popup views of attachments in a thread, being able to mark forums read or unread by double clicking, and reputation via AJAX.

And of course the features for forum admins, including Admin CP options validation (if you enter an incorrect value the admin CP will tell you), an RSS posting bot, and logging and statistics for the subscription system.

New features are being announced every day, however I felt that a nice list of the past 4 days would be helpful to all. I high encourage you to go check out that thread at vb.com though, it has tons more new features that I didn't include here, as well as some nice screenshots.

Enjoy!
Alex

Wow.
The warning system is similar to WHT's and a most welcome addition. The sig controls are to drool over. :D

All in all some major inprovements, and I'm looking forward to fooling with it.

I upgraded one of my mboards to 3.6 (after testing it on my laptop) and the signature manager thing and the warning system is sweet!

I would not upgrade a large or active community yet. But it would be nice to install a test site an play with the new features and see how old hacks and skins work.

And Beta 2 is out... I think I'll wait for Beta 3 or 4 or RC1 before I begin coding hacks.

Blerg i just installed beta 2 a few days ago to test, and beta 3 is already out.

Hopefully it continues to progress quickly and become gold soon.

Yeah. It's quite nice! :)

I messed with the Beta for a bit, but I can't exactly code hacks for a Beta :(. Hopefully it will become RC soon so I can start coding :D.
