And no you won't see anything of it before we release - unless I take pity and add another screenshot :P
Naw, I wasn't going to ask. I like the idea of it being a suprise with the big new release :)

And sorry I didn't catch that announcement wherever it is, I only visit here sporadically just to see what progress was made.

I look forward to seeing the new style when the actuall release comes out :)

There are some problems with the fonts (line spacing, char spacing etc.) or am I seeing things?

What system & browser are you viewing this site on, and if you are using XP do you have a Lucida font installed?

Lucida Grande is set as the top font for post content as it is really nice on OS X. XP doesn't have this by default so uses Trebuchet MS instead. However, if you do have a version of Lucida installed on an XP machine then unfortunately it doesn't render very well - you'll probably see bad kerning (letter spacing) and font smoothing.

2000 with IE, Opera and Firefox. They look fine but the text does seem to be spaced unusually both character and line spacing. Did Acyd mentions some changes to theme lately? Come to think of it, it might just be the paragraph, as <p> tend to play havoc with line spacing in my blocks. Better ignore this post and I will change my glasses :oops: Many thanks. :?

I had this problem with the Lucia font, therefore the mentioning. If i install this font on XP this style looks really horrible. :) I removed the font on XP and everything is looking fine again...

Bah why would it ever be called vBuleting.

I can save 160$ by getting phpbb2 and adding a couple mods.
Like buddy list, topic description, etc.
And then with the 160$ I saved I can go buy a a RAM upgrade for my sever...
etc
etc
