You'll see it in the announcements when it's out.

why do you have to be sarcastic? When Vlad is ready he will release it.

Waiting with curious...

Everyone seems anxious for the new version to come out. I'm sure some of the features will be a great improvement.

I wonder if I'm the only one who has mixed emotions about upgrading. After months of customizing templates to how I want them, I'm reluctant to upgrade if it destroys  months of work.

From everything I read on the forum, it seems if you upgrade, you have to upgrade with the new tpl files as well. If only you could upgrade (php files) and keep the tpl files that you have been changing over time, it would be great. I don't know about you all, but no way am I going to remember all the changes I made to the tpl files.

I know there are comparison tools out there, but most are far from perfect.

Despite my reluctance, there may be some veteran up-graders out there that can provide a detailed guide on the best way to do it. Even better if there was a utility that could help with the upgrade.

I'm sure it will be here soon. When it does come, I will download it and hopefully I can play with it in a test directory to see if it is worth the risk of losing my current site customization by changing over to the upgrade.

cheers

I also agree with you, pals. When upgrade is out I'll compare it with previous  release to determine what is the easier way: to apply my changes to newest release or to apply newest release changes to my installation. And for now I can't say what way is harder since I can't remember all the changes I  made though I remember all the tasks they do. Even if to do again once discovered much easier work it's still hard work to apply changes.
BUT I really don't know how developers could help us if we are making our changes in core code... and even db.

From my expereinces with other php cms scripts that I have I use to worry about that but I foun that its not all that bad I keep a full copy of the site beofre I o it I also try to keep a folder on my PC of my customized files.
When it cxomes time for my upgrade I o it and usually only have to redo a couple of my changes
namely css file I first try to compare the 2 files if i coul remember what program i downloaded to do that.
an then the main tpl files

i mysel o it live and usualyy do not come up with any issues whatso ever.

The secret is an understanding! Read, download, implement and understand what you're doing and you'll never forget this...
If you clearly understand something most likely you'll do this again and again without any help and increasing speeds.

I'm sure you can play and learn with only one license. Nobody will blame you if you make one install on your PC for testing and development purposes. But you have to know how to install local server though.

Soon it is Christmas tongue I thought i will surprise my users with new version?

Hey i just bought vldpersonals  2 days ago im new and i will be posting here every so often.
Is there any new features that  the new version will have??  I'm impressed by vldpersonals so far. I thought it wasnt going to be that good because it was cheap. But wow its fast and i really like it so far. how hard is it to make your own custom design? Does anyone know where i could buy any skins? And hope to make some friends here!

Thanks that is exactly what i was looing for.
On another topic. I would like to get a custom template made. I am not very good at making templates and it will take me way to long. So i rather just pay for it. But do you think i would be able to get options like Links to new users, men onine, women online, new users. Search Advanced and Quick search, Showing all pictures in profile instead of a sepearate page. Showing online list and. sStuff like this, Is this way to much toask? Or they just do templates. And would it cost my hundreads of dollars? I don't want to email them yet. Maybe someone has some opionions?

Huraaaahhh!!! Release is out!!!
