Could someone from IPS please let me know if CleanCut, being an officially maintained skin, will have a GDK available for some of the images it uses?

Isn't that already there? It was a day ago...

Does this mean you will also provide a GDK? There are a few images in the skin set that I would like to modify.

Development is active, but very slow. Supposedly v3.1 or w/e has been promised for more than a year now.

The problem is few people used them, and they were often used incorrectly.

They're hoping people wouldn't have noticed it, most likely.

If you gave vBulletin a real demonstration, you would quickly find out that it's templates and skinning systems are just as rich as IPB's. vBulletin is as customizable as IPB is, it just works differently. Also, eye candy isn't everything, as demonstrated by the "Pro" skin of IPB 2, which cut out all the gradients, multiple colors, etc. vBulletin is still a very good product and worthy competition for IPB.

It's all subjective. People who regularly use vB think that IPB's tabbed approach is horrible, and vice versa. I've used both and I can honestly say they're equal for the tasks they need to accomplish. I'd even give a slight edge to vB's ACP in certain areas.

The installation had some stags during the early beta/RC stages, but the gold release was flawless. Everything has been working great so far.

I'd like, by default, for user group style formatting to be used globally on the board, including in topics. This is something vBulletin has done for a long time. It's a small, but nice, feature.

Yes, a bump feature would be useful.

Yup, happened to me, too. Luckily my installation was stock, so all I had to do was revert the CSS, the template and delete the replace image. But it seems the updated instructions posted a few posts above mine works properly.

It's amazingly stable, although I'm sure a lot of people will still wait for the first "point" release.

Out with the old, in with the new. I could never go back to IPB 2.x.

I use 3.7.2 PL1 and it seems to work fine for me. Perhaps you were using an older version of vBulletin? I wouldn't mind AJAX Fast Reply to be added to IPB 3, but make it an option that is not enabled by default.
