Yup, when official will release just install it ... on the "home" tab of admin control panel, u will notice that you have "outdated templates" -- theses modifications actually ... just revert them and forget them
yeah, i completely understand your reasons for not churning out endless betas, so please don't think all my moaning/pleas for help are back-handed digs at your good self (or any other developers, for that matter)!
it's just that i bought xenforo a few months ago, and i haven't actually been able to implement it in my live environment, or even do much customisation in the test environment, as there seem to be quite a few significant changes coming with 1.1 (e.g. the punbb importer no longer works, so clearly something big has changed "behind the scenes") - so i'm just doing my best to justify the purchase in my head by playing about with it as much as i can! lol
thanks for a great style, and to everyone for their continued help
