SMF2 has just been released and this will be another major upgrade to our forum software. This will once again mean taking the forum back to a default and then installing all the themes and mods from scratch. I am not in any hurry to do this and will wait until all the mods and themes we are using have been upgraded for this version. However I need to start formulating a plan for this upgrade now already.

So please take the time to select your top 3 themes in the poll above. What I will do is make sure when I do the upgrade that I will look at these first. If a theme is not even voted for I may just drop it. SMF2 has a new default theme that seem very nice so this will be our starting point :y18:

Major changes since the last release:

* Inclusion of the Curve theme
* Fixed a significant number of bugs reported by Beta Testers, Charter members, and community members.
* Optimized hundreds of queries for faster performance (with new indexes, re-written queries etc, changes to column type)
* Canonical link support for better search engine indexing
* Feature: ability to have different readmes in packages for different languages
* Feature: ability to delete languages (oops! we forgot that earlier)
* Linktrees have been re-added to the lower-areas of the forum. Also, linktrees have been added to the admin, moderation and profile sections.
* Lighttpd support for Queryless urls
* Improved support for right to left languages
* Fixed OpenID
* Extra fields to for Advanced Profile fields to surround/enclose within other text, and to choose placement as icon or signature.
* Several theme improvements for better semantics and standards support.
* Moved more JS out of templates
* Wireless links to switch back to normal mode.
 
Not sure when I will do it I need to allow time for all our mods and themes to be updated by the authors to be compatible with the new version. Apparently they did a database structural change so this is why it is a huge upgrade to do :tongue:

However I will give fair warning when we are ready but I just needed to see where I will start and what I will hit first when we do it :ya2:

Silli I can organize a nice pink theme for you if you like :y114:
