FAQ

When will it be released?

The MyBB Developers have told many people this, it will be released when they believe its ready. If you look at the SVN access, you will see that the MyBB team gets at least 10-20 bug reports a day on MyBB 1.6. Just be patient.

Will themes and plugins need to be re-writed?

No,plugins will work fine, however you may need to do some minor tweaking. However in MyBB 2.0 (currently in planning) there will be major core changes. Themes will not work, however all you should need to do is some minor tweaking.

Once MyBB 1.6 is released, should I upgrade immediately?

Like all MyBB upgrades, it is recommended however when it is first released, it may be "beta". Most people though will not be upgrading immediately.

Yea not released yet obviously.
However i was expecting the last release to fix one problem i have got.
When you edit you get a weird number appear. Only after the edit and its not actually there when you refresh the page.
Still it pisses me off.
I really hope they can fix that.

I normally would not upgrade to beta till it is released as stable release.
