vBulletin 4.0 & Photopost Pro 7.0 coding issues?

[syrus.xl]

After upgrading my vBulletin to version 4.0 Gold, and also updated to Photopost Pro 7.0. I noticed that in the templates directory the vb4enhanced directory, which I assumed was the required templates to work with vBulletin 4.0.

Now, I am totally puzzled - vBulletin 4.0 is using strict xHTML, which is table-less and uses div's and css, but the vb4enhanced templates are still using the table tag in many areas. Is there a reason why this has been done?

For some reason, since I updated to PP 7.0 and I click on the Register link, I don't get the vBulletin 4.0 registration page, it now defaults to the Photopost Pro 7.0 registration system.

Are these just bugs in Photopost Pro 7.0? The xHTML issue has me totally baffled!

The templates issue as you call it is not an issue.

vbulletin templates still have a few tables in them its not totally tableless. We basically wrote up a set of templates compatible with the vb4 look and feel. We never have used the vb template system and have always had our own. They are xhtml valid always have been even when vb never cared about xhtml validity. We had a slim 6 weeks to work up compatible versions for the products that doesnt include time to redo templates to a fully non table free design. Not to say that might not be an option in the future. If you look at our categories table you see thats completely table free. I did do that one.

The new template system is the main reason you dont see vbGallery supporting vb4 yet. 6 weeks is simply not enough time to write a completely new template set etc. vb has been working on vb4 for well over a year and beta program was only active for 6 weeks before releasing it as gold.

If you click register on the photopost menubar and it goes to photopost I would think its not installed correctly but a url would assist in illustrating your issue better.
