Hey developer(s)!
Any news on how the BETA for vBGallery is going? Any dates, hints, funtionalities news, etc......

I can wait to see how it turns out to be... hopefully as good as 2.4.3 with even more integration.

Thanks

As you could read last november, the Beta will be out "shortly".

We put the wrappers on the update last month; we're working on one more piece (a migration tool from vB's albums to vBGallery. I also thought the SWFUploader would have been updated by now and was hoping to just do one release with the improved updater, but it hasn't gone final as yet.

Instead of waiting any longer, I'll post up what I have this weekend.

Slight problem, we don't have a BETA section in our downloads area for vBGallery; I will have to set this up before I can make it available. Still working on it for this weekend.

I see there is no official announcement on the release of Beta. And I didn't get no email either. How customers supposed to know about it?

Betas we have never released emails on. We only announce via email blasts final supported coded releases. As far as a beta announcement Michael announced in the beta forum he would be posting a release that weekend.

I don't understand ALL ENTHUSIAST's modus operandi. Why wasn't it in "PhotoPost Announcements" forum where all other betas and official releases are announced instead of the casual customer-initiated thread? Isn't this product called PhotoPost vBGallery? Don't you think it would make sense to make it visible for paying customers?

Another grievance of mine:

vBGallery support forum divided in:

vBulletin 3.0.X
vBulletin 3.5.X
vBulletin 3.6.X

Where are 3.7.X and 3.8.X slots? It could be at least "vBulletin 3.6.X-3.8.X".
I can see how a prospective buyer or a up-for-the-renewal customer could get confused on the available support for the vBGallery and wind up thinking this product is two tacos short of updates.

I don't wanna sound harsh, but these things are begging to be addressed.
