I´ve seen a couple of boards around running a version called 3.4b9 - I take it this is the BETA 9 (last one hopefully  - but how did they get their hands on it?
Also great new frontpage look - loads a little slow, though

you should not ave seen any boards running 3.4b9 unless they were a private test forum of one of the dev team, the code has only been released to the dev team.

When the development team unanimously agrees that it is releasable. =)

Are they taking any steps to putting in an active users code?

Come on, admit it. You guys just want to see the downloads for version 3.3.03 get over 100,000.

No.
The decision as to when to release it will be Richard's he has been doing most of the work on this release, so when he feels it is ready he will release it.

Active users is buggy and doesn't work on MySQL.

i have a couple questions/comments about things i haven't seen mentioned anywhere.
1) when replying to a post, will the entire thread be shown, as it is now? i would think that the most reasonable way to do it would be to show the last 5 or 10 posts in *reverse* order, so that the most recent post is right under the reply box for easy reference.
2) does the new version use dynamically generated stylesheets to define how elements look? it seems like it would be more efficient than writing out the 100000 font tags used right now... i know they're not as cross-browser compatible as they could be, but with some javascript browser detection it could be made to work well...
i am *very* excited about this new release, especially with richard's assurance that data loss is very unlikely during upgrade. i think this next release will include all but a very few of the features that i'd envision in a forum... i can't wait.
i don't think it has been said enough (could it ever?), so thanks so very much for working so hard to provide us with this fantastic piece of work for free. it has brought new life to my site, and i can't tell you how much i value that.
ok, i'll stop now.

Dunno, doubt it, this is avalible as a mod somewhere around here though.

No, not yet.

I think reversing the order of the posts in Topic review is just as easy as search for:
'## Forum_SQL - Get all replies to Topic from the DB
and add:
strSql = strSql & " ORDER BY " & strTablePrefix & "REPLY.R_DATE DESC"
to the end of the sql string. And add
do until (rs.EOF or (intRecordCount > strPageSize))
Right after rs.movefirst
So if you have a topic with with 85 replies but you have your topics set to display 15 replies (strPageSize) per page your review will never get longer than 15.
At least that's how I did it for 3.1 SR4
That would take care of #1
