    Default VB 4.0 Updates -- Important Information

    4.0 Premade Skins Information

    We know a lot of you have been wondering where CompletevB.com stands when it comes to vBulletin 4.0 and the new release from Jelsoft. We know that the new template system used in the vB 4.0 requires a complete re-coding of the skin system that fuels the pre-made vbulletin skin templates we offer.

    Not to worry! We are going to be re-coding almost all of the pre-made skins that we are currently offering for sale. The only skins that are going to be dropped and retired with the new update are Paradise, Red Alert, Storm Runner, and Make Money. All members that have access to the downloads for these skins will continue to have access to the Customers Area for the downloads archive of that skin for any version up to vB 4.0.

    As for the rest of our skins, the staff at CompletevB will work hard to get the updates as soon as vB 4.0 is released but please remember that the updates are not the normal fix. We have to individually re-code each pre-made vBulletin skin to work with their new template system.

    New Options During Check-out!

    With the update to vB 4.0, we will be offering new options for customers to select during checkout. You will be able to add additional features such as a matching vBlog theme, Full CSS Layout and Design, Articles theme, etc... that will go hand in hand with whatever new features vBulletin throws at us!

    Stay tuned and check our forums regularly for updates on this. We will make a dedicated thread for this subject once everything is set in stone and Jelsoft lets us all know what we are really dealing with.

    4.0 Custom Skin Information

    We know a lot of previous (and prospective) custom customers have contacted us and asked us what we are doing about upgrading custom clients to the latest version of vBulletin 4.0 when it is released. The answer to this is simple. Since we have to completely recode your forums regardless of how long ago it was created, the base price we have in mind is around $250-$300 depending on your skin. If you would like to go ahead and just purchase a completely new skin we can honor this as well. All you have to do is check out our custom solution packages located here and contact us when you are ready to proceed with your order.

    We hope this clears up a lot of issues that customers have been having. If you have anymore questions please just post them here and we will try to answer them as soon as possible.

    Thanks,
    CompletevB Staff

    4.0 Custom Skin Information
    Can you confirm what's going to happen to active licences for users that have any of the dropped skins above, I personally will be going with vb v4 and have an active lic that appears to be getting dropped.

    Am I right in thinking that once I upgrade my forum to v4, that's it for the skin I bought 8 months ago?

    cheers.

    acco.

    We will not be updating those skins to vBulletin 4.0. Instead they will just have updates to any 3.x version up to 4.0. Depending on the release of 4.0, this may not even matter for you as your license expires a year after purchase and requires renewel. If it takes 4.0 another few months to release (which wouldn't be suprising), then you will have the option to buy a new skin for 4.0 from us for the same price.

    We will be releasing many many new skins as well as soon as 4.0 comes out and it makes sense for us to drop the skins that are not high performers.

    Hope you understand,
    Matt

    Thanks for the update!! That was exactly what I was hoping to hear, and absolutely understand the time it will take to get everything moved over. I really love the news about custom blog look, and other stuff! That has me quite excited. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!

    Most importantly, please do not worry if you have any of the skins that we are retiring with the release of 4.0. We will be re-designing them in a much better, cleaner, and more functional way, so in a way you will have the option to "upgrade" your look to a similar better looking one.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    I purchased Make Money a while ago to use as a basis for our site's theme.

    It's fair enough if it's a poor performer and not worth you updating but we'd be really interested in a similar style if you have plans to make one :-)

    Precisely Ragnarak.

    We know a lot of people have used these themes and want to continue using similar ones so that it resembles your older theme. The good news is that it will be significantly better with more options and a much more clean web 2.0 look.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Yes that is what we just stated... it will be updated and most likely redesigned into a much cleaner look but keeping the general style/colors/areas.

    So they will be at yet another extra cost to us or will the matching blog theme etc come free with the updated skin?
