A few screenshots of the new redesigned Element skin for vBulletin 4.03.
Release is getting very close, however during coding the facebook connect I found several unforeseen issues (like that it only works in the header template!) that have slightly delayed the coding process.
I have just about 97% of the forum completed, 70% of the blogs and about 25% of the CMS coded.
If I don't run into any other crazy issues with Internet explorer 7 and 6 I should have the forum coded by later today.
However I do wish to run a few more cross browsers testing and pretty much check every single sup page and hidden panel within vBulletin to make sure that everything is as perfect as I can.
On top of that I want to have the Blog and CMS ready to ship with the skin rather than have to re-releasing it again in a couple of days.
While I know this will be a disappointment to some (and some will be very mad at me), I feel that it is more important to get these issues resolved in this version rather than pushing them to a future one.
Thank you for your understanding, continued support and patience.
