We are now testing version 1.1 Beta 1 at this site. And we are releasing this to our Alpha testers. I don't expect it to remain in Alpha testing very long, then we'll move it out to our beta testers, and once things seem secure there, we'll do a public beta release.

We've been testing this ourselves extensively for quite a while, and I've been using 1.1 beta 1 in a live environment on a fairly active site for several weeks, and thus far nothing show stopping.
A taste of some of the new features in 1.1:

* A revamped Image Upload and Preview Process
* The ability to place uploaded images whereever you like in the body of your post
* Article Forums
* Favorite Topics
* Favorite Forums
* Calendar
* Mass Email Utility
* Forum Calendars
* Revamped post preview mouseover box (user preference)
* Hiding the session ID from googlebots (more search engine friendly)
* The ability to determine what forums incriment post count
* GD Library support for image resizing
* Cron scheduler improvements
* Custom forum headers/footers
* Option forum keyword for better search engine urls
* Post count based group advancement
* A variety of minor enhancements and bug fixes
* MyPaymentPal (PayPal interface)

We will continue to work with our testers to get this released. And in the next few days we'll setup a testing area here so you can see the MyPaymentPal functionality in action.

Curently only the following skins have been updated to work with 1.1. The rest should be updated by the time we are out of beta:
- Professional
- Crisp
- Oxygen
- Mercury Rising
- Argon
- Amicae

As always, thank you for choosing FusionBB!

Got 1.1 running on my beta test site. I did a full, clean install, took about 5 min for the install.
Will play with importing this week.

Looking good guys!

Josh- not sure where to post this:

I noticed in the Argon skin, that the buttons aren't showing up. (Guess you need to go kick that particular file to shake it loose )

Elsewise-- lookin' good!

:edit: Just noticed that when I posted my last post, when it refreshed- my skin was set as the Professional rather than the Argon (as it was with 1.0)....

Another cool thing that you might notice: clicking on the title of a thread will take you to the newest post in that thread. (This takes the place of that little down-arrow.)

This is a setting that you'll need to check off in your 'Display Properties'to get it to work: 'Auto Jump to Newest Posts'....

..... they've also added a Skin Preview so you don't have to totally load a new skin just to see what it looks like....

Lots of neat goodies-- well worth the wait

Is MPP in this beta 1.1 version? I'm not seeing it, but I don't really know where to look.

Yes it is but you won't see it if there are no forums to subscribe to.

This thread is listed at the bottom of the announcements topic list. Is this the designed behavior? The other topic lists look ok with newer posts at the top of the topic lists. I tried changing the topic list order, but no go.

Currently using the amicae skin.

Yeah, we should probably sticky this one and unstick some of the others. I'll do that now.

If you look towards the bottom of the first post of this thread you will see this.

Got it running on my test site prior to going live and it's doing GREAT! Just having some issues figuring out some of the new features, etc.

Yeah, we're working hard to support test installs and upgrades working out some minor details. Once I get a chance, we'll enable a test forum for MPP here.

As per skins, Not all skins have been updated yet. Jason is working on this.

Just so there's no confusion, we are no longer using the link to the beta test site, we had that up for to show you the early beta. This site is currently running the beta so are already using our beta.

Things are going well. Giving the alpah testers Beta 2 today. This has worked out the major kinks and test the upgrade process etc.... If that continues well, we'll perhaps be able to release Beta 3 to our private beta test group. I expect a few more issues to pop up, so perhaps a version or two there. Then we'll do a public beta. Then public release. Since it was so extensively tested, we're just dealing with minor server differences and upgrade issues etc..... the heart and sould of 1.1 has already been hammered on quite a bit.
