Yup at some point. Not in any huge particular rush. Rather wait a bit more for any security holes to be patched :thumbsup:

Hey. . . just curious here.

What does IPB3.0 offer over the version that BC currently runs on?

Will the differences be noticeable to end users, or are the improvements strictly administrative/design in scope?

Have a peek at http://www.mactalkforums.com/ to see IPB3 in action. Basically it looks more Web 2.0, and has more social-network features such as status updates, and if purchased as addons, photo galleries and blogs. Definitely better than vBulletin, I don't know why that's so popular among paid forum solutions.
