New WebHostingTalk Site!

in General
After many years on the same design, WHT is now preparing itself for a new site:
Thanked by 1MikePT

Finally will louse the users like webmaster talk before some years.
They have to bring the site down for a good part of half a day to make things work...I guess LET and VPSB must have pretty good traffic today
Advertising for a competing site?
Just to clarify, it's an upgrade to vB4. Similar design.
The design wont be changing much AFAIK
Here is a little sneak peak.

My eyes hurt now
Not a fan of it personally.
Jeez, 10 years since the last update and that is all they can come up with...
I just checked and it does look like the vBulletin default 4.0 theme will be available.
I'll see if I can convince someone at iNET to splurge and get a nice 4.0 theme.
Ugh so bad
"I don't like this new theme, they should go with a premium web designer with cheap prices"
Signature: "Premium web designer with cheap prices. Click here for my site"
Edit: Joking aside, just saw the screenshot and that is ugly.
Seems nothing new. They have that blueish template since many years.
They need to redesign their staff team first.
Presenting.. the new and improved webhostingtalk!!
WHT new design will be start crashing or hanging browsers ;P
Hope they have a new logo to go with it. The design of that site is atrocious!
and the green one here is still fresh!!!!!!!!
Gradients, rounded corners, reflections, AND drop shadows! That's almost literally a textbook case in 2005 design trends.
Indeed, there are some long needed changes in that area.

i'd just leave now if that happened. Vpsboard is better anyways.
Wait... I still don't know if this is legit or not.. because it looks exactly the same as the old one... Am I missing the joke or was this sneak peak serious?
It's basically the old one adapted for vB4
... well then...
Waiting for them to get smart and move to XenForo.
That's all they are doing upgrading to VB4. not a new theme or skin just the new software. Which is buggy as fuck and ugly.
I like the old more then that, seriously.
I agree
Version 4 It is not so buggy, we run a forum on it since 2010 and before that we use version 3 for almost 3 years, problematic version is 5 and designs can be easy adapted from 3 to 4...
Yep, any theme is better than that one.
