    No my friend is a Charter member and SMF2 is on http://egadforums.com , I am a moderator there and the features so far are very good. Quite a lot of bugs, but we've helped SMF with like 10 bugs we found.

    Well the public BETA isn't out yet because there's still quite a few bugs in it, only out for charter members.

    As an admin of a 2.0 beta I must say it is pretty impressive with all the features and the new editor. :)

    I'm not even interested. I've already hand coded all the mods I need into my SMF forums like Signature Editor, banner rotation, PTP member tracking, etc...

    As somebody who has been using apache, MySql, SMF, CPanel, Wordpress and Linux for years, I know the perils of upgrading. Maybe if I launch another new forum, I'll try it out, but until then, I'll just stick with my personally hacked SMF install.

    I love the two new features introduced in SMF 2.0: Auto editing for templates when you install a mod and of course, the WYSIWYG editor.

    The member warning system is great too and the moderator control panel. Theres a lot more options for the admin too.

    I haven't seen those yet because I am not a chartered member. Hope they've implemented them nicely.

    there's 1.1.4 now.

    i'm a charter member.
    and yup, the beta version has a lot of bugs.
    the default features/mods are awesome esp the warning system ;D
