Yep, it's a complete rewrite with no existing code being used. Existing plugins and themes will unfortunately need to be rewritten from the ground up, but we will have much better documentation for 2.0 including a quick start to migrating to the new software.

Also, do you have documentation for current themes on creation and 2.0 yet?

I'm not sure I get what you mean? We have some basic documentation regarding developing themes for 1.x now, but there's no release or documentation for 2.0 yet.

yeah, sorry. I meant for 2.0

It'd be kind of nice to have a theme ready to go, but I am being a bit too greedy.

But overall, nice work! I hope you do the best.

We'll have several Alpha, Beta, and Release Candidate releases before we go gold, so themes and plugins can start to be developed well before the final release :)

I use MyBB now and love it. The fact that MyBB 2.0 will be free, offer more control, have a real modern feel, and be fully responsive for mobile ... is nerdgasm territory.

Someone surprise us with an official hint as to when 2.0 gets here. :whistle:

Kind of difficult when we don't have any kind of official date in mind at all ;) It all depends on how well the Alpha/Beta releases go.

That did a pretty good job of holding back excessive drooling from me, but I'm still drooling.

I am looking most forward to it being responsive. I look forward to when 2.0 is released.
