As vB4x gold version is expected around in next 2 months and lot of discussions and arguments going on vB.com and vB,org…
Initially i have not been invited for the private alpha testing of the vb4 version! which i expected a lot and was awaiting the invitation from Ray Morgan, as lot of other new designers has been invited for the alpha testing…
Not sure for the reason i have been not selected, in fact of my dedicated contributions of free vb skins to the community for the past 5yrs from 2005…
I am the #1 contributor of free skins on the net, also at vB.org, you can check the stats check here
my registered name there is ‘foruma-z’ at vb.org and you will find my name among the top designer/contributor…
I feel very neglected and feel bad and wonder whats the point of my hard dedication work/and the contributions i have done in the past 5yrs for the vB community, when there is no Recognition for it?
And i read this announcement thread posted by Ray recently at vB.com click here and applied for inclusion of my name for the private beta testing, hope this time i will be included…
Hoping for good…


I hope you get the invitation Miner you definitely deserve it!
Miner, you are the best vBulletin designer, you should get the invitation.
Thanks guys for your support, though i am not selected for the Alpha testing but i am for the beta team…
Its just another 2 weeks away from the alpha release…
Miner I have no idea why you were excluded from the alpha testing team. it is a horrendous oversight.
However, I would be proud to have you on my testing team. This way you’ll have access to vb alpha 4 and be able to test the heck out of it. I know it’s not the same, but I hope it helps.
You’re the best!
Thanks Peggy for joining me to your team for testing the vB4 alpha and this is been my life time opportunity…
And i think i am included in the official vB4 beta testing…
You know my feelings about this dreadful oversight!
How could you have been missed off the alpha testing?
Is there a list of beta testers somewhere or do we just have to wait and see if we are deamed worthy enough?
It is a shame considering the fact that people so dedicated to a product should be entrusted with these kind of things.It is a little too selective for them to leave out owners of large forums and designers whose life revolves around the product.
