I'm guessing its mostly coding stuff that we can't see

so far i've seen:

on the politics page the blogs are up at the right now

recent posts list is shorter

List of 4.0 items that are mostly under-the-hood: Unified central code-base, AboveTop:Board v2.0 on all sites Politics @ ATS Points awarded on all boards Edit function with 2-hour timeout RATS now a purchase & monthly subscription Optimized lower-bandwidth CSS menu system Lower-bandwidth Index, Forum, and Thread pages Subdomain integration of boards (below.abovetopsecret.com... for example) Timed generation of semi-static content (several changes here) Improved Index page for all boards WayAbove winners now get 5,000 points Optimized database tables (streamlined several) Improved database queries (gained some efficiency) MyRecent - Recents posts page tied to your MyATS subscriptions MyATS colors - display is BTS, ATS, PTS color-coded CoreMetrics traffic monitoring Long-list of minor code optimizations on nearly every page There are a couple of additional tweaks coming, but we're essentially on ATS 4.0 BETA right now.

lmao

So now even BTS posts are awarded points? Is there a new spreadsheet that has the point values laid out?

Since I've joined ATS this place has had about 10 face-lifts and a couple tummy-tucks....and it seemed perfectly fine to begin with...lol

SO - you rock!

If this is just the BETA, I'm excited. This is awesome to see such progress. It is much more than I thought it would be. I love to see the integration of points onto all boards.

Keep up the AWESOME WORK, SO! I am so interested in the under-the-hood workings of this place. It intrigues me how much can be done.

I CANNOT WAIT for ATS 4.0 FINAL!

This is like the Windows Longhorn betas... oh wait... it's not... cuz this is actually a WORKING BETA and it comes with more features!!!

w00t.

Phew wooks like you guys have been busy. Hope you include a four barrel carb and 557 Hemi under the hood of 5.0 4.0 beta working wooks great

did we get far more liberal in giving out points, or did i just post more than i thought?

I hope that site is as good as this site.

I dont think it can get any better, can it!

LOL!

Just wondering, if I happen to notice a minor bug on the new 4.0, should I post it here or send it thru the suggestion form?

*sigh*
Fragile Earth is still not available to me to edit into the Your Favorite Forums section on the MY ATS page.
Sad, but true.

The only bug I noticed is when viewing a thread logged off, and use the login boxes on the top right of any topic page,.... it will give me an error and not let me login. The login on the main forum works though.

(I did notice something else, I had made two fairly large and detailed posts the last 2 days,... and after previewing the post prior to submitting,... I may make some typo changes, and then go preview again to be sure,... at this point my IE6 on XPp, gives me the crappy warning that ..."they are sorry, internet explorer has experienced a problem and will be closed" crap.

I normally wouldnt care, but this happenned the last 2 days in a row, and after compiling some rather lengthy and detailed threads of posts I would be proud of, I gave up, until tomorrow maybe. Gotta build it from scratch again on notepad. ) But I havent ruled out the possiblity that it might be my box spazzing out. Except that it only happens here.)

It's not your box: it happened to me trying to post at BTS and P@ATS. Like you, I lost posts and like you I could also log in on the main page.

I have also lost posts using the little quote, url, etc buttons on the reply page.
