I spent quite a lot of the last few months working on the vB4 style. Obviously, there was a lot of HTML to convert to the proper semantic style. Kier converted a lot before he left and I was assisting him in that process.

There was just too much HTML to convert for one person so Alpha is very much an alpha in terms of the style. It is very rough around the edges and usability is being worked on.

A few days ago I added a popup to the editor that allows a video url (youtube, metacafe, etc) to be input, which results in a video bbcode being output. The result is that you can finally embed videos in your posts. The timeframe and requirements did not allow me to include a method by which end users can add their own video services but I'm sure that can be handled in the near future.

At the moment I am working on the asset manager, working on its usability.
