DBTech News
Firing on all cylinders here at Fort DragonByte this week!
The highly anticipated vBDonate has gone gold and had a lite version released. You can read all about the mod and the awesome features within here. It's a fantastic way to get your members donating to your site to help you pay for running costs - or for more DBTech mods!
The equally anticipated @DragonByte Gallery has entered the open beta stage, meaning you can now buy your own copy for your own forum. Features may still be added during this open beta, so if there's something you want to see in it grab a copy and let the developer know - it might still be possible to squeeze it in! Read all about it here.
We have had a number of updates to the open betas of both Advanced @user Tagging and @Advanced Post Thanks / Likes, and we have released Lite v3 beta's of both as well. You can read about the new features for AUT here, and for APTL here.

Decado's Corner
Hangover free this week! Big night of updates and releases tonight, vBDonate, Gallery, AUT and APTL all seeing updates & releases. Next few weeks are going to be pretty jam packed as well with updates and new mods
vBArcade v2 closed beta should be starting in the next week or so, so if you're interested and haven't let us know yet the comments for this weeks blog is a good chance to register your interest - open to current vBArcade customers only.
Finished all 4 seasons of Sons of Anarchy and it was incredible, I can't wait for season 5 to start in September, i'm absolutely addicted to the show and I love the suitably nuanced portrayal of the Scottish character, Chibs.
We will be doing quite a few product updates over the next few months, so if there are any products (in particular products by @Belazor) that you would like to see updated, let me know in the comments and i'll see what I can do. No promises but i'll take your feedback into account when planning the schedule. It's also a good time to go request features for your favourite mods so they get taken into account.
Last but not least, I am considering forming a sort of... brain trust focus group of regular customers who would give feedback on what we're doing well and not so well, where we could be improving and things such as this. In addition I would run ideas like our referrals scheme and such past them to get their input on the best way to do it and make it work. Requirements would be the ability to use/get skype for group text chats and a passion for DBT products. A willingness to pay attention to feedback on other forums and communities regarding DBTech is also a plus. If you are interested in being considered, let me know in the comments. It's not 100% that this is something we will go ahead with, but there's a pretty strong chance it'll come to pass in some form or another.
Looking forward to your comments and feedback as always!
Thanks for reading,
Iain & The DragonByte Technologies Team.
