    In the past have you downloaded and used Beta versions on your live board?
    Do you download and just play around to learn new features?
    Don't you download it at all?

    I have never upgraded a live board to a "beta" release. It's not only a security risk, but I've seen some funky things happen to those who have upgraded.

    I've never run anything other than a stable release on my live forums.

    I would never run beta on my live site! Besides the fact that I would never get my tracker integration code updated fast enough to run the beta on my live site....

    Have always upgraded to the Beta on a live site. I know live dangerously.

    No, I really don't want to futz with a beta version unless absolutely necessary.

    I've done it before, yeah. But it's not something we'll need to worry about anymore, I guess, since they're not releasing beta releases anymore (according to the leaked screenshots).
