Looking forward to it.
It would be nice to have a way to embed tweets. I'm active on another forum that has this, and it's slick.

Would you PM me the URL for that forum (and/or ideally a direct example of that tweet embedding)? If I can see it I can sort out whether it's a stock feature or a mod.

I would say watch the Internet Brand owned sites (they own Vbulletin for those unfamiliar) and follow their lead. I don't know of one that has made the jump to 4 and as long as they stay on 3 VB will be putting out security patches no matter what is announced.
If you are waiting until version 5 you may want to keep an eye out on Xenforo. It is a project from Kier and Mike who were developers for version 3 of VBulletin and basically got pushed out the door for wanting to go down the path that version 4 ended up taking. It is quite a departure from VB and for the good in my book but it may not be for every site.
Also on the mobile front you can probably find a mobile skin and a auto detect script for this version. Myself I find the mobile themes much better than the apps plus you can plug your ads in.

Yep, as above I've been watching Xenforo since they first launched the official site for it. I was *very* high on it for a long time, but (like so many others) am highly concerned now about the lull over there.
We'll see what happens. IB needs a big and early hit with 5 after the 4 debacle. I won't be going to 5 the moment it hits (will always wait for a couple patch releases, let everyone else test the first 'stable' release), but that's the general notion of a direction.

I won a math debate
Just to see if I understand what you're saying "Stuff might break, but don't say I didn't warn ya?" :)

One neat thing I've seen on operation sports and other forums is an embedded table system, particularly for box scores. This could be huge for all of our exhaustive stat posts comparing conferences, recruits, etc. I wonder if it is possible to add those while still closing the security holes of regular html formatting
I'll send an example link later

I've tried to implement that a couple times, but never found an effective way to do it. If we can figure out how OS pulled it off, I'm all for it.

Upon further review, it looks like a somewhat limited feature. Neat, but not as flexible as I was hoping:

Here's a sweet one but for XenForo:
