since i am switching between normal and beta-website quite often, and stay at my profile of within the forum, i have the problem to know if im currently on the beta-site or not
so here the sugestion:
change the DarkSpace-logo in the upper right corner so it is easier to see, where youre currently
maybe just a yellow "BETA"-stamp across the picture

Dont know if this would be the most beautiful solution, but a way for us to notice would be nice.

uhm
afaik the beta-site is just the forum + the beta-profile
id guess both forums will be merged into one and the beta-servers use your normal profile but dont upgrade it (and credits could be freezed to 20000)
at least thats how i would do it

| Interesting. To bad tho. i was thinking to modify Beta a bit to make it look More "Beta"..
Still interesting to know what yer all planning..
p.s. I personally have no issue between Beta and release.
But that might be because i Use the Dutch ("Nederlands") parts the beta and release website..

Beta will load your release profile, but any action within beta will not change your prestige.
May I remind players that posting in the beta sections of the forums will require you to adhere to more stricter posting rules as per this thread. [ This Message was edited by: BackSlash on 2010-08-21 09:45 ]

You know, now that this has been implemented, I'm starting to dislike it. I used to be able to keep track of everything by checking the recent topics lists, but now there's only one list and it changes very rapidly. Also, the amount of whining in the beta forums has jumped up by about 500%, particularly since it's unclear which forums are for beta and which ones are release.
Would it be possible, at least, to put all the beta forums under a big BETA DISCUSSION section?

Or just treat the "Development" section as beta?
That's an easier way, perhaps.

... or get an additional forum-tracker for the beta-forums, if possible

By which you mean a Latest Topics box? What's a forum tracker?

you could make the beta forums private, and just have acces given per request.
