[Rules] Beta Testing

[Xarcell]

Beta Testing Purpose:

The sole purpose of "Beta Testers" is to test the TP/SMF software. Beta Testing means the software is "still" in developement stages and "will" contain bugs. Our job as a Beta Tester is to find these bugs, and make the developer aware of the issue so that it can be fixed.

As a "Beta Tester", you must comply with all Forum Rules, Etiquette, and Posting Guides per board. Failure to comply will result in the removal of your posting privilages.

At this site, a positive mind, and attitude is appricated. Although a negative one is frowned apon, and does not serve our testing purposes. Negative users ("not constructive posts") who disrupt our forums will also have thier beta testing privilages removed.

I want to be a beta tester..

[G6Cad]

DHUOoo

You ARE a beta tester, all of our members that download and use TP on their sites are Beta testers as the packages we have for download are beta packages.

[Jason kiDD]

haha I used to be but no one wants to give me the sneak peak to the alpha...

[IchBin]

Alpha testers are invited to join. We usually invite people we see that are active, and if they show good trouble shooting skills etc.

[Jason kiDD]

Yeah I know I know.. lol But it would also be beneficial for someone to test it live on a few forums for you so you can get quick information on what works and what doesnt...

Hi Jason,

Though we appreciate your offer, the current Alpha for TP 2 is being tested by more than a few of the TP Team Members and Alpha Testers on their test sites.  None are yet being used on live Forums.

As for a sneak preview, the site shown below uses TP 2 Alpha 2 if you'd like to have a look at it.  There are a few different themes setup on this test site with a theme selector to have a look at them ...

[Skhilled]

Have you not been reading the posts in this topic or searching the boards? TP for SMF 2 is in testing and only available to team members and alpha testers.

Love to join the Alpha team tho it's invited only unfortunately.

[Nolt]

I will be very pleased to join BT group.

Besides we all are Beta testers since we use TP and its not stable version

[Skhilled]

Actually, the topic should say "Alpha Team". The users are actually the beta testers.

[dismal shadow]

Despite the fact we are all BT for 1.1.11 but I have no use for it expect on RC3.

[Skhilled]

Don't worry, you'll be a BT for RC3 soon.

[dismal shadow]

Don't worry, you'll be a BT for RC3 soon.

Hope that's not a joke.

It's not.

[Skhilled]

Ditto.

[dismal shadow]

Assuming it's April Fool joke. 

[ZarPrime]

No, it's not a joke.  No, really, it isn't.  I'm serious. BTW, Happy April Fool's Day.

Umm, Can we updated this topic for me, members and guests? Umm, In the first post of this topic the link is dead.

I hope I didn't get out of line about this.....

There is no need for it IMO. The topic is 5 years old....
