I am looking at 7.1. Wasn't there some things left out of the profile customiser. I installed 7.1 and I can not seem to use the customiser to get rid of the transparent png; if that is what you are using, or transparency through CSS, using the customiser and I hate the boxes showing the page background. That in itself may be enough reason for me to not go to 7.1.
Actually, I managed to install the old profile customiser over the new one on the 7.1 test bed so I am happy now. The users on the site I am building are big on making changes to their pages and not being able to customise the same areas would have caused a lot of complaining. I am looking forward to the release of 7.1 now that I have played a bit with it. I like the changes in the backend admin area; in the 7.0.9 I keep clicking in the wrong places and 7.1 is much more streamlined. So when can see more we expect to see 7.1 beta?
7.1 beta is close.
