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.
