I couldn't find any other update on when the new forum layout will be released. All i know is that this, ->
https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk is their github for the new forum, where you can follow all the new development.
I've searched and found numerous other threads on when the forum will be released, and no one really knows the answer.
with the current state of it
http://beta.bitcointalk.org , i'm starting to get a bit worried aswell ;/
does the beta website belong to Bitcointalk.org official?
for what exactly is the beta?
I am interested in the UI on the beta website
You mean the above link right? (
https://beta.bitcointalk.org/), and yes, this belongs to bitcointalk.org
for what exactly is the beta?
Probably to test and display the new features the forum will be getting, and to give the community an impression of what's coming.
I am interested in the UI on the beta website
You might be interested in ->

Do note that i am fairly certain this is copy-righted, and i'd really not recommend using it.
