Vbulletin Upgrade? VB4 or VB 3.6.12 ?

[GTX2]

Hello,

I've been using for long time vbulletin 3.6.4, since its release.
I'm thinking in upgrade now.

Should i upgrade to vbulletin 3.6.12 as vb.org or should i upgrade to latest vb4.0 ?
I really don't like the style and layout of vb.com, which i think it's using vb4.0....

Thank you for any help

If you were wanting to upgrade to the latest of the 3 series, I'd go to 3.8.6PL1, not 3.6.12 which is end-of-life (no support or security updates any longer).

It's really up to you if you like the look/mods in 3.8 or for 4.0. 3.8 will go EOL as soon as 4.2 is released, so you may want to consider that also.

Thank you.
I think i will go for now with 3.8.6 Patch Level 1.
Are there main big differences from 3.6.4 into this one?

Thank you

I can't remember exactly what was changed there... profile styleing, groups, albums... probably some other things too.

From 3.6 -> 3.8 yeah, Profile Customization, Social Groups, Albums, "Human Verify" (Q&A, reCAPTCHA), Akismet/Typepad Spam Management, etc.

And of course bug fixes, etc. :)
