Discussion about the quality of vb4

[Noli]

Hi,

i just wanted to start a little discussion about the overal quality auf vbulletin 4 since its release. The recent months were really frustrating for me. Since the switch to vb4 and the CMS all the news i post dont make it to google, before that i would aways get into the first or second page. Also the Security Problems and Exploits that surfaced in the last months really made me think about the future and if i should really continue to stick with vbulletin. The CMS is a SEO nightmare and the Forum Software isnt that much ahead of other solutions anymore. Other Projects picked up steam in the last months and also have a very active modding Community. Also a lot of good Devs already switched over to xenforo at least the guy that made the media library and some other people that used to work with vbulletin.

What are your thoughts towards vbulletin at this moment?

vBulletin FTW!

What I lvoe about vBulletin is the ease of setup and the fact that if I copy/pate content from the web it pastes it in the thread with all the images/links thanks to the WSIWYG editor :)

I will never even think about switching.

I have to admit though that vB3 is much snappier I wish there was a simple way to convert the databse to work with vb3 but it's a big hassle to downgrade :(

I've been thinking the same thing lately.. (except Xenforo would leave me with a loss of many mods)
I'm sick of upgrading mods & styles every time (which im sure is the root of any of my problems), & im not sure what to do anymore. Many mods & styles aren't all on the same page as far as version, so you can only upgrade to the mod that it furthest behind. :erm:

My question is what is the last SOLID version.? (i'm thinking 4.1.7 or 4.1.10)
I only want to upgrade to that & leave it for years.! lol
