New to vbelletin

[taradil]

i want to start a forum, and i was told about vbellutin, my question is what is the difference
between vbellutin connect 5 and vbellutin 4 .
does VB5 include cms and blog or no.
which one do u guys recommend.
Thanks

Well, first off, vB5 Connect is still a beta product, so it really shouldn't be used on a live site. It also doesn't yet have all the features available in vB4. If you are going to start a new site, I'd suggest using vB4 and then upgrade to vB5 when it goes Gold and has all the features you want.

thanks for your reply,
when i went to the website it says vBulletin 4.2 included with the purchase of vBulletin 5 Connect
what does that mean .

this is what is the cornet of this page ,
http://www.vbulletin.com/vb4-features/

vBulletin 4.2 Publishing Suite (included with Purchase of vBulletin 5 Connect)
Includes blog and CMS capabilities

what do u think i should do .

There is no option to purchase vbulletin 4.2 alone separately. So you need to buy the vbulletin 5 connect.

So, when you buy the vb5 connect, the older versions of vbulletin are included with that..

ie: Vbulletin 4.2 & 3.x series.

You can use any version you want.
