vbulletin.org is running version 3.6.12?

[mshawn]

Just curious,
Why hasn't this forum been updated to the latest version?

[ozzy47]

This has been asked many, many times over. Basically there is way to many customizations to the site in order to upgrade it. Besides the fact that it works just fine. :)

As it has been asked so many time use search am sure you will find the topics about it

Let me pick your brain. If you were to start a new forum from scratch, would you use vb4.2 or vb5.x?

[ozzy47]

I would start with 4.2 myself, I don't care for vB 5.x at this point. It has alot of potential, but it is just not for me yet.

Thanks. I have purchased two licenses and have just started using VB5. Thinking about starting over.....

[ozzy47]

If vB5 feels good to you, then by all means use it. It is just to new for me, and the lack of mods for it is a big downer.

Have you tried using other wording in search. I know the post is here somewhere just not sure were or its title

It is all over the forum, but it is also in the FAQ, https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=234458

Q8. Why does vBulletin.org not use the latest version of vB?

A8. Lynne made this post in a locked thread stating why. Asking this question will just result in a thread lock and the following reason being supplied:
The question about whether vb.org will be upgraded or why we have not upgraded has been asked and answered over and over again. Please do a search. The answer is actually very simple - the site works just fine as is, so we don't feel the need to upgrade it.

Concur. 4.2.1 is good, 4.2.2 will have PHP 5.4 support
