What happened to vbinpsired.com?

I was a customer there. Recently I was considering upgrading to 4.2.2. I am unable to get a copy of the updated gametime theme.

Anyone know of a link for 4.2.2 compatible?

They possibly went out of business. So you would have to find a new style, or have someone update the current one for you.

vBInspired is definitely gone. I use their skin, and no updates can be found.

vBulletin 3 skins CAN be ported to v4.2.2, i have seen it done. Good luck!

Does anyone have their GameTime theme for 4.2.2 please?

[ozzy47]

If they did, they still can not legally share it with you, as I am sure the agreement was you owned the style and do not redistribute it.

[Max Taxable]

You're going to have to try to port it to vB4.2.2 or hire someone to do it for you if you still want to use it.

One of the things to consider before "upgrading" when you are making the pros and cons list, looking for those compelling reasons to do so I keep talking about.

Also just as Max Taxable said you also need to put on that list every mod you have currently installed on your forum, because NONE of them will work with vB4. So they would need to be uninstalled and a new vB4 version would need to be installed. And not all of the vB3 mods were ported to vB4 so you may have functions of your site that cannot be upgraded at all. It can be quite a big headache.

Not true. There's quite a number of addons for vB3 that flawlessly work in vB4. You also don't have to uninstall addons, you deactivate them for upgrade, then update them. For many addons you'd lose data if you uninstall them.

It's definitely true of vB 5 though. Might be what he thought we were talking about?

[HM666]

Not true. There's quite a number of addons for vB3 that flawlessly work in vB4. You also don't have to uninstall addons, you deactivate them for upgrade, then update them. For many addons you'd lose data if you uninstall them.

You still should do some research and see if there is an upgraded version. I've run into many problems with clients that have various hacks that the developers dropped when vB put 4 out. To say that ALL the hacks posted on here will/can be upgraded for vB4 is quite misleading.

[ozzy47]

Also to say none of the vB3 hacks will work on vb4 is misleading, as well as saying to uninstall them , then find the vB4 version. :)

To say that ALL the hacks posted on here will/can be upgraded for vB4 is quite misleading.
And who exactly said such a thing? You were the one that said NO addons would work, which is just plain wrong.
