Vb 5 connect

[neoex]

Is there ANY type of feedback module for VB5 (iTrader) etc. If not I will have to go with 4. Thanks

[ozzy47]

I do not recall seeing one, there is only a handful of mods for vB5 at this time.

I suggest you go with vbulletin 4. Vbulletin 5 is buggy, slow and there are not to many addons for it.

[neoex]

noted I had to go with 4. thanks!

[CarpCharacin]

I am glad you went with vb4.

Does vB 5 still sucks that bad even after it has been out this long and now at v 5.1.5?

I am considering to make use of one of my two very old (and not used) vB licenses and want to upgrade to v 5.1.5, (for a fresh install on a new (as far as vB install) and different domain) but I am not so sure how much sense it makes, plus, many of my members will be using mobile devices, and I have even more doubt concerning the mobile package, as well.

I am not gonna discuss how good or bad vB5 is neither shall i tell people to use vB 4 instead or stay away from vB 5...i only can tell you that my site is running on vB 5.1.5 and i am happy with it!

I have to admit that i was very disappointed after buying vB 5 a few months ago because of all the bugs but after the latest updates it improved a lot!

The only downside with vB5 is the lack off addons available atm especially when you upgrade from an older vb version that had many addons installed!

It has still some minor bugs but in general it works great but that's my opinion!
I can't tell you much about the Mobile package tho because i don't use it.

With each release of VB5 it seems we are getting more for our money.

In 5.1.5 a slider can be added to any page through the site builder, I don't know of any other platform that has this built in, most have to use a third party slider such as WOW or Nevo.

I shall be sticking with VB5 rather than jumping ship especially to XF which seems to charge extra for add ons.

Once VB5 settles down, I am sure coders will once again be adding MODs to it.

Only if they add a decent hook system. If not, it doesn't matter how many new vBulletin 5 versions they release, there will never be more vBulletin 5 mods.

I went ahead and upgraded to version 5.1.5 and I am going to use it on a new site with a fresh new install. :up:

I got the branding free, got the installation by them (still waiting for), and one month of support, but I did NOT get the mobile suite. :down:

I may get a theme soon, and looking forward to plugins when they are available. Maybe vBSocial, at least, David, the guy who runs it, says he is working on his stuff to work with, and be available for, vB 5 Connect. :cool:

Not exactly true, I have a couple more mods I could make but chose to hold off while the software stabilizes and the user base grows. It's not impossible to mod for without hooks, just more limited.

[ozzy47]

You can have basic mods, but there will never be any decent (more advanced) mods made/converted without the hooks, unless you start editing core files.

[Max Taxable]

Plus - not that it matters much to people anymore seemingly - v5 is just slow. Out of the box, slow.

Additionally I cannot imagine ever buying it without the mobile suite. Embrace mobile or die.

I don't like to use the latest script because it must contain many unknown bugs.
I prefer to use older script so that I save time on dealing with the bugs.
After all, what bring people to a forum is not the latest version or the latest functions.

:erm: :confused: :rolleyes:

I do not think you are up to the challenge of open and honest and free discussion.

And I do not think that is appropriate for this forum.

Using vB 4xx and feeling great with it, the same vb5 and made responsive design and addons.
Just suggest you go with vb4.

You are exact! :up:
