i love it.. though i never had vb3..

the only bugs i know off is the alignment bug on the cms..

but all that can be easily fixed and quite frankly contributes to your learning experience..

other than that i hat not been having problems..

ive been able to do what i want without fail, and im a newbie..

does it cost you to upgrade? like 170?

i guess if it was costing to upgrade i would wait until vb5 if i was running vb3..

then the change would be greater and worth the cost..

but thats just me..

I paid $250 for the upgrade from 3.8 forum only to 4.0 gold (forum, cms and blog). Worth every cent.

Hmmm I have only been hearing about the bad stuff with it lately so i figured i should start a thread with an unbias opinion. I did install it on a test site which is when i realized the template system had changed which is still a huge issues for me. I think that the vBulletin template system was a change for the worce. I think I'll set up a test board and keep watching the updates and if they add they add features I might upgrade. Or else I wil stick with vBulletin 3.8. Also is their a way to purchase 3.8 anymore?

In my opinion you shouldn''t let the hearsay of others influence you when making a decision or forming an opinion. But try to create the opinion and make the decision based on your personal experience only.

Yea i think ill just be working with the old forum software. until they stop providing updates for it then ill consider upgrading.
