My guess is they'll go with whatever is the most recent version.

There is zero chance it will be done while 4.0.2 is still current.

thank you very much marco for replying to my concerns. i'm very pleased with that answer. it is what i was hoping for.

paul it is not yet even known when exactly 4.0.2 will appear or how long it will last, so i find that hard to foresee, although i can imagine 4.0.3 coming out before a site as big and well enhanced as vb.org can make the jump. lets just wait and see.

ooh i wish a small bottle of dr.pepper wasn't 1,19 euros in germany. that really killed my addiction fast.

Its not hard to forsee at all, 4.0.2 is due in the next few days, maybe a week or two at most. 4.0.3 maybe 2/3 weeks after that.

I can assure that any upgrade of vb.org is months away, far beyond when 4.0.2 or 4.0.3 will have been released.

1- i kicked myself


2- your first thought is completely pointless and goes nowhere ... because on vb.org, there NEVER had any demo of any product released here... vbulletin never was a showroom for any addon. it's a site for volunteers who support the guys in need, period.

stop trying to find pointless arguements. the site does not need to be upgraded to the latest version of vB 4.0... if you want a showroom, visit http://vbulletin.com

Just update this site in June when we're all happy :up:

Um, what?

I'm inclined to agree here. What version they are running here makes no difference on what mods I choose to download and install for my current version. The usability of this site is finely tuned and I like it that way, I just don't see a real justification for .org upgrading.

I think with vb4 the proof is in the pudding. And if IB's sites* do not use vb4, then that's bad advertising IMHO.

* yes I know vb.org is technically not owned by IB. Just on IBs server and supporting the vb product in many ways. ;)

Okay now so, when this place is upgraded. Why not release the nice color chooser you guys have, along with the width thingy. Would be a hit.

Most of the modifications running on vBulletin.org are integrated together and can not so easy be split off into a seperae releasable modification.

Then why not release the whole thing? Have a forum just for it like the ibProArcade or something.

That is not feasible as it is also integrated with very vB.org specific changes.

I was under the impression that someone had already released a mod that does the same thing.

Since IB own the domain, I think it would be fair to say they own vb.org. :)

I really dont understand this mentality that all IB sites "must" run vb4 to advertise it, showcase it, whatever. Its just nonsense. The only site this could possibly apply to is vbulletin.com, since that is the product and support site - and hey, it is running vb4.

They have. Can't quite remember who, but pretty much every modification you guys make is replicated in some way and released by the regular members here.

Or it's released by the staff, I remember one of the admins here releasing half the vBulletin.org modifications.

LOl, I dont quite think so.

Some of the display related mods are slightly custom versions of Joes, which he has also released. :)

vb4 is an incremental rewrite of vbulletin. So its heading for being a rewritten, new product, released by a different company. Showing that many IB sites run well on vb4.x does bring across a statement of reliability and confidence in their own product. The proof is in the pudding. At least for some.

UKBusinessLive's mod? Its wayy different. vb.org's mod is better :erm:

I mean Princeton's mods, aka:

Ditto. It's what reminded me to never visit a free forum hosting site again, because they were using forum software different to what they offered, and made it look like they were saying 'we're using a competitor's software because our product is rubbish'.

wow who pissed in your coffee that morning?

@pointless arguments... i'm sorry for not choosing my words carefully enough. but i have spend quite a bit of time on vb.org. and i ment in the sense of inspirational. i believe the chiefpost being different was originally a vbulletin.org thing, before somebody made a hack for it. matter of fact i kind of made my own chiefpost mod, after seeing on vbulletin how things look, didn't work quite as well as the one released a couple of weeks later but it did it's job. same with the downloads, mods on vbulletin.org inspired a few coders i'm sure. maybe you're right though i suppose it is a pointless argument if nobody else feels that way. it was just my point of view, that i believed others might share. i wasn't trying make up stuff to convince the forum that in needed a change. i merely stated the reason i would have liked to see vb.org on the 4.0 standard.

i also believe alfa1 made a great point with the bad advertising, but i'm sure you would beg to differ. i think if new users saw all the great possibilities of vb they would be more willing to purchase it. the last 2 people that offered me a community creation job wanted me to use invision because they have come to believe it can do so much more.


i apologize paul, i should have educated myself first. i wasn't aware of the fact that 4.0.2 was already in the works, i haven't been to vb.com or vb.org in about a year i believe. but thanks for explaining, what you say makes perfect sense.

Or, aka Joe, as Paul said. :p
