I love this site and you guys, I'll still be here when the changes go into affect but for now I'm going to sit back and wait ;). Seems some of use need something to do beside beat the same old dead horse even though some of the ideas I liked, it still seemed like a 3.6.12??? type of statement only skinned differently imo but as always that's imo.

OMG! vb.org is going to upgrade to vb4.0. Looks like the world is going to end after all :D

only reason i see why they should/would
it becourse of the vb support plan,, cant remeber it by heart
but wasent it something like

vb 3.6 support stop
vb 3.8 support + security continue
vb 4.x Gold released
------------------------------ next upgrade

vb 3.7 support stop
vb 3.8 security and support continue
vb 4.0 security and support continue
vb 4.1 released

-------- This is not PRECISE, its something like this
im sure if you search for it you will find it on both vb and vborg.
Im sure someone will correct it. :D such a friendly and helpfull community.

There are many sites out there, eg RelicNews who use really outdated vB software, but hey, the site is still fabulous to look at. Plus, custom mods do NOT work whatsoever on newer versions.

I really see no point in trashing all the mods. That would anger every user out there and make the site a ghost town. vB.org do NOT want this at all.

I like vB.org for it's customisation. I wonder if they've had it reviewed?

That is a very broad, utterly incorrect statement.

eg: My HTML for Usergroup modification. Code changes from 3.5 => 4.0 = ZERO.

Some/Many mods for 3.x won't work on 4.x, that is not to say that none of them do.

kall is correct. I have come across several mods from pre vb4 that work just fine on vb4. You just need to test each one individually to see.

A good rule of thumb - If it creates/pulls templates, it's going to require re-coding. If it doesn't (administrative mods often fall into this category), it could well work out of the box.

Quite a lot of said custom mods don't work even on a newer vB 3.x.
