Wow, great to see so many opinions an posts, Thank you guys for your advices and your opinions! So basicly what I have learned it that vBulletin 5 is not fully workable so far, a few have had problems with login and page loadings! And some people were also talking about the look was not a proper look for them..

Here is my opinion:
I am an old MYBB developer and to be honest, each and every version of MYBB that were released, was always better than the first one, and the one befor! I must admit that I am also a bit disapointed about vBulletin 5 and its progress so far! I really hoped for so much more.. And the reason I became a member of vBulletin is because its super fast, and then we get the vB5 which is not fully workable...

Thanks for all your answers...

where ever you posted this link I cant seem to access it

That was just a stupid post where i was ironic about vb5 that gets deleted

I think there was a element of sarcasm in Princeton's post. ;)

However I.B have indeed done us a favour by releasing this beta. Now it is clear to me that my forum wont be able to convert to vb5 anytime soon and we will be on vB3 for some time to come.

I think It will take at least 18 months for things to stabilise and mods to be developed for vB5. So we might as well invest in some more addons and maybe a new skin. We had been holding these off in anticipation of vB5. :)

this morning vb5 on yslow even better with a score of 77 so someones been listening:up:

^^ Its not just about slow .. If I click on a link then first it shows some other pages before taking me to the page I want to go to ... and there is a lot of resizing.

Also the layout is confusing .. its not intuitive. There are some good features but it is being overshadowed by lots of obvious bugs and slow speed.

yes if it stopped doing that it would be even faster

Am I the only one who thinks it looks too much like Invision's IP.Board?

I agree with the direction they are taking vB5 - it is time for vBulletin to evolve.

The problem I have is that it looks like no planning went into the demo launch. It's a complete mess! On top of that, the project is incomplete.

They need to transition customers and users slowly off of what we are use to (what a forum is today). The demo could have easily been changed to look and act more like the 'forums' we know today. For example, upon your first visit you should feel familiar to the UI. (The demo has now been updated with additional forums but it still feels foreign because of all the white-space.)

The last thing IB wants to do is push people away. By nature, human beings do not like change.

On top of that, it's slow as H-E-L-L and full of BUGS.

If they wanted to impress us they went horribly wrong.

It's far from ready.

Thank you for your honest insight into this matter Princeton. It is unfortunate that we dont get this kind of insight from other senior vb.org staff since they have joined vb.com support staff. Dont get me wrong. I am very happy that they are helping out more in vb.com but in another way it has been a loss for us here on vb.org.

I wonder if you can give us a rough estimate on how long it will take before vB5 can be made stable and relatively bug free.
