Everything you need in vBulletin 4
Lets be honest. Not everyone wants to migrate their large forums over to vBulletin 5. There are too many uncertainties.Will my SEO ranking stay the same? Are the same plugins available. What about all my custom configurations and themes? Not only that, there is so many plugins in vBulletin 4 that allow me to virtually create anything at the moment, why does it make sense to move to vBulletin 5. And thus, this plugin was born, essentially creating a modern vBulletin 4 platform on top of the existing infrastructure.

Faster page loading for vBulletin 4
With a new vBulletin ?ForumHome? remastered, the pages render faster, and allow for a more pleasant browsing experience for everyone.

Ajax Loading for vBulletin 4
No more clicking to navigate to view more content. vBSocial Modern Forums loads new content on the fly without having to navigate across boards.

Drag and Drop Image Uploading for vBulletin 4
Easily drag multiple images onto our new editor so your users can add attachments faster, the modern way.

Better content sorting for vBulletin 4
Because the data is now sorted in a tabular format, you can sort all your threads by popularity, rating, views, activity and much more with a simple click.

Works with existing installations of vBulletin 4
It takes 2 minutes to install this plugin, and 2 minutes to quickly transform to your new modern forum. Not everyone wants to move to vBulletin 5.

More interactive and social
Content gets buried on your vBulletin 4 site. With the new system, there are many new ways of discovering new and old content.

Works perfectly with vBSocial Social Network/Notifications
Our plugin has been tested to work with our main plugin vBSocial Social Network.

Create Threads from anywhere!
You can now create threads from the forum home page, as well as the category pages. This allows for more content creation, as content is king.

Color coding of categories
Easily configure your forum categories to look a certain color. By default, we automatically color code them for you based on your themes colors.

The future of forums is here.

Cool, I see them now, is everything listed in the first post in the Lite version? If so what benefits are in the PRO?

Added to description, thanks for reminder. Also limitations are noted in the .xml

This is very interesting. A couple of questions:

- Does it include any of your other products (like the notifications)?
- Will existing mods like Dragonbyte mentions and notifications and stuff still work?
- More importantly - how does infinite scrolling affect page views, ad revenue, and SEO? Wouldn't that reduce page views and ad revenue?
- How does deployment per style work? You say it works for light and dark styles.
- Is there a way to keep the old system as default and run this as an option for selected users/admins to try it out?
- Does it have any enhanced social media integration?
- Are new replies AJAX like Facebook?

I'm sure more questions will occur, but it's interestin for sure!

1. It is tied together with all our VIP or single purchase. I can't discuss premium or pricing here.
2. Untested
3. It decreases "page clicks" when users need to find a new post, but increases activity as this makes it easier to find and navigate the site.
4. Its' different per style. Its' coded to work with stylevars, so it adapts to each and every style. At the moment, you can keep the default for guests, and modern forums for regular members. Also regular members can turn it off from usercp.
5. Our other stuff does this
6. We did not modify new replies. We added a new thread creator. Which can popup from forumhome/forum categories etc.

Try it live:

Let me know if you have any other questions :)

I am intrigued, for sure. It's such a big change, though, that I really feel I need to be able to control it by user group, starting with just the admins and then some select members before opening it to everyone.

This plugin is very new, and there is still alot insights to learn from it. We see it being useful for many sorts of different types of websites, that are focused on driving more activity, and visibility to all the content on their forums.

Yes, I understand your goal with it. As I mentioned, my concern is user reaction to big changes, and having the ability to test it with select user groups, and then roll it out more slowly would be very attractive.

Have you any stats to show that it does drive more activity? Are your own forums busier post-upgrade to this?

Your forum http://vbsocial.com/forum/ doesn't load on a kindle fire (firefox).

Or an iPhone.

Tagged for now...

Marvelous idea..... Just waiting on issues to be discovered and ironed out..

Looks appealing..

We're currently using it here:
http://vbsocial.com/forum/

It does wonders for "support" type based websites.. making it alot easier to identify latest threads. So far no issues/bugs. Let me know though.

That URL gives me a blank page with Chrome for Android and Firefox for Windows.

It works on Firefox for me, but not on my iphone.

Will be releasing mobile fix soon.

This looks very interesting.
I have a big problem on my forum with inexperienced users posting in the wrong category. I'd like to give this a try but I am pretty sure it would exacerbate that problem the way it is set up. Do you have any ideas for how I might try to prompt them to choose the right category when posting? Or, alternatively, can I disable the option to create a thread from anywhere?
Thanks for your time.

Guys, your mods ideas are very nice.

However, and this comes from a former subscriber to your services, i have yet to try a mod that works perfectly.

There are always issues with either stylesheets or coding in general with your mods.

For example, when i enable this specific mod, my forum stops loading and gives me a blank page.

Thanks for posting this. I was just about to try this out but think I'll give it a miss now!

Same issue here, would love to give it a try but nothing but a white page loads.

Disabled vbOptimize Lite and it loaded.

Still not working here. :confused:

Daveaite

On your site when you log in to the forums and then try to change the forum display options I just get a database error, need to see this setting work right before trying it.

I like it but it reminds me too much of Discourse's forum software lol

anyone is using this in a big forum ? if is any known issues ? also the link to buy on website is giving 404 error

I cant work out how to post a new thread ?

Fixed:

Is this still happening?

Thanks for posting.

Click the Create new thread button on top of page:

When logged in.

Hey guys,
Any idea why after installation and setup, the main forum page looks great as expected but there is no Create a Thread button, anywhere. Not even on the separate category pages. The moderator options is there but the Create Thread is not. Disabled all plugins/products to test for any conflict but found nothing. It simply wasn't showing the Create Thread.

The only way I found to add a thread is Forum Tools-> but that really isn't a great method and hard to explain to new visitors and even existing members :) Had to disable the plugin at this point given the fact it is enabled by default once installed.

Be interested to see if anybody knows why this is or how to fix it. Thanks!

Check your Default theme out, and see if it appears. Could be a custom theme issue

I'll try that out. I thought this wasn't theme specific, originally anyhow.
Problem is gotta wait until nobody is around before doing the switch since by default, the new look is present which if those buttons are gone, sorta breaks function :)

I am having the same issue, on the default forum as well. There is an option to create a new thread under the Forum Tools drop down but I want a button that is "clearly" visible on every page.

Yep still the same. No mods installed (well en-abled), no plugins outside the VB ones and even those have the blog and cms related disabled.

Not sure what's going on here but clearly if this is a 'sold' product as well, it must be working. Of course not going to buy it until shown it does, otherwise a waste, ya know...

I would also like to see a link/button to turn it on or off for the members, even if it takes them the user cp... I don't want to answer 500 questions on how to disable it.

Also, can category coloring be turn off so it's just a normal link?

Will fix this

Will add :)

Any idea what is causing it? For a quick fix? :)
Or has it not worked right for anybody up until now, at least the non-paid version?
