vB.org 4?
 

I Was just curious, i can imagine the huge amount of work there would be involved but are there any plans to upgrade vB.org to vB4 in the near future?

Ive looked around for a topic but cant find one.

There's about a bajillion posts on this over the years. The short answer is they will probably never upgrade- the site works for their needs as is.

lol @ "a bazillion posts on this over the years" -- you are quite right.
I don't think the "official" answer is 'never' though - I was under the impression that there are plans to upgrade in the future, but "just not yet" lol

Jacquii.

God I truly hope vg.org never upgrades to v4.
I hate v4 for its horrible design. Even vB 2.x looked better.

vB4 is an overbloated, ugly piece of crap. I wish they never expanded and got out of the vB2.x, vB3.x stage. They ruined vBulletin.

In the near future ?

No.

It really says something about their product in my opinion and I would say in from a publicity point of view... When the developer will not even use their latest product in public in all aspics & rather elect to use an older ( v 3.6.12 ) product which is currently in or close to "end of life".

It would take an immense amount of work to develop new mods and styles to work with vbulletin 4, it's not a testament to the 'failure' of a product at all. The current version works for what vb.org need it to, and they've put in alot of work to get it that way.

vBulletin 4 isn't that bad, you have to put some effort in, but it can be made a stable and stylish forum. I've put the work in on my site and would never consider moving down to 3.8, I now have a forum system that I and my members enjoy.

Probably waiting until VB4 goes Gold TBH :D

In all seriousness though it wouldn't do any harm to upgrade to VB4 here.

Its says nothing at all about vb4.

I do wonder what it says about people who think the most important thing about vbulletin.org is the version of vb it runs on.
