Vbulletin 3.8 + with VBAdvance versus VB4+ CMS
 

Ok VB4 has been out for awhile. Is it worth the upgrad if have vbAdvance, blogs and vbseo?

Please vote and explain you answer in thread. Thanks

there was a lot of discussions regarding this at vbulletin.com ... i don't think you need a pointless poll to add to it... go read what all of these had to say in the last months, it will be constructive for your information.

well thanks a lot for bursting my bubble ! Geez

LOL - Barb get's no break and Nexia gives none hahahaha
Anyway - I voted "other" -- I use subdreamer cms with my vB 3 forums:

I prefer this combination obviously. Second would be vB 3 with vBadvanced. or even vB 3 with no custom homepage.
I'm not a fan of vB 4 or it's CMS at the moment unfortunately... I have faith that vBulletin will get better. I mean it has no option right? Well there are options:

1. close the company down and stop selling vBulletin
2. win the case against xenForo and package it as the newly stolen (ahem) I mean - the newly refactored vBulletin 5 series
3. keep clunky code with all 100s of bugs and be major fail.

It'll be interesting to see what happens.

i just got vB 4.1.1 so I am new to vB.

what is the difference between vB4 and 3?

waht is that CMS for btw? I noticed you can edit stuff but what exactly is it.

vB4 was supposed to be the latest, greatest version of vBulletin. Instead - vB4 is the latest version.

The main difference I suppose is that vB4 offers a CMS (content management system) which can be customized to create a rather okay homepage. You customize your homepage using modules. I've not fiddled with it much - but from what I can gather, it's clunky and needs a bit of work. I've heard very similiar opinions expressed throughout various Admin forums as well.

Personally I'd rather vB3 with subdreamer and/or vBadvanced.

Its down to personal preference really.

VB 3.8 w/ vBadvanced :)

vBadvanced CMPS forever.
