Hi everyone, I saw many changes on vBulletin.com today. The first news it that the whole style has changed, and no more login with your Customer ID, and now you can login with your email adress! Now also members area have got a new look. I guess the look of the Member Area is from the new vBulletin 5 connect. Yet not sure! After I logged in I saw a whole new style! And honestly I liked it. Its much more simple!

The other news is that the new vBulletin 5 Connect is finally ready! But there are more changes! The Check out www.vBulletin.com for more! I also wanted to give my feedback and say that I did not find any DEMO PAGE or a page where we can try it! But I think if you take a visit and try and see for yourself, then I am sure you will get a picture of how it will look like! Tho there are a few images of the new vBulletin 5 Connetc. This will be one of the best versions ever built, and the most expensive as well! The Price is for New License: USD$249.00 and Upgrade: USD$209.00!

I cant wait to hear more about it befor I purchase the version! I think I am stucked with vB3.8! Hopefully I am hoping for there will be an upgrade to vB5 from vB3.8! I will wait a bit more befor purchasing to make sure I dont lost my forum and database! So, What you guys think? Please comment below with your opinions and suggestions, and make sure to visit the page and check out the new style, by loging in to your account! Good luck !

Unless there has been a major overhaul to the search functionality (for numerous reasons) & other back end functionality to improve performance, waste of money.

It is so so slow. I was looking forward to this and was very excited. But this is so slow that I cannot express my disappointment.

The title of this thread is a little misleading... I wouldn't call it ready... ;)

Please remember it is only in Beta and you should not expect it will work perfectly. I would still recommend VB4 (which you still get with your VB5 license) for the time being for live sites.

oooh it is 'ready' alright.

i hope it gets alot faster aswell..early days yet:D

At present, not for me I'm afraid. Doesn't look or feel right and as other have mentioned it is slow, hopefully as development progresses things will improve but just now in its present incarnation doubt I will be purchasing a license.

But I'll keep an eye on its development :)

I'm going to be 100% honest: the product at it's current state (Beta 10) is almost unusable: bugs everywhere and painfully slow. So if you ask me about my first impression I'll say: SUCKS.

I think that in the current state this should be Alpha and not beta. I am not impressed by the looks either. Looks very dull. I hope that the slow speed and and other issues will be resolved soon.
