Its quite invloved just to do it for 3.8, its a huge amount of work for 4.2.

No offense, but rubbish! "We're running 3.7 because the community doesn't need to upgrade to a POS. Besides, the site is running just fine as-is. If it ain't broke. Don't fix it!" AN EXCUSE for shoddy software.

An official website of vBulletin should be running the latest, greatest version of its product, if only to show prospective customers how sweet the script is. The failure to do so -- even on the humungous bulk of IB-owned forums -- is telling. This is my opinion anyway...

And not that I care mind you. I'm a fan of the vB 3.8.x series and would love to see vB.org upgraded to it. From the sounds of it - vB 7-8 would have been released and vB.org still on 3.7 because "the site is just fine as-is" ((sigh...))
