At some point Vb5 will most likely be worked out as well but the latest Vb4.2.2 is very solid and secure.

Sure vulnerabilities are found every so often but usually patched very quickly just as vulnerabilities are found and patched in pretty much every software and script.

In regards to the op giving up... Sure major upgrades are difficult for someone who has not done it or does not do this type of thing all the time. I can understand that but the issue here was not the version at all.

I added a lot of jquery, flash, javascript, php, etc. and my site has a lot of images that are not optimized in any way. Yeah I'm sure my site loads slowly but I provide my users with an MP3 player packed with over 300 hits songs (all legal - I pay the licensing fees) for free as an incentive for them to visit my site. I don't think they mind if the initial page takes an extra second or 2 to load.

I consider my site a proof of concept project that I enjoy working on from time to time. I'm not sure what all these issues with 4.2 are that you keep mentioning. It works fine for me. That's why I'll never upgrade.

If you want to look at my site (and say it sucks) feel free. You will need to register to use the MP3 player or post in the forum. By the way, the forum will not have many posts in it because it is not the main focus of my site. I found that vBulletin can be used to create more than just forum sites.

fyi...you will need to use Firefox or Chrome. The are incompatibilities with some of my code with IE which I am working on

Nice site but yes, it does load very, very slowly which will cause a large seo impact. You could probably shave some load time off just by optimizing your images and caching.

Nice looking site though.
