Thanks. Between the constant security issues for each release and things like the suppression of warning/error messages I have to say I'm very disappointing in the quality of this software.

Why is it that no sooner is a new version released then hackers find security holes? Don't the developers test their work? Why don't they see these holes before the release? You would think that after the first few times it happened the folks writing this stuff would get a clue and start doing more rigorous testing.

My clients would NEVER put up with this lack of quality control. My software is used in very large scale environments and the slightest errors can balloon into major problems in no time at all.

It's my understanding that vBulletin is used on over 100K sites which makes me wonder why more effort is not put into QA. Perhaps a rush to release a new (and expense) release to drive sales is the reason.

I've beaten this dead horse enough
