Our board was originally set up in 2000 with phpBB and has migrated through a lot of stuff on the way to 4.2.2.
We are pretty happy with 4.2.2 but we wish that the vBulletin community, if not the developers would at least give CKEditor the attention that Sphinx has received. The most serious problem we find on our image intensive site is that new users running Apple and Windows 8 compulsively drag and drop images into posts.
CKEditor has a community just like this one and they, of course, have solved that problem in a number of ways both free and paid but the version of CKEdit in vBulletin is so heavily modified that no one seems willing to tackle installing a "standard" CKEditor and fixing this very annoying image problem.
This is my most glaring example of what it means to lose development support. The world is evolving and vBulletin is not keeping up.
The Facebook and Mobile Suite fiascoes cause us similar pain but it is not as obvious because the customers we do not get are invisible to us.
Since 4.2.2 is so stable and not really subject to change, why doesn't the developer community address these problems more aggressively?
