I can tell you that it took me a while to get familiar at all with vb5 as a lot of things has changed in the way it is set up. After some time though I am getting somewhat accustom to it. Searching for answers on the web though and I seem to find more discontent with vb5 than answers.
I did find one of the previous codes work with the new topics menu item, will also give the one you did a try.
I am finding some of the favorite plugins are not available [been written for] vb5 which is a disappointment, as some I liked that I previously used on version 4 I do not have available for ver 5.
Ones I would like to see is...

other issues are...
mark channels read - is not working at the top menu but is working on the bottom of the forum list yet they seem to have the same url [from hovering the mouse over the link)
Could not get the contact us form to send email even though the diagnostic test worked, so just created a new page with the contact email and changed the menu url to get around it.
No matter how I changed the xml sitemap url / file or folder permissions it would not work, so installed a stand alone xml sitemap generator.
It is lacking some seo, and has limited moderator capabities
