Yes, and with vB 4 you have elements with CSS classes which also makes customization much easier, whether you are adding CSS or adding a template hook you need on the fly. vB 4 stores more data in arrays, while vB 3 will return a wall of table related HTML...I much prefer the arrays.

Both version have their merits of course, but as a coder, I find vB 4.2.x to be easier to work with in many ways.

Dave, I think you are also correct about the reason vBorg has not upgrade to vB 4...porting the products/styles would be a nightmare.
