Not entirely sure what you mean by "bunch of legacy menus" from vB4, but the ACP hasnt been altered really - unless you mean some options that no longer do anything are still there. I think they are slowly being removed (where its been decided the option will never return).

Was seeing errors in my PHP log about bad code with 4.2.x so I wanted to upgrade to the latest and greatest. I figured it'd been enough time that vb5 had been out so it'd be stable - which for the most part it is - I just didn't realize how much of a shock to the system it'd be.

For the ACP menus - I have a blank row that takes me to what appears to be an add-on from 4.x even though I didn't copy any files over from vb4. I might have been mistaken with vB Spell and vB Survey not being a legacy product, but Google Analytics menu is completely useless - I put in my analytics information and it didn't add analytics to my site at all. It took me a little while to realize it, so in the analytics screenshots at the bottom of my post you'll see it go dead for a period of time -- that was while I had my analytics code in the "Google Analytics" settings before I realized it wasn't working and I manually added it into my footer template.

Here's the real tale of vBulletin 4 versus vBulletin 5... In almost every metric on Google Analytics - my YTD metrics are down by half. The *only* change was from vb4 to vb5 and being down during the upgrade and that's it. As stated previous paragraph above - I didn't realize the "Google Analytics" settings menu doesn't actually do anything... so while I thought Analytics was monitoring my site it really wasn't, hence the period where the metrics are 0. Once I realized it wasn't measuring I manually put the analytics code into my footer.
