3. vBulletin 5 has a limited amount of plugins. If you absolutely need certain complex plugins then your best bet is to stay at vBulletin 4.
4. Not that I know of, but vbulletin.com displays all of the features of vBulletin 5. https://www.vbulletin.com/en/features/

Thanks Dave! I'm still exploring to see what add-ons are currently supported in 5.4, I'm also checking add-ons for higher versions of vb4..
Hard to do as I'm not very savvy at locating these things. ..lol
I don't think I have the vb5 license so that will factor in my decision for sure. Your help is appreciated. Thanks.
