With the greatest of respect, vBulletin 5 is dog sh*t. Why do you think so many major mod developers left the platform? There has been discussions on this very board where the staff have said this. There is extremely poor mod support in comparison to vB3-4 and overall, the platform is just extremely poorly made and thought through.

I've tried vB5. I currently hold a license for vB3, vB4 and vB5. I tried it during alpha, beta and the final release. I've tried newer versions. It's awful. It is NOT a good evolution of the software in any way, shape or form.

It's also the main reason you'll find many newer boards switching software to xenForo/IPB etc. It isn't up to standard. Many boards who updated to vB5 ended up either trying to downgrade back to vB4 or switch to an alternative software that is far better for their means than the absolute sh*t show that is vB5. The only issue with downgrading to vB4 is the fact it's EOL, so unless you are able to upgrade it yourself (or know someone who can) it's not ideal to do these days. Otherwise, vB4 sh*ts all over vB5. And then some.

OP, sorry for derailing the thread with this. But I absolutely refuse to be told vB5 is an adequate solution when it clearly isn't. I hope this project goes well for you.
