What will happen to 1st page? Is anyway to construct it from the beginning?
The first page of vb4 cannot connect users (username and password).
So I would like features like rss feeds from other sites , weather plugin and youtube channel
Also I would like to install new templates (black-orange , red-black and black-white) .


What is your opinion about plugins
Here is my vb4 forum

Please advice me!
Copy your vB4 forum database and folder to a new directory let's say /vbtest/ and make sure it loads there! *Remember to change the config.php file so it connects to the NEW (copied) database.

Once the site loads fine there, but you know it's a copy (someone may post on the actual site, and then you'll see how each differs). Now you can follow the steps to upgrade from vB4 to vB5 and see how the site looks in vBulletin 5, at the "test" URL which is www.yoursite.com/vbtest/ <-- which will load your site in vBulletin 5 if done correctly.

Once you have that working, this is how your site would look in vBulletin 5 format, remember to check for styles and plugins you may wish to install, so you can test those now prior to launching the (new vB5) site.

*Finally, once you have things as you wish them to be, you can basically repeat the process on the live site, but now you already have a list of plugins you installed on the test site (and the files for those plugins already downloaded) and you can export your style out from the test site, and once your live site is updated to vB5 you import your theme and voila! You're site is now powered by vBulletin 5 instead of 4!
