vB5.0.5, is it really that bad?

[Alan_SP]

Now I had this thing with passwords, so I had (pretty stupid at that) question about our passwords for members and I tried to post something.

This experience lead me to write this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...ding-something

First post is:

Anyway, I tried to post something (you can read, if you want it), after I pressed post reply I started to download something??? Also, there was endless "working" in top center of screen. I made two attempts, after that I just went out of thread and saw that my post was actually posted.

So, working with vB5 is more shocking and awe inspiring that even the worst description I had read. Users couldn't post normally posts. Just to say, I own two vB licenses, I manage my own server, not that this is first post I try to make on vB platform. And yes, I don't know how to post on vB5 platform. This is really educating experience for me.

Maybe it would help you to know, I'm using Opera. But still, number of bugs and places where they are is very interesting.

I must say, I'm very interested how posting this topic will go now when I try to post it. My fingers are crossed.

Hey, this is excellent. :up:

Everything was the same. Again I tried to download something after I pressed Post, endless "working" was there too, but I'm much wiser man now. I knew that this are things that don't need to bother me, thread was created, I checked this as I reloaded Site Feedback forum (this one). And yes, I report here how I'm thrilled to see that posting is possible on vB5.0.5, even if it don't look like it actually works.

Great, you really make excellent software. :up:

For those of you who are irony blind, I'm pretty much ironic, sarcastic and very sad right now. I like vB very much as platform. But, who to explain to my users how to post their posts on vB5 platform if it is such pleasant experience?

Well, I must say that I didn't expect that this is so bad with vB5.0.5. I read many people have many problems, but that mere posting simple post requires learning curve, that I'll need to imploy my (not so impressive) intelligence just so I could post something on vB5 platform?

Well, maybe it is Opera, I want try FireFox, I really don't want to know, but I want to ask you, is it really that bad? Some of you use vB5 more than me who just tried to post (pretty stupid) question there, you know much better than I what's situation actually.

And yes, how to explain my possible users how to use vB5, as it is right know?

Sorry, I'm a bit shocked. It will pass.

vB4.05 was bad. Just takes time for improvements.
