I meant you better be sure you patch your VB

I'd be far more sorry if I install vB3, which will have far more bugs and security holes due to it being "new" software. I update all security and other related bug fixes as there are found.

Plus who's going to be trying to find new exploits on vB2 when vB3 has just come out? Any serious hackers will be working on trying to find expoits in vB3.

I don't like half the crap on vb3.. eww, that QR box with all that JS stuff, it's *icky* ... I will end up hacking the sob to death once it comes out... eww, that threaded mode stuff, eww.. the horror... gives me the creeps

what upsets me is half the other stuff people requested didn't get added, like multiple attachments!!! WE WANT USEFUL COOL FEATURES.... NOT DUMB THINGS LIKE THREADED MODE!!! :ermm:

[Erwin]

LOL! True, if I wanted threaded, I would get wwwboard or something like that.

[Steve Machol]

FWIW threaded mode was one of the most requested features I've ever seen. Personally I don't care for threaded view, but just because you and I don't want it doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of people that do.

[Sebastian]

so was multiple attachments, and it wasn't implemented :ermm:
there were a lot of other requested things, more so than, eww, I can't even say it thr*ad*d mo*e.

what about a spell checker that actually works, like when previewing a post..

[Steve Machol]

I'm not arguing with you. Just pointing out a simple fact. Yes, not all requests made it into vB 3. I have no idea why some made it and some didn't. I do know that I personally saw a LOT more requests for threaded view than I ever saw for multiple attachments.

The fact is that not *everything* can be included. Otherwise the software becomes too bulky and unmanageable. Also some things are better left for hacks since only a small portion of people would ever be interested in them.

As we see, threaded mode divides the users.

well, it is the most requested feature by one part of the users, and the most hatable thing by another (i think greater part).

as long as we can choose for ourselfe to use it or not, i think it's acceptable. Just one thing: it shouldn't be then standard option in vb, because QR and all other good new(and old) features loose on worth so..

[Sebastian]

in my opinion "a lot of people requested it" could mean a handful, a poll would show the truth on how much more people hate it rather the "hand full" of people that requested it.. you please the handful that requested it, but what about the majority? sure there are ways to disable it, but we rather not have 'bulky' stuff in the code if it's not going to be used..

I wish vbulletin would throw ideas on the table (major additions) and poll them, I know it would be a hassle, but I am talking for bigger addons, then go with the majority rather than the 'handful' when adding big addons.

they are also turning vbulletin from a clean fast forum into java hell with all the javascripts that IN FACT slow and lag pages from loading..

[Erwin]

That's true. vB3 has been optimized from a PHP point of view, but the extra javascripts to keep the threaded, hybrid and quick reply box going does seem to slow thread viewing down.
