vBulletin 5 - When and What to Expect

[vijayninel]

vBulletin 4 was released 14 months ago and at the time there were some indications given that we should expect a 18-24 month life cycle. So if my estimate is correct then we should have vBulletin 5 before the end of this year or in early 2013.

Some of my thoughts and questions on vB5 are:

1. I was wondering if anyone in the know (esp the caped avatar people) could drop us some vague hints on what time range to expect.

2. I expect vB5 to be a continuation of vB4 but some major features should be there. Any guesses on what they might be?

3. Will there be a public beta this time around?

4. How well will vB5 carry over vB4 mods?

Please let us know of your thoughts.
