Now that I'm creating another vB4 forum I'm really curious as to what I've missed out on in the past 8 months. The first thing I'm going to do is look for the vB4 equivalent of the TMS (Template Modification System) on xenForo. One thing I absolutely hated beyond all things vB4-related is having to revert templates after an upgrade. The TMS system mostly prevents webmasters from having to do that. It's awesome.
good luck!:P
And yeea, TMS is a must have

I was really happy with XenForo and had even begun learning how to create my own addons for the software and had added so many resources such as styles and template modifications that I became the most active. Unfortunately, the honeymoon is over. One of the things I missed from vBulletin 4 was the CKEditor and the fact that I can create and have as many styles on my site as I wanted to. Another major thing is that whenever I install or uninstall a style or addon it breaks the entire website and the site goes blank. I've lost members cause of that. They don't want to sign on anymore because their scared the site will go down.
The cache rebuild is a big problem, but it was IMO your fault:P
You shouldn't install/deinstall styles & plugins daily:P
That's why you should have at least 1 test board to test them and then after testing make a list of all the add-ons / styles you want to install, make a announcement that you'll close the forum for some maintenance work at midnight(or whenever your site have not many online users and you have time..)
