I mean, there's a lot of things I like about it.

But there's a lot I want my forum to do that it can't right now. And I'm starting to think vB5 may have been a huge mistake.

In general, vB5 was a terrific idea that was poorly executed.

Fortunately the simple solution is, kill the vB5 site and switch to vB4. There are a couple thousand add-ons available for vB4 that might meet your needs. And many people will do custom development for it.

I wouldn't hold your breath, vB5 was released 4 years ago and it took this long to get where it is today. So, that should give you an idea of how quickly (or not) things happen.
