Looks like Paul says: 4.2.1 or 4.2.2
So the parts for my 2014 corvette don't fit in my 1969 corvette, which one is broke?

Justs because a vB4 mod does not work in vB3 does not mean anything is broke. Most of the mods are not cross version compatible, unless they are a plugin only mod.

I would go with 4.2.2 Patch Level 1 for now, later on you can upgrade to 4.2.3 once its out of beta and marked as "stable" because its ready and willing to work with php 5.4 being compliant and fixing more bug issues.

My personal opinion here but do not go to vB5 yet just bide your time and eventually it might run smooth like a 1967 Pontiac LeMans with a 326, mind you its not the GTO but it still runs smooth as silk if handled the right way so maybe just maybe one day we'll see vB5 "stable" as vB3 and 4 have been for some time now .

See my post on page one of this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....36&postcount=9

^ If its running fine i.e. "if it ain't broke don't fix it"

Thank you for the more positive of the comments and I do own a 1978 Corvette with 7,500 miles on it. No parts required.

Actually, what I'm looking for is a means of purging posts after a specified time limit. I won't go into what the posts are for fear of radicalized comments. This one would have worked except not on 3.8.9 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=275314

The other thing is the need to come up to speed for the smart phone / iphone users on my site. I own a copy of vBulletin Mobile Suite, but it might be overkill. I installed a style to try: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=263822 but it's too light. No Google ads and no attachment uploading.

Hacks at work here are: Event Attendance, FlashChat, Miserable Users (enough of those out there!), Mobile Device Detection, vBGallery, Post Thank You and Post Groan, Prevent Double Posts, vBCode Table, etc.

It's been a long vB ride since 2004 and my boards started in 1996 with WebBBS so I've been around and through several servers.

I am running: vBulletin 3.8.7 Patch Level 3

Now that vBulletin has fractured into three different followings, 3, 4 and 5, what the hell do I do? Has anyone made sense of this random senseless drift in a marketing scheme? I have purchased ALL upgrades to vBulletin so that's not the problem. Which one is working at the top shelf quality that used to be vBulletin? Where do I go from here? My long term philosophy has been, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Hell yeah, if it aint fixed, don't break it... err.

I agree, I don't see why vBulletin doesn't maintain three different product lines, 3, 4, and 5.

vB3 does everything we want, it's paid for, and it's got a few mods we cannot live without. We couldn't switch to vB4 or 5 if we wanted to.

I hate to be silly here, but most people are not buying new licenses for vBulletin 3, and since we don't get money outside of new licenses, or professional upgrades/installs on 3, we're not making money on 3. There for....

You've made money on me! I've bought upgrades to 4 AND 5 and just about anything you've sold over the years. It's just that the upgrades have turned into downgrades and I decided to hold onto a stable foundation.

I replied to that thread- I suspect it will work and told you how to test it.

Oh sure, you are right, but that is because they are not actively developing v3, I would say. Speaking for our group, if vBulletin released a v3.9 that included Downloads II, more and better spam prevention, a super Award Manager, & better mobile integration, we would buy the license again, gladly. We've used vb3 for 6 years, we have gotten our $175 worth from it many times over.
