What Version of vB should I use for this type of site?

[theothersully]

I am developing a site with a lot of customization. There will be several features added on to vB using mods, plugins, as well as custom PHP code to reach into the MySQL DB. I'm also using vBSEO.

In the past, using Drupal as well as phpBB, I ran into problems after installing the newest versions. Why?

The newest versions didn't have enough mods/plugins/etc... developed for them yet.

What version of vB should I use to maximize the number of mods/plugins I can use to customize my installation?

PS: I wanted to ask this in the General Discussion area, but the board refuses to recognize that I bought two vB licenses this AM.

Thanks for any help!

Yeah, I did that over an hour ago. I own 2 licenses as of this AM. I guess I'll just wait a while longer. I'd really like to get started downloading my first copy of vB though.

Downloading vBulletin is done from the Members Area (members.vbulletin.com) as instructed in the email you have received when your purchase was completed. this has no relation to your license status on vb.org.

PS Your email address is not used on any license.

I understand this, thank you.

Make sure the email address you are using here is the same as the one at vb.com. Also, make sure you select vb.org under Site Permissions on that page you linked to.

Thanks, Lynne (and Marco).

I found the problem. It's called stupidity. I fell for the common email address snag. I originally posted on here using an address to curb spam since I didn't know you guys yet.

Thanks for all the help.
