I've gone back and forth probably 100 times whether or not I want to upgrade to 4.1.2. Right now I'm on 3.8.4, very happy with it, at the very least I would upgrade to 3.8.7.

I set up a test forum for 4.1.2 and here are some things I've noticed.

- Page load lags... seems to take a little longer to load normal pages, doesn't seem as fluid as 3.x... I am on a semi-dedicated server so it can't be that.

- Editing styles can be very challenging... this could especially be true for new owners with no experience. vB took away the simplicity and made things harder to customize, of course IMO. What drew me to vbulletin 9 years ago was the simplicity of the software... not to bash the developers, but I don't think they took us into consideration. Not everyone is an expert in design and customization.

- Adding tabs or nav links aren't as easy. Shouldn't this be a rather simple procedure? I don't want to deal with crazy conditions.

- And like many others have already stated, it seems like 4.x is more bloated than 3.x.
