vBulletin 5 Connect Beta 16 has been released

[vB.Org System]

vBulletin 5 Connect Beta 16 is NOW AVAILABLE for vBulletin 5 Connect license holders to download, as well as, for prospective customers to preview at www.vbulletin.com/vb5demo/.

Beta 16 contains resolutions to 113 issues. Among the biggest enhancements are improvements to Blog functionality, the Site Builder, and several fixes for the Mobile Suite. While we do not recommend running beta versions on live sites, we encourage you to use a test site for that purpose. For live sites, vBulletin 4.2 is an excellent choice.

The vBulletin 5 Connect Beta 16 feedback thread for licensed customers is HERE. (You must be logged in to view this link.) We greatly appreciate and use your feedback to improve vBulletin.

(Note: As with all beta releases, we aren't able to provide phone or ticket support for Beta 16. Customers purchasing a vBulletin 5 Connect license will receive 30 days of free ticket support, starting with the Gold release of the software.)
