Its great to see the vBulletin Solutions team working hard on vB5. Based on that, my perception is it will be the best ever. BUT I have never tried it so I honestly don't know.
Based on the opinion of those who have tested vB5, which is the best vB to date? Is it still vB3 (seeing these forums still run it)?
Is vB 5, even in it's beta, better then vB4? is vB5 more server intensive than vB4?
Can't say that I'm with those who think going from vB4 to XF is best. vB5 has a lot of features that have been requested for vB4 and I for one am anxious to purchase and upgrade. Can't do that until April but I will be glad to upgrade. I love XF but vB5 will provide me with a lot of features that will help me in the long run.
vB4.2 has been extremely solid, I like it a bit more than 3.8.7.
in high loads of traffic vb4 is awful ... and you should get a expensive server plus doing so many server enhancements to be able balance the load ...
vb3 is so much better than vb4 , and XenForo is SO much better in handing too much traffic.
Personally I have 1 vb3 and 3 XF powered forums ... and I won't ever never switch to vb4 ... and at the moment I have no plan to test vb5 since XF is so stable .
