In the beginning, I didn't get this, when vB 5 even said on the purchase page that it was a Beta. But we got the disgruntled "unfinished product" threads anyway. And now that this kind of thread can be found here, on vB.com and on every website devoted to being a forum admin, I still don't get it. Who's buying vB 5 now with blinders on? As I said before, I don't even buy a .99 cent app without first reading the reviews. It's not like you can't Google it. Again, who's to blame for buying software that doesn't work? If it doesn't work, then it can't be to hard to find out first. You don't just go by the spiel on the website's home page. Crazy Larry thinks his deals are great, too.
