Default What is better, vB3 or vB4?
I have licence for vB 4 so I can use 4 and 3.

I want to know what is better and for what?

I know that vB 3 is old and vB4 still have some bugs as I can see... I really like style of vB3, vB4 is hard to read and I don't like navbar and login... But anyway maybe vB4 have more features...

What you think? Vote please and reply why you think that.

Thanks

That will all depend on who you ask... There are many threads regarding this very topic.
vb4 is growing on me after a year of messing around with it but, I like 3.8 more then 4.0.
I agree with your navbar comment, I do not like vb4 navbar.
Editing 3.8 is beyond simple compared to 4.0.... I can keep going....

I can edit navbar, I think it's just css and maybe html... But that's easy

Anyway, I'm asking because I'm start with vB4.2.2 and I'm like more style of vB3 but ok.
Now when I search I see a lot of bad comments and lot of good sites was choose xenForo in place of that.

I haven't money for xenForo, but I don't know what to choose from this 2. So you suggest 4?
Thanks.

Eight of the ten largest vBulletin boards use version 3.8. One of the ten is still using vBulletin 2. The one who "upgraded" to v4 still regrets it. I summarize the 3 v. 4 and 5 debate here.

I recommend version 3.8.8

Is your license for VB4 Suite or VB4 Forum Only? If VB4 Suite I would give the edge to VB4. If Forum Only it's a much harder decision IMO.

In the Member's Area does the link to download say-

Download vBulletin 4.x Forum

or

Download vBulletin 4.x Publishing Suite

Then you'll know.
