Looking forward to all new vB5 Mods!

[Scanu]

I give a fast look to a BOP5 mod, so basically in vbulletin 5 if you don't know OOP you can't do an extension

I don't have vB5, but as soon as I get cash (probably in December. vB5 should be 'good' by then), I will try and port my mods to vB5. But I am still learning vB4...

So...

I was just checking out the beta, and Applecraft's website, I hate to say, but I am not impressed with VB5 thus far. It may be too much of a radical departure from what we know as the established norm. That could be a good thing *shrug*

I am worried about one thing. Users do not like changes. Look at what happened recently to facebook when they introduced the timeline. Everywhere you go people were complaining about that. And so many others suffered the same fate. Even mighty microsoft suffered from that at one point.

I purchased vb5 thinking it was ready for prime-time. Well, big mistake!

Dummy that I am, I receive the email about the launch of vb5, went to their website and was blown away by the presentation, and then immediately bought it as an upgrade for my forum at clubnook.com.

I had some problems installing it, contacted vb about it, and that's when I was told that it is beta and that I should not use it now. Well, son of a gun! The only reason I bought it is because of all of their advertisement on their website saying I could use it to upgrade. I didn't see anything about it not being ready.. at least not in the ads. It may have been there, but I just didn't see it.

Anyway, I think the new features are awesome. I also think the admin area is a lot better.

Now the waiting begins . . .

@Derwin
1. NEVER upgrade without a backup
2. NEVER upgrade without doing a test site first, especially with a major new release
3. See point 1
4. vB said it was a Beta release in many places
5. See point 1

It reminds me of IPB 3.0. Not liking it!

[Shazz]

Why rush to buy, wait and see proof of a stable version

I was under the mistaken impression that one must never upgrade without a backup. Thanks for making it so amply clear to us.
