It is a radical departure from previous versions.

And yes, if you already have a vB installation and want to "upgrade" none of your custom styles will work, none of your modifications will work, and none of your custom template edits or custom CSS will work.

There are very few customizations and styles for v5 because very few coders want to mess with it.

If you don't have a previous version and vB5 is your first experience, that's a bit of a different topic.

My own personal experience was that everything, literally everything f**ked up!

*photo upload link was broken and never fixed
*profile pages crashed
*people were unable to post or edit their profiles
*posts and threads kept crashing

those were the biggest issues. i cant remember what else when wrong.... oh yea, user promotions NEVER worked. The list was endless

I was glad to see the back of it tbh and never looked back.

So are you guys talking about Vb5.0.x or Vb5.1.x when you say lots of issues with Vb5. They seem to have resolved a number of issues since the 5.0 release.

I still would recommend vB4.2.2, you can always upgrade to 5 at a later date.
