Before upgrading, don't forget to backup your database (and files).
Don't think, just upgrade :-D |

vB5 is totally different from vB3 or vB4. vB4 is similar to vB3 in the way it works, but you will not be able to use any vB3 styles in vB4 and many modifications will not work in vB4 that you used in vB3 - you will need to upgrade them. None of your styles or any of your modifications will work in vB5.

Do yourself a favor and read a few threads in this very forum about general vB5 experience.

vbulletin.com/forum is running vb5.
There is a demo of the vB5 Connect software here: http://www.vbulletin.com/en/vb5-trial/ There is a demo of the vB4 Publishing Suite here: http://www.vbulletin.com/en/vb4-trial/ |

I've still got our main forum on vb4.x and we just set up a new forum using Simple-Press. My vb developer has refused to upgrade us to vb5.x, from your comments just this past week i guess it isn't much better than it was this time last year? thanks, bart |

TBH I would still stick with vB4 and not go with vB5 yet.

@webducknj: Your vB dev is a wise man
Since most of the issues vB5 has are not exactly superficial, I personally doubt waiting will do vB5 much good. But maybe IB and vB5 will prove me wrong over time, who knows... |
