I'm installing it now on my dead XenForo forum. It wasn't doing nothing but just sitting there anyway. What's New in vBulletin 4.2 Alpha 1? Activity Stream - VBIV-13946 Navigation Manager - VBIV-8393 & VBIV-3058 Members who have Visited Today - VBIV-14582 Cron-based Batch Email Sending - VBIV-14583 UserCP Reputation Display - VBIV-14584 Reputation Notification - VBIV-14585 User Profile Reputation Display - VBIV-14586 Who has Read a Thread - VBIV-14587 Doublepost Prevention - VBIV-14588 Enhanced Reputation Checks - VBIV-14651 Updated Readme. Integration with Post Release - Company Website I can't believe they finally have a navigation manager. That's wassup.
They've definitely made an effort with this one. Now, if only we had an nicer looking ACP and they udpated the frontend style . . .
NO NO NO lol, leave the admincp alone, horrible to look at but functional sound, IPB went for the nice looking admincp and it was/is horrible to get anything done. Not fussed about the front end either really as i never use the default skin for anything. Cosmetics is nothing , id rather see everything working and being more server freindly ( in terms of resources ) than anything else or YET MORE features. The above is a good move in the right direction though, i think more than anything it shows that the people they have brought in from Modders on VB.org are having a good influence on development .
I wish vBulletin would give the option in the CP to order the left hand side-bar and the contents of vB Options alphabetically. Life would be so much easier.
This is all nice but I would rather see an effort at developing version 5. The code base is getting dated and long overdue for a complete re-write.
Well, if they're gonna charge almost a full license price for people who have already bought it, I hope the VB5 will come in 10 years. Am sick and tired of paying, getting my site messed up, having to re-design all the stuff etc. Well might actually have no more licenses to renew, if I get to some big bucks will move all the VBs to xenforo.
I hate vBulletin now. I tried twice to install it on one of my sites and I ran into so many problems configuring stuff, I gave up. Xenforo 4 Life.
I personally like the 4.2 version. The only thing I don't like it everyone lands on the activity feed as the first page. I am sure there is a way to stop this but I haven't dug deep enough into it yet to find out. On my one vb powered forum, I am using 4.2 and so far I enjoy it
You do know that it takes 15 steps just to get from a to b? Right? While that doesn't bother me, many casuals will be turned off.
I may buy a Vbulletin license and give it a go to fully learn it. that admin panel is horrible though.
the way the admin panel in VB is set up is way more....involved than anything i have used on XF and IPB.
