I remember 1-2 years ago when VB4 just came out, people were criticizing how it was somewhat worse than VB3. The forum seems to be slower with VB4, making a style for VB4 forum was a difficult task that even advanced designers were struggling with. Its been a long time since VB4's development, what do you think about it now? Is it finally time to upgrade your VB3 if you have one? Or do you think it will take longer for VB4 to surpass VB3, and maybe never ever happen in VB4's lifetime? Whats your opinion?

Aren't there a few threads on this topic?
I'd say vB4 is better now than when it was first released.
I haven't noticed anything breaking in the last few updates.
Still missing many basic features in the CMS....steven

Functionally the two are very similar. It is really a question of if you need the new features that vB4 offers, such as the CMS, Facebook integration, and mobile app. I personally don't care for mobile or facebook, and I programmed my own portal, so I still use vB3. Of course vB3 is EOL so there is that.Comment

vB4 is better (for us), I like the new templates, cKeditor, newer style and a bunch of other little things.

Thread #1612 on this topic.
Mobile apps are available for vb3 as well.
vb4 has 800 bugs. The CMS has many issues. vb3 has few issues.
vb4 does have a new editor, which is a very small benefit.
vb4 has a few very interesting addons that could be worth upgrading for.I buy 420 forums
