The most *stable* version

[FoundationalOne]

Hello all...I want to get some objective feedback here.
I recently went live with VB 5 connect and it is off to a very rocky start. (And I have enabled literally zero hooks/apps/ads/etc)
I have been flooding the VB team with tickets over the last week...and there is some downright scary talk over in the VB5 forum area.

I am seriously considering paying the VB team to do the professional install of VB 4.X

My question to the experienced users here is: Which is the most stable version of the software you have used to date?
Is it 4.1.X or can I safely risk using 4.2.X?

I was thinking that it would be better to start over and beg forgiveness for the interruption in service to 30 members now....rather than keep putting band aids on what I have and having to blow it all up when I have 300 members six months from now.

I really appreciate any and all feedback.
My site is off to a faster start than I thought it would...and this first week of non-stop issue reporting has me really spooked about what the future may hold if I stay on VB 5.

4.2.2 is the latest stable version and it is not practical to roll back. Best option as you mentioned is a fresh start with 4.2.2.

We don't recommend using 4.1.X on production sites at this time. If you do run 4.1.X and have issues, you'll need to upgrade to 4.2.2 in order to get support.

If you're going with 4.x then 4.2.2 is your best bet- I'd be the first person open to debate but there really is no debate over which is the best of the 4.x line.

Thanks for the feedback gents. I really appreciate it.

And now for the $64k question....is there any way to pull the forum structure and or posts that are currently up in VB5....or am I going to have to tell my members that we are in a total "do-over" situation?

Thanks again!

It is start over I am afraid, it is technically possible to export to free forum software and import to vb 4 but frought with dangers and I believe not a perfect solution anyway.

Oooof. Understood....and I really don't want to honk around with anything that would impact the install...:/ That's why I am here in the first place.

Thanks for the help.
