    What I've tried to do in this thread, is provide advice for how best to get the requested changes implemented, within the confines of the system that is in use. That system isn't going to change, so the best advice is to work with it. Far from being 'screw you', my posts will help people to have the greatest chance of having their suggestions implemented.

      What I don't get is why the vBulletin development process needs to be so strict that customers struggle to get their voices heard. Other software like XenForo and Woltlab Burning Board are so much better at hearing customer's suggestions. I requested two features over at Woltlab and both were implemented. The reason that it is so smooth is that the developers are on the forums reading suggestions and talking to customers. The fact the vB developers don't even read these sorts of threads is exactly why customer's feel that they are ignored, because the Support team have no influence on what gets implemented and there is no way of getting a new feature without using the wonderful JIRA, which is filled with an obscene amount of bug reports.

        Even if it could be done via the forums, it would still be best practice to include demo screenshots from the actual product, not a re-imagined version.

        Obviously this is not going to be implemented and nothing is being done according to JIRA. They are obviously not seeing how much of a flaw there is that there is no true notification system in vBulletin...makes me question the way management and developers think about vB5...

        Let this sink in, its been almost 2 years since this was released and we still don't have an acceptable product here.

          Give it 6 months and it'll be EOL when vBulletin 6.0.0 Alpha 1 is released as a stable product with a $200 upgrade fee.
