Not impressed at all and don't foresee me upgrading any of my sites (I have 6 I run under 4 accounts) to this. I really don't like how they are trying to squeeze money out of everyone. Jelsoft never tried to screw us over like these people are and I am done with vBulletin. Any further upgrades my sites need will be done using different software.

Thanks for the demo.
It's not as bad as many people say (I've read all the comments) but it needs time to fix everything.
With much work it can be a stable product in about 6 months.
Huge css file is not a real problem but the class usage and logic...the unnecessary javascript effects...(or for example 24 cookies sent to display one page) gives hard time to browsers throw out the rendered page.
Especially hard time for mobile browsers.
I like the general layout but there should be an improvement on distinguishing different type (blog, group etc.) of posts.
I'll revisit in February to think about the upgrade and new licenses. Keep it up the good work!Last edited by goyo; Thu 13 Sep '12, 12:14pm.Comment

Blimey, I visited there yesterday and thought it was a god awful mess, I just registered there today as things looked a heck of a lot better, I am astonished at how much improved it feels today, I don't know if it's just me having got over the initial shock of the 'newness' of vB5 or if radical improvements really have occurred since yesterday.
I have to admit I was hasty yesterday in my opinion, I am coming to really like vB5 now, I am there now having a look around and the more I see as a registered member the more I am liking what I see, darn it, now I am going to have to try to find a way to afford the upgrade.VB The Next Social Media plugin!
I don't buy VB5!

Slow as a wet week and have never seen so many bugs in a Beta before. Maybe in an Alpha, but not in a Beta. Looks terrific and highly customisable, though.A computer without Microsoft Windows is like a chocolate cake without mustard.

Apparently yes -> https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...=1#post2334242
Apparently the developers of VB5 did not know that MySQL primary key ids, even if they are autonumbered, can be inserted at random, provided there are no duplicates. Really the epic level of failures here are beyond words... I really am at a loss of words here to explain what really has just happened with VB5The 47 Ronin Gaming - www.47r-squad.comComment

Either way, it's not entirely fair to blame them.When the meteor came crashing to Earth, I bet the dinosaurs were roaring at it in the hope of scaring it away. That didn’t work out so well for them. - Matt.Comment

It's important to remember what Paul M said about alphas and betas, the meaning is slightly different to the norm:
Alpha: Non-public
Beta: Public
That's all the beta label currently means here - it's moved into a "public" phase.MARK.B

I know everyday you release a beta but refer to that rule you should continue with alpha until you release it public where you name it (Beta1) the first release for the public, not Beta10
Anyhow, I wish Beta 11 can change our impression about vb5 performanceSignature test :)Comment

I will not be upgrading to vB5. We will be looking to transfer our vB4 forum to IPB where we can have a better CMS type system and an overall better experience.Comment

I'm going to enjoy seeing you explain the gold release meaning.When the meteor came crashing to Earth, I bet the dinosaurs were roaring at it in the hope of scaring it away. That didn’t work out so well for them. - Matt.👍 1Comment

Updated, yes, and cleaner yes, but perhaps too much of a change. it looks and feels like a simple, dumbed-down version of a forum, and there are really no visible design...-
