When will we see the beta use the database from these forums so we can really compare vB5 to vB4 in layout, speed and compatibility?

Answer to your question is, very easily. Unfortunately a fix for an item can break an item that was previously working. This is the case no matter what is being developed when it gets to this kind of scale. Happens to me on an almost weekly basis.Comment

You're server seems to have a drastically reduced query string limit. About 512 characters instead of the default 8192.Translations provided by Google.

I took one quick look over it and noticed that there's quite heavy use of Bootstrap, and shuddered.
Why would a professional product such as vBulletin even consider implementing Bootstrap code? I don't know how deep the dependence goes on it, but as a developer I won't be touching the new vBulletin. Bootstrap is an amazing piece of open source code which is great, and I take my hats off to the guys who made it but it has no place in something such as vBulletin. There's numerous problems with using it, in particular there commonly being no backwards compatibility when the Bootstrap guys release updates. Are the VB Devs going to screw around with things just so nothing gets broken every time there's a Bootstrap update? Or just rely on an old version of Bootstrap forever? Why not use something more commonly known/reliable such as jQuery UI for many common objects? What about designers who want to implement new Bootstrap features but can't without entirely screwing a default design? There's a million possible scenarios.
Also... There's a tonne of pretty simple validation errors Looks like my main vBulletin forum will be remaining on 3.x until I work out what to do.Last edited by Off_Topic; Thu 8 Nov '12, 4:17am.Comment

I just saw some of the design elements and recognized Bootstrap. Even if it's only the CSS, it would have the same issues as any part of Bootstrap. Checking the CSS source seems to confirm it and it's an outdated version. Why using an outdated version is undesirable: https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap/wiki/Changelog -- the majority of their fixes are strictly CSS related.
Current version of Bootstrap is 2.2.1 and on further inspection, just about every piece of open source code used in vBulletin is relying on old versions, just check: http://www.vbulletin.com/vb5demo/js/footer-rollup.js?v= what concerns me is that vulnerabilities may exist in these. Not to mention the heavy reliance on open source products from a tonne of different locations. Nearly impossible to keep it all up to date.Last edited by Off_Topic; Thu 8 Nov '12, 5:14pm.Comment

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...-
