That is bad and weird. I'll see what I can do about that. We don't have any upgrade data there. I've made note on my desk to test the ids after a test upgrade a bit later today.
I'll also report the weird http headers regardless.Comment

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 VB5
Of course they are aware of the fact, its not relevant since there WILL be duplicates, everything is a node, forums, blogs, threads, posts etc, so there would be multiple clashes.Baby, I was born this wayComment

Im sorry but very disappointing... its slow and very dull looking will be sticking with vb4 until it gets 100% better ..and i was looking forward to it ...Comment

Anyways, at the time of making the comment, I did not recall that the various content types were now using a single node table. Still like I said elsewhere, at least the thread ids could have been preserved saving on at least 80% of mapping overheads for most sites. Like I said elsewhere, I am not a fan of the single node table. If for some reason, all data is really required in an aggregated view, I would create a materialized view with auto-refresh from the individual tables. But yes, a case can be made for a single node table for multiple data types, but for an application like VBulletin and with such vast dependence of IDs for so many things, I wouldn;t have taken the call.Owner: Oracle Forums - General Discussion Forums.Comment

I know this would be not the funniest task, but there needs to be found a way in the router to translate old incoming links to whatever ressource to new ones. Could probably be done on the basis of filenames. If you're not providing it yourself, at least make sure all old id information is kept in a legacy id column, along with a legacy content type column in the node table. So that third parties at least have the chance to come up with a solution.Comment

I'm hoping the speed is just an issue with everyone trying to get on, because I can't even load the front page at this point. Not the best start...
I still feel that the activity stream (even on VB4) is a waste of time. It always seems to slow things down, especially for bigger communities. This can all be achieved with a side bar with latest posts / blogs etc etc... That always seemed pretty fast.Comment

umm I personally dont think VB5 is that much impressive, but it's about as good as VB4 so I won't say its that bad either. I guess people have sky-high expectation for VB5, something that cannot be helped after what VB promised for their new product?
Anyway, I believe it's not professional for VB support staff to call members 'tools' on this website over arguments. You are a service provider, and moreover we've paid hundreds of dollars for your product. We have every right to complain, although nowadays I won't recommend flaming wars since it won't help anything. I do, however, get rather upset over glitches and flaws that have been brought up like more than a year ago but yet to be fixed, good example was the who's online page when a user was miraculously viewing his/her own VMs. It happened about a year ago I guess, hopefully this time you guys can do better.Comment
