To those who actually decided to buy the early beta, how does the code look like to you? Is it a major improvement in terms of style compared to legacy vB 3/4? Is a MVC design pattern visible?
How does the code look like?

Yeah I'd like to know about this too. Using more object-oriented code may result in slower initialization/loading time, but I'd say it's worth the trouble. If VB5's slowness is partially caused by its MVC usage, I'd be perfectly fine with it. -
I'd love to hear a professional coders opinion of VB5.
We've already had some opinions from the likes of Digitalpoint and a few others, which weren't too good. (To put it mildly)
It really does feel and look like SOME the product was outsourced for cheap.Comment

As far as i know Shawn didn't check the source code yet so stating his name is completely wrong.Comment

Yep... Just to clarify, I have not seen any vB5 source code. So slow and so many queries, I'm certain it's beyond fixing at least for my use (so I have no interest in even seeing it).Sphinx Search for vBulletin 4: https://marketplace.digitalpoint.com...tin-4.870/item

I'm considering buying it just to see the code and this new fantastic admin panel they have been raving about, but I am wondering if it's worth the A$174? Meh.A computer without Microsoft Windows is like a chocolate cake without mustard.

However on the bright side of things...
IF the right changes are made this could be great, it just needs a few tweaks here and there and a few more upgrades. I'm not sure how the new plugin replacement system is going to work. It is obviously that its not even near ready and im confused why they released it when they still have so much to do.
The new vBulletin syntax is nice of what I've seen but I've only just started looking at the styles.
I'd say buy it if you're a big fan of vB and willing to take a risk, the risk being if it's not improved a lot then it could be a big waste of money in my opinion. Feel free to PM me if you want to see any screenshots of anything👍 1Comment

by blagrangeI would think you'd be able to change to look like 4.2 if you wanted? The forums don't have the distinct block like layout anymore.
