vB5 is unequivocally the best forum software, but not yet...Comment

it is quite clear....
If you use vBulletin 4, you get support under the vBulletin 4 license.
If you use vBulletin 5, you get support under the vBulletin 5 license.
If you upgrade your vBulletin 4 license to vBulletin 5 and use vBulletin 5, you will get support under the vBulletin 5 license.
Since no one should be using vBulletin 5 on their live site, this isn't even an issue right now.Translations provided by Google.

while vb5 does have a future (once it actually works and is feature complete) it's best use will be on a new site and not as an upgrade to an existing forum. Its just to different then what most of our users are used to. We'll be exploring its use for some more social based sites our clients want to develop.Comment

I don't think a customer should be expected to buy something with the condition that you have to see through bugs. I will check back in six or seven months when a stable release is on the horizon. This whole thing sounds like Groundhog Day starring vB4.You can pay more...but you can't buy better than the Ford.Comment

True, but....
I think the comments about it not being much of a discount for existing vB4 users are probably valid but in reality even on that issue I can't make an informed judgement: If the calendar and CMS replacement came out in a month and if it all worked I wouldn't be that unhappy.Comment

Calendar and CMS will not be released in a month after release. The Release Plans thread makes it fairly clear that they won't be added back in until a 5.1 release. It states within 4-6 weeks that a bugfix release will be made to clean things up and then we'll get on to adding back in features. The release plan was emailed to all customers on the mailing list as well as posted on these forums.Translations provided by Google.

I am hopeful that 5 will be good. I guess I won't know until I can test it out myself. The one thing I will say is that they have made it incredibly hard to install. If someone with as much experience as me is struggling to install it what are noobs going to do? I have been TRYING to install a test site ever since the beta was released. Still no luck. Just want to also add that when you release something, have current installation information in the download. I found out 2 days later about how to upgrade, too late then!Comment

And what's the release date for 5.1...?
The pricing is a direct result of people "feeling pressured" to buy in the 4.X presale. We don't want you to feel pressured so there is a lot discount.

So what's the release date for 5.1 then?Comment

At least several months after the 5.0 release. How many months depends on the scope. We realize you can't upgrade until the CMS is added and do acknowledge that. That is why we sent out the Release Plans notifications so people would understand.
4.2.0 and the upcoming 4.2.1 will continue to serve your needs and when the CMS is ready for 5.X then we encourage you to explore your options and do what is best for your community at that time.Translations provided by Google.

Nah, I'd rather point out the flaws in your poorly-constructed logic/clarify for other people when you are deliberately distorting the truth, so they don't assume that the utter nonsense that you spew is actually correct.
So, you Upgraded, and expected to keep support as it was under the previous license. As it's none of my business, I'll just assume you failed to read the information provided.My Live vB5 Site - NZEating.com
