When does vBulletin plan on updating to VB5?

[dizzynation]

I am curious when vBulletin plan on updating to VB5? - And what are there thoughts on the reason why "they" are waiting.

These reason's can really help me decided when to upgrade as well, There must be some reason... Is it not up to par yet to trust on vb's own site?

Really curious, thanks!

Best if I quote Wayne really:

There are plans to upgrade to vBulletin 5. I don't know the specific version that will be used though. I guess it depends on regressions and testing on the current iteration.

There must be some reason...

Well, as it says in every beta release ;

we recommend you not utilize vBulletin Betas for live sites.

However, despite the above the VBC team are going to be looking at it soon.

We test upgrades of the vb.com database regularly, to help us find potential vB5 issues, many bugs fixed have been as a result of this testing.

Ok, thank you guys very much. I appreciate it and plan to use VB5 on 5 of my upcoming sites

Well, vB5 is not even ready for CMS, ect. So unless vB.com wants to break their own site with an unfinished product, it's going to be awhile.
