With that said, I am on v4.00 PL1 and have to restrict use of some features due to bugs. I have been patient for many months; I already know that v4.04 will be ready when it's ready.
A more positive or constructive response would be similar to "vb4.04 is currently in the test phase. As part of our faith in v4.04, we have upgraded vbulletin.com to allow each of you to experience the v4.04 stability and it's new features. Our target release date is 6/18; however, we must be sure we are confident in the ongoing quality of the product. Please be patient as we are working as quickly as possible to provide you with this next release. We will report status to you by Thursday (6/17) to confirm the 6/18 release date." This provides status and target deliverable dates that should satisfy the tech savvy, not so savvy, and those taking flak from their customers.
What some don't realize is that the vb4.xx pattern shows that v4.04 will probably be followed by PL1, etc.. When vb is truly ready, I'll upgrade. Until then I hope I vb will share appropriate and informational periodic status updates of what they are working on.
The bottom line... the folks at vbulletin need to remember who they truly work for. Without a paying customer, upgrades are not necessary.WestCoastGearHeads.com vb 4.1.10Comment

Sorry, but "ready when it's ready" is pretty much an Internet meme for those type of questions.

I'm not quite sure why this thread isn't closed yet.
The same points have been made several times and there's no expectation that anything will be learned here.
But, the more important question is... panties? lol That can't be comfortable.WestCoastGearHeads.com vb 4.1.10Comment

I think that is the point that some are making. As a project manager, if a programmer tells me it will be ready when it's ready, I perceive it as a "I don't have to answer to you" type remark, which is also perceived as emotional and could be negative to some... they should, as you put it "shut their mouth." In business, which vBulletin certainly is, perception is Everything.

I did not post the question and it is in the wrong place, but to all of you taking shots at the person who asked it and me who did not like the answer, you need to remember this is what this site is here for. For current and potential customers to ask question from staff and get answers. It is not a place for adult juveniles to take pot shots at those who they feel superior to because of their perceived lame question or lack of skill as a developer.
Of course it is my fault that the thread has gotten this far away from the spirit of why it was started and for that I apologize, but I have multiple VB licenses and a product that is barely suited for use. I think a little tact, courtesy and understanding from the 'staff' is warranted and not too much to expect under these circumstances. For the rest of you, say what you will but remember "sticks and stones love"Comment

The answer is that vBulletin 4.0.4 will be released when we feel it is in a state to do so. Right now it is not in that state. We may have more information tomorrow or it may be next week. Essentially, we will not release until we feel it is ready.Translations provided by Google.
