screenshots are really easy to design, i can say... shooting screenshots instead of a semi-working demo is one of bad ideas... i would prefer accessing a semi-working demo with flaws.
if you want, i can build you a complete new software with screenshot mucked-up in less than 24 hours... 200 screenies with that.
[self filtering of a screenshot /]
this is just an example, not an advertisement... i do not consider screenshots seriously, even if the image is really teasing, like the ones Wayne released... great structure, good style for a default, good enhancements as we could say as vB did not have a cms before...
but we need a demo. whining or not.oh no, i'm not going with Xenforo... come on, i'm better than that... i stick with Wordpress... roflComment

I'm not whining at all. I'm plane old pissed. I just purchased the software and asked about when 4.0 was coming out. I feel as though I was lied to. I also do not agree to the new TOS for 4.0 I'm not in Ca nor are my servers. Nor do I even know CA law. So I feel like I have a right to *****. So you worry about you and I will worry about me. Go to Digitalpoint and make those kind of posts where you will earn brownie points. Also you have been a webmaster for a decade congrats. I still remember DOS. That will tell you how long I've been in the game.Last edited by patrick6411; Wed 14 Oct '09, 6:20am.Comment

I have a better way to save money, never upgrade at all, I don't need the pre-release discount.
To the OP, this is the dumbest thread in the world, vB customers are some of the best webmasters on the net, some of the brightest people on the internet.
Get real man, you are way out of touch with reality.
Do you expect these smart people to just sit back and watch vB take them to the cleaners ??Comment

I am to the contrary looking forward to getting vB4 Suite.
Can't stop progress with grandpa's logic. How many Windows 95 users are still around? And how many Windows 7 fans are out there?Comment

I can move to phpBB right now instead of paying my programmer to upgrade vB, so I really don't need this crap man, I want to run forums, not a social networking and a crap blog network.
vB is out of touch with their customer base, most of them are not interested in this software package at all.Comment

Yea I think people got other things like Facebook and Myspace as far as social networking is concerned...Comment

I came here yesterday ready to upgrade and when the arrogance of the current VB attitude sunk in along with the jeopardy I would be placing my site in by going with this, the only logical conclusion I could reach was to just stay with the vBulletin forum software and forget the suite. And if my CMS software doesn't upgrade to compatibility with version 4 then I will just run 3.8.4 indefinitely.
What is totally missing from the VB business plan is any help or accommodation for the many users of vbAdvanced, vbPortal and other CMS products that filled this need for years ... much to the benefit of vBulletin.Comment

+ 1. I'm a license owner for LESS than a year, and will gladly pay the $130 to upgrade to vb4. They have invested thousands of hours into this product, and that's not free. They need to cover their end, even if it means we have to pay a LITTLE more I'm fine with that. If you run a successful forum you shouldn't be paying for the upgrade out of your pocket anyway.
But I certainly understand why people are upset, as they have every right to be.Comment

That is because you are owner for LESS than a year with active licence.
All the others who are here years and spend much more than you will now, are riped of dicsount, while ppl like you will get discount.
Of course they have costs, nobody is demanding free software, only FAIR POLICY!Comment

What if 4.0 (which is only in Alpha, not Beta) doesn't come out until January 2010? What if when it comes out, it is like the blog product. Clunky and backwards? If I could see it, I might even buy it, without a release date. I know it is risky, but I might take that risk. But I won't buy something I can't see, and I don't know when I will receive it. That's like playing the lottery.
It obviously was a profitable model, or IB would not have bought Jelsoft.
Scary that you're a business owner, and don't understand the dynamics of this situation.Last edited by roscoe36; Wed 14 Oct '09, 6:58am.Comment

Get real, man. With major product changes there are costs and risks for end customers. That's expected.Comment
