vBulletin.com upgrade to 4.0

[Don Maddox]

One frequent complaint often heard on these forums is that the devs need to do a better job of keeping the community informed of upcoming changes so that those of us who depend on vBulletin can plan accordingly. Well I for one would like to applaud the devs for the decision to upgrade vBulletin.com to 4.0 at this early stage.

Though there will likely be some rough spots here and there, this still seems like a sound decision. The upgrade will allow all of us to see first-hand where development stands and provide more timely feedback.

Hang in there, devs, because the community is likely to be vocal about what it likes and what it doesn't like. That's to be expected as vB is important software.

Good job, guys, and thanks for bringing this out early so we see it in action!

If you thought the forums were full of complaining and whining before... heh Anyway, yeah it's a good thing and hopefully people take it for what it's worth and use the time from now until release to give constructive feedback and help shape things into what they need, instead of just complaining.

I just wish I would of gotten into the beta, damn I wanna mess around with the software! heh

Agreed!

It will be an early beta. Expect multiple beta updates then multiple release candidate updates before seeing the stable / gold version released.

so i guess we will wait for the gold release after two months

Finally we will get to play with the user interface of 4.0, which for me is much more important as this is what my community members will be using. Hopefully the new design would be better than the current and faster loading as well.

LOL well there will be no complaints from me, once the upgrade takes place I'm outta here.
