Hello
I have a VB 4.2.2 CMS site. I have been reading some terrible things about VB5 in the press! None the less I am familiar with vbulletin and very happy with my VB 4.2.2 board. I had zero experience but built quite a professional looking board all on my own which is a credit to the software.
At the moment my only reason to upgrade to VB5 is because it has a responsive design and that I only have experience with vbulletin as an Admin. From what I can see VB5 right now does not have the functionality for my users and is very buggy but I would still like to install it and play with it and then migrate over when the software has matured a little more.
Sorry these are very noob questions.
As I am not a programmer, with VB5 will I be able make it look largely similar to my existing site? http://www.gtarena.com
Thanks in Advance and sorry if this was posted in the wrong place.

Sorry these are very noob questions.
- So first off if I want to run a test site with VB5 how do I do it while still having my VB 4.2.2 site live?
- If I buy a VB5 licence to test which do I buy, the upgrade or the full licence?
- Based upon the above, if I have a test site running in the background for several months how do I then upgrade my VB4.2.2 site once I am happy to do so?
- Is it possible to edit the stylevars in the same way as VB4?
- Are usergroups joinable like in VB4
- Can I apply different themes to different forums
- Do user ranks work in the same way
- My site uses multiple themes for different forums, these themes were largely built using the editable stylevar variables, will my themes be carried over to VB5 if I upgrade. (obviously minus any mods)
