vBulletin 5 Gold

[mickreid]

I currently have VB4 with CMS, blogs etc - I'd like to keep existing functionality in VB5 and I know that it will be released when Gold is finished.

If I purchase an Upgrade License for VB5 now will it include this suite functionality when the extra functionality is released, or will I have to pay more money?

5.0.0 will not have the CMS in it, however the CMS will be added to a later version at no extra cost.
Blogs and Groups are included in 5.0.0 however.

site builder in vb5 is the powerful tool to build your own custom page, I think it have the same function as CMS in vb4.
am I right?

No, not at this stage, although there are one or two similarities.

There is no CMS functionality in vB5 at this stage.

No, you will not need to pay more money, a vB5 licence will cover you for all 5.x.x releases

I learned my lesson with vB4 and will be waiting until after vBulletin 5 "gold" is released before I start working on compatible vBadvanced versions. So much changed with vB4 during it's betas and I had to keep re-writing things and fixing things multiple times. With 25 beta versions now, I can only imagine what a nightmare vB5 would have been.
