vBulletin 5

Don't know if it will interest anyone here, but vBulletin recently unveiled a preview of the 5th version of their software via facebook.

Seems a little early to be showing off the new software, given that vB4 hasn't been going for very long at all. But having said that, vB5 does look nice though.

What version is used on here? 0.0.0.0.1 alpha? I much prefer the look of this to any of the newer flavours, much more simplistic.

I believe that the version used on these forums is VBulletin 1, but i dont feel that OC should update because there is nothing wrong with the current layout in my opinion, and it is what people are used to.

It's vBulletin 3.7.3 here - I personally prefer vB3, I think it was the best version as a forum - another forum I'm on has upgraded from vB3 to vB4 and it's not as nice to use IMO.

I think vB4 is a lot nicer than vB3, it feels a lot more fresh and smooth.

I agree. The early versions of 4 were broken, but now that it has matured 4.2 is very nice.

5 is looking a lot more like invision in terms of aesthetics. My biggest concern is it looks like the ACP is a total rewrite, which will mean having to learn it all over again.

A lot of work appears to have gone into VB5.
