Timan Veteran Posted September 12, 2012 Veteran Share Posted September 12, 2012 Neat that its simple and responsive. But their site is slow as ######. Royalty 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 it pops in then out and in and out... that's annoying as hell!!!!!! and it also looks like one of those forum systems that are embedded in joomla or something....I forget the name.... it's a 90% rip of it and vbulletin should be ashamed of themselves. adding facebook crap and copying another forum system is all they did. Just so they can call it a new version.... wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 12, 2012 Supervisor Share Posted September 12, 2012 ^ yeah it looks a lot like XenForo in places, and it's definitely still very buggy feeling remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTGSteve Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I've been using vBulletin for a VERY long time and I hate to say it, but that looks generic. Either way, we'll have to wait until it's officially released before we can make any judgments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So sad they crushed XenForo to release this crap. They certainly won't finish with their crappy versions scheme, beta 1, beta 1000, "version 1.0.0 beta 1000000000 patch level 20000 almost ready for release TM" remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growled Member Posted September 12, 2012 Member Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, it is just a beta. When they get finished with it, it will probably be awesome. vBulletin usually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varnishen Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Well, it is just a beta. When they get finished with it, it will probably be awesome. vBulletin usually is. They are selling the "beta" and it sucks. I have vBulletin 4 and they did the same thing. They sold a beta but called it gold. It took them years to fix that buggy garbage and then the ditched it right after it reach version 4.2. I felt like I got scammed. Now they are doing the same thing but this product looks even worse than vBulletin 4 did and that is very hard to do. I think anybody buying vBulletin software is a big sucker. They have been scamming their customers for years and this is like a big sign that you want to punish yourself. remixedcat and Brandon H 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted September 13, 2012 Supervisor Share Posted September 13, 2012 ^ vBulletin hasn't been good since the days of 3.x and even that wasn't all that great IMO remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remixedcat Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 VB 3.x is hell to use on a phone with a tiny screen like my Optimus S.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted September 13, 2012 Veteran Share Posted September 13, 2012 If anything, it shows vbulletin is moving in one direction, and ipb in another. VB (currently) looks to be getting rid of bloat (which they had tons of), and ipb seems to be adding more and more bloat (just look at their latest offerings). Should be interesting to see how the final version forms tho. Def not easy to make a responsive forum layout, when you have to worry about so many things.

bawz Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 FWIW. dont go over to vbulletin.com forums an tell them it'll be a Disaster as they'll Ban you for insulting & spamming . they banned me coz i told them the truth which they cant handle. but if vbulletin5 is going in that direction, expect IPB to go the same Route. the same people own IPB that own vbulletin.

remixedcat Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Demz The same people DO NOT own IPB.... IPB Is owned by Invision Power Services in Forest,VA VBulletin is owned by Internet Brands in LA,California... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Urgh, why does a message board need to be so script-heavy? IPB 1.3 is still my fave. Pity its so insecure. myBB is probably the closest you can get to it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted September 13, 2012 Subscriber² Share Posted September 13, 2012 I don't think vBulletin is worth the money any more. I'm not saying you should only use free software, I just don't see it as a worthwhile investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One positive thing is it has made vb4 license cheap as its included along with a vb5 purchase. I cant believe xenforo has gone to the dogs, no releases in ages and they confirmed they wont release until the hearing in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
