Have you upgraded to vBulletin 3.5?

[RichM]

Hi,

I have a forum with just over 5000 members and 530k posts. I am not sure whether or not to upgrade to vBulletin 3.5 whilst it is in the beta stages. In one way, I feel that I should, as then I'd be able to report bugs as well as take advantage of the new features. But in other ways, I am not too sure, as I feel that it may be insecure.

So, just to get an idea of what everyone else is up to, have you upgraded your LIVE forums to vBulletin 3.5?

I am not gonna upgrade until the code-base is somewhat fixed, eg. Gold released.
My Board is almost hacked to death and I don't want to re-apply every freaking hack every 2 weeks.
The new 3.5 features are really cool and useful, but 3.0.7 is stable and running fine so far, so there is no need for a rush to upgrade

[MrNase]

I totally agree. It's what I wanted to wríte before the editor mutated my post

I thought that with the hook system, re-applying hacks is no longer necessary.

Yes, I've upgraded vBulletin-Fans.com, vBulletin-Style.com, vBulletin-Language.com and vBulletin-Tutorials.com Went very smooth

If you can do them with hooks - yes.
But this isn't always possible. Especially when it comes to modifying queries this is almost impossible so far.

I'm waiting for a stable release, but I may start creating styles soon to prepare for my site's opening.

Ever thought of merging all those boards into one, Floris?

HEHE, wouldn't be a bad idea Floris is trying to talk over the vB World!

I am holding off on upgrading my site until the stable version is released so I dont have to go without my Checkout System / Members Area, but I have started to code every skin for vBulletin 3.5 and not vB 3.0.7.

We're waiting for stable release too.

I've updated to 3.5.0 Beta because I like the new features, I also like to have the latest stuff. Also, since vBulletin is currently running 3.5 beta right now, and it appears it's going well, that helped me make my decision to run it also.

I'm waiting for 3.5.0 gold. I have a lot of custom hacks to convert over, so it's going to take time.
