Disgusted at VB4.

[Shieldsz]

This is extremely bad, I agree, vB managers jumped the gun on this entire situation and customers are pissed off, threads were deleted on this forum tonight because the feedback was so bad, I think unexpected by vB management.

I do think vB needs to make some changes fast, maybe scrap the entire release and promotion at this point and start all over.

I agree, honestly I think the entire team needs to re-think this over.. make some significant changes, then.. re-release the pre-order WITH a demo.

I answered your post. Here (Above)

Does your order screen not do the same thing??

If you weren't a sarcastic ass in the majority of your posts, I'd actually find you helpful and a good poster. Chill out, people will be repetitive, etc.. get over it.

Did you read the posts above? We already have covered this.

Read, then reply.

Nope because it was still only one page when I did read this thread and started replying. Thank you.

Can someone from vbulletin please respond?

I thought the increased font size might help them identify a query.

Perhaps they're all too busy counting their money to give a **** about customers?

Can someone tell me why my upgrade is listed at $250 after I've logged in?

Where's the $130 option?

Hello?

I'm pretty sure if you have an inactive/expired owned license, you won't be able to do that. You have to pay for the regular 4.0 forum $195 which is the new license (even though technically you have an owned license) and for the 4.0 Publishing Suite its $235 which is also a new license. If you don't get a new license before the pre sale ends (oct 30th we read) then it will be $285 for the new license for the 4.0 publishing suite.

Well, this looks correct.. I have an owned Licensed and have since the beginning of VB's existence....

My annual support expired a couple months ago (in the past there is no big rush to renew before the expire date). I own Blog and Projects and when I just checked in my Account, they want $250 for an upgrade from me (of course you can just buy a full one for $235).

Needless to say, I am very upset at this....

I'm still running 3.7.5, there is no option to add support to even get the security updates for 3.7 or go to 3.8.

That is how I read it. 4.0 Forums is a free upgrade for current license holders.

Where's the link to download vBulletin 4.0?

version 4 is currently under private testing, and not publicly available yet, I am unaware of a gold-release date.

I've logged in and am getting an upgrade price of $250 which is odd because you can buy a new license for $235.

What is going on?

Not sure... but when I go to the upgrade screen, it tells me $250 with a $120 discount, for a total price of $130. I guess it's just set that way to get the calculation correctly set for upgrade special.

(I'm upgrading just standard forums [no addons] to the publishing suite.)

I'm actually going to take back what I said before... arms are being twisted. If you don't take the gamble, you'll end up paying the full price after two weeks.

Basically either hope that vb4 is worth it, or end up paying nearly double.

Hence.. optional gamble. You don't have to, therefore arms are not being twisted. -- We're going to do the upgrade, but I'm sure it will be a long time for us to actually use the version. It will take a long time for us to integrate/convert our old stuff to the new stuff. [I sincerely doubt VB4 will be trash]

Nobody's arm is being twisted. It's an optional gamble... Don't spend the cash if you don't have it.

I have an active license until next year October. And it says $235 thought i there was a discount.

As a preferred customer with an active license, we are excited to offer the vBulletin Publishing Suite at a pre-sale discount price of only $130 (over 50% off regular price). This is a truly limited one-time special offer giving you $120 off the upgrade price but will expire on Friday October 30, 2009.

It's not out yet, it's only pre-order. No demo, or anything to show what vB4 does.. it's a gamble.
