Are there any active sites running VB5?

What Rudedog said, if the forum here doesn't work properly, then can you really rely on it on your own site?
Do your home work.

Only real thing you can do to recover, is just dump VB5 and go with something that actually works.

Basically, google reviews of VBulletin 5 before you decide to buy

But IB is no "ordinary" business.

The speed issue has been present, from memory, ever since the VB5 test site was opened, which was months ago

To be honest, support...

Sounds like someone is turning into a fanbois, are you after a job at IB? :P

[Deimos]

I forget just how far back the speed issues became, well, a major issue

6 months? 8?

I first noticed it when the VB5 demo was brought online, it was presumed it was due to a...

Apparently I have a visitor message, damned if I can see/find it.

VB4 took 2ish years to get to 4.2 at which point I think most people...

I think it's safe to say, a lot of us wouldn't visit or register on any site where you were in a position of power.
So no worries

[Deimos]

Ah so only one site

But, funny how that site is much faster than the Vbulletin one

It'd be interesting to hear from the linus tech staff how the "up"grade has affected...

I'm curious to see how they perform/look....

This is the only site where my mouse wheel seems to be ineffective
But half the time the whole page seems to freeze, the interface itself seems to die, only a refresh seems to "fix" that....

Feels like more was taken away, than anything.
And yea, it's very bland and boring looking, a bit like Lithium.
I can understand the need to start from scratch when code reaches a certain...

If you say so.
