Yep. Plus familiar faces left; new people joined; lawsuits launched (and later settled) against ex-staff and addon developers; vb4 and vb5 launched. And Digital Point finally moved off vBulletin after...

[tickedon]

I think the biggest problem is that many of us lived through vB4. It took two years to get to a state where people were generally happy with it. I see that you've only been here for less than a month,...

[tickedon]

The problem is, the beta isn't even offering "basic" features like the CMS from v4. They have decided to rush out vB5 'Connect' early, missing a large number of fairly major features.

I'm confused. I can't reconcile your most recent post, above, with an earlier one, below:

[tickedon]

For new customers, I imagine you could give details of queries based on the default configuration of vB5?...

[tickedon]

There are substantive changes. Staff here however seem to be under instructions to "gloss over" the changes rather than bring them to the attention of customers, so you'll have to refer to other...

I would imagine the reason for no answer is that it doesn't meet any part of the WCAG requirements....

[tickedon]

That is how they do things here. No votes = management treat it as not important. Some votes = vague chance they might actually fix it....

Has there been any consideration of the issues disabled users might encounter, who often have to use out-of-date applications and screen readers in order to navigate? I'd hope that vBulletin hasn't lost...

On receiving the email announcement, at first I thought "Great, they'd showed off some cool vBulletin 5 features, and $249 seems reasonable.". Of course they forgot to mention the $199 for support...

[tickedon]

Amazing what a bit of honesty and communication with customers can do......

[tickedon]

I saw that announcement first, then I came here and saw this - and yep, the other announcement came out AFTER. I have a suspicion one may have led to the other ...

The last figure released by Internet Brands in their SEC filings indicate vB has 100,000 customers.

vB certainly doesn't have all 3 million forum owners using vB ...

Jelsoft certainly can't, given they no longer own the rights to vBulletin.

No-one to guarantee a v5 release date, but we can go based on the information we've been given by vB staff. It's...

Ignore the expire dates. They will be removed, they haven't yet updated the members are to reflect the end of the yearly support renewals etc......

Ray said previously in June 2009 they wanted to be knocking on the door of vB5 in 18 months. The link to the post is in the FAQ linked in my signature.

I would not expect another 3-4 year...

It has been confirmed in other places that the hooks etc.. have been changed and moved, requiring most addons and hacks to be updated.

vBulletin are discontinuing Project Tools and are going...

Ticket responses are taking days for many people, not hours.

Afraid you'll likely just need to be patient....

The details were all taken from the SEC filings made by Invision Board.

20,000 new licenses were sold in 2008.
