any luck to get reply on my private msg ?...

It really wouldn't be that much work to migrate vb.org to vBulletin 5 (or 4). Our 3.x to 4.x migration ended up taking me about 3 months of "spare time" to rewrite everything for vB4. And...

He uses the one I made, and yes... it works with 4.2.2.

As far as I know, the "official" one from IB hasn't been updated in years and requires an ancient version of Sphinx still...

The site you are in is decently large. Also, the same discussion is already here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...ge-forums-runn...

[digitalpoint]

One thing I noticed is that a pretty high percent of sites that had vB5 installed at one point no longer do. Anything with a date before September 3, didn't have vB5 on it (all sites have been visited...

Hopefully whoever they are, it's 4 amazing developers that are given the freedom to actually develop properly. And not 4 developers under the guidance of non-developers (management) that had anything...

[digitalpoint]

I don' think that is planned for a future version. I recall reading somewhere that the new URL structure is what it is, and there are no plans to go back to the old.

[digitalpoint]

You would get some developers at least... For example, I would at least look into porting some of my vB4 addons to vB5. But not worth it for me to pay for a license that I wouldn't use in order to make...

[digitalpoint]

I know this sounds totally obnoxious, but not sure how else to put it... The smart/technical people (programmers) are going to tend to not buy vB5... So they *can't* make addons. If vBulletin was smart,...

[digitalpoint]

It's an unfortunate situation that vBulletin has gotten itself in to. Even if every developer and staff member agreed, they can never *really* agree, take that proposal to management and expect to keep...

[digitalpoint]

Anyone noticing a trend? Sites install vBulletin 5, and before too long, a large percent soon no longer have vBulletin installed? I came back to this thread because I wanted to check out sukagwe.co...

[digitalpoint]

For sites running vB5 (or it's framework) on the root of their domain, yes... It doesn't include sites that run it in a sub-directory (unless the root redirects there).

The only one I've seen anywhere remotely close to 1M would be this site.

I haven't looked extensively through this list, but after spidering the top 5,000,000 or so websites, these are the...

[digitalpoint]

There's definitely a few, just not many... here's some that my search engine spider have found:

mysql> SELECT domain, value AS version, DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(date), '%M %e, %Y') AS

The 5.0.3 changes to thread navigation does look like it fixes the issue of Googlebot not being able to find beyond page 2.

In fact, just as a test, you can see posts from page 2 of this...

[digitalpoint]

Long story short is that unless someone posts a link to a page (or like Joe D pointed out) Google finds a link in an indirect way, it will not spider anything past page 1... This includes both posts in...

[digitalpoint]

Actually, that's not true. Try searching for a unique string in any thread on page 2 or after in a post that was created after vBulletin 5 went live. For example, the sticky thread titled "mysqlmymonlite.sh...

[digitalpoint]

No disrespect to Zoltan, because I know he's one of the better devs around here, but if this is what his 2+ years of reworking vBulletin 4 search yielded... Well... lol. I mean vB3 search was fine...

[digitalpoint]

There are no paid subscriptions in vBulletin 5, so I suspect it will be a problem.

[digitalpoint]

I don't know about you, but "often failing" is not the same as working.

Someone give me a license to vB5 so I can make a search that works. haha...
