Wow, I clicked post and it took a couple of minutes viewing the pretty Working notice. Seriously, two minutes to make one post?

[dilbert]

I am a former long time customer. It's very clear that this software has been permanently destroyed. The few posts I've made since the "upgrade" have always been a pain and buggy, I can't...

[dilbert]

Same here. Much happier, significantly better software, they are very open about where the next version is going.

[dilbert]

Count me in for a big NO vote, unless the upgrade is to different software.

[dilbert]

You might want to look around a little more. Search other sites, or just Google them....

[dilbert]

I doubt you'll find an unbiased list anywhere.
Just read these forums and hear all the people who complain about vB, then go over to IPB.
People there are a lot friendlier, and they have roadmaps...

[dilbert]

I think it's deceiving to not make the vb5 forum public, at least for viewing. I suspect no one would purchase if they could see the customer forums.

[dilbert]

I'd read some of the posts regarding migrating to 5.x before you do so.

This morning I visited for the first time since last week. I had 6 pages of new posts. It took several minutes to load. Each time I clicked the next page button (after I scrolled to the top to find...

[dilbert]

Currently?...

[dilbert]

Yup, got that same error a couple of weeks ago. Didn't visit the site for over a week, therefore I suspect it was pulling back many records and it kept erroring out. I gave up and left (like I do most...

You're an admin here. Create a new user, visit the site today with that user account.
Don't visit the site for 1 week with that account.
Now visit the New Posts page and see if loads. For...

I hadn't visited in over a week. The new topics page timed out and showed only errors. I tried several times and finally gave up.

[dilbert]

Wow, I just visited your forum, you mentioned it's running on a shared server. That was very painful. Click and wwwaaaaaiiiiittttttttt. I gave up and left.

Sorry for your pain....

[dilbert]

Upgrade to vB5, go ahead, I dare yeah.

[dilbert]

They seem to like it just fine, but it strangely looks a lot like IPB.

[dilbert]

vB5 allows me to multi-task. I click on a link to view a post, then I go do something else, like have lunch, finish the laundry. When I come back the page has finished loading. Then I click another...

[dilbert]

I went the other way. Long time vB user, gave up waiting for it to be finished. There are way too many standard items missing or broken.

[dilbert]

OK, in my comment above (or below, no idea where they end up) "I hate this commenting of a comment idea." I was referring to a comment someone else made. That comment has since disappeared....

[dilbert]

I hate this commenting of a comment idea.



I have found it unusable since it was released. It was released unfinished with the caveat "if you need the missing features,...
