Strange things at VB.com

I wonder why I can't view the vid on my iPad?

 

[whynot]

let's wait until vB4 is what we all expected I got the coffee.

Could I borrow a few tons from you?

Man, they really have bad luck. It happened many times now.

There is no such thing as bad luck in software development especially not when it happens multiple times. They either have poor or non-existent QA or a fundamentally flawed development process. In either case, luck doesn't play a significant role.

You don't really think VB was trying to steal a little of IPB's thunder from their roll-out today do you?

If that was their intention, i would suggest submitting it to whatever "epic fail of the day" site you prefer

You mean the way they tried to steal XenForo's thunder by announcing a lawsuit the day before it was released for sale?

naaawwwwwwwwww.....

Yes, of course they are. They keep playing silly tactics like that as though they think it will sway people from buying it. If anything it just makes IB look rather lame by keep doing it, as though they don't have any faith in their own product so revert to using tactics like that now to try and spoil the show for others.

Don't know much about that, probably about as much as vB knows about quality and assurance . Would it be a IPad Flash compatibility problem?

That's what I was thinking.

Poor IPB, a beta release to see if there were any glitches, and along came VB stealing their thunder with software that falls apart within minutes. Another glorious day in the vB world. Maybe a term like "fiasco software" should be coined for IB?

 

[Jethro]

That's what I was thinking.

Shelley pour Trip a few voddies, sure we can convince him it's working fine in a few hours time

Reminds me of the keystone cops.

"fiascoware" LOL hahaha I like that

iPad and iPhone don't support Flash.

Have you been drinking again?

Been reading lots of stuff posted in Twitter about it, sound like the usual Internet Brands vBulletin fiasco going belly up. Funny also how "yet again" they choose to upgrade on the very same day another forum competitor does. Jeez, they do act like they're grasping at straws.

No they aren't "grasping for straws," they are "grasping for new suckers to buy their product."
They already got most of our monies and they want more!
They did not make any money off of my license transfer, but they did however got my money during the pre-sale.
Thinking about it... Internet Brands could of made a boatload of money off of transfering licenses for a small administrative fee of $30+ dollars!
LOL~!!

Dam thanks Shelley not laughed like that in some time :3

also there was 3 pages of problems on this page
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/379107-vBulletin-4.1.4-Beta-1-feedback
now its clean and nothing is there now lol
There was sooo many problems which people was reporting

LMFAO! 2 people "liked" that post.

Thing is though, because they've done this a few times now. They make it look as though they have a release ready but hang fire until the time is right after seeing a competitor upgrade, then do it on that same day. What must their customers think of that? Because it makes it look like IB are not interested in what they want and when, just when it suits them to release it.

I believe IB is holding back a lot of features that was promised for vB5 and some are held futuristically for vB6 to string customers along. Maybe that is why vB4 is so buggy? ... they rip out already implemented features then release the ripped out code with the bug fixes and forget that the ripped out code hinders the current code.

I am only guessing.

Hah hah yes - the best laid plans and all that!

 

[Chris Ticehurst]

vbulletin 4.1.4 is so bad, when I downloaded it from a warze site they paid me $100 to do it.

 

[Markos]

Uh VB Anti-spam system fail.

Its no bad thing for IPB it will probably have boosted their sales again just like every version of 4.0.x did.
