The bright side for the vB Team...

[Floris]

What a cool thing to announce a feature that vb3 already had 8 months ago - one of the reasons I couldn't upgrade to vb4 because my users would have killed me.

It's the cut&paste for iPhone .. re-inventing the wheel.
However, I am sure when Kier/Mike consider custom profiles (which I hope they do), it will be really done like the iPhone; Done right.

lol now they're announcing 3.8.7...wasn't 3.8.6 supposed to be the last?

So much for EOL?

yup...XenForo's really got them workin' hard (this is, by no means, saying that the current vB dev team doesn't work hard).

There's a difference between working hard and working well.

Some say people should Work smart not hard.

I believe people should Work Smart AND Hard.

That's true...but I'm not convinced that it's the developers that are the problem.

 

[Floris]

That's called grasping straws.

Eh, I believe if you work smart, working hard is easy thereby making it seem effortless.

Is this thread really serving a great benefit here? I'm all for constructive discussion and mentioning things you dislike (in comparison with another option), but taking pot shots isn't cool.

I did not intend for it to take pot shots, just a light jab. Which is why I said what I did, here: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/the-bright-side-for-the-vb-team.269/page-2#post-3270

Each time I see this thread title show up in the new posts search results, I keep hearing "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life!"

For me, it's a sales point. Another prime example of why I am going to spend my money on this product, where you get the true feeling of honesty, vs false promises and constantly changing situations of other software packages.

I've never been one to feel like there is gain in putting others down. I prefer to take the high road...just me.

 

[Brandon_R]

In running a company taking the high road is also called being Professional and is not an option if you want to gain respect

 

[Peggy]

Perhaps it would be best to close this thread? The OP got his point across nicely. Enough said there.

Well, at least they are correcting the problem.

They aren't it's just as bad. The HMRC have explicitly said NOT to collect VAT.
