vb5 beta released, and...

[ManagerJosh]

maybe Beta 11 crashed the home server?

 

[Adam Howard]

LOL

Their server has crashed more times then every more than I can recall... Ever since they've started to play around with vBulletin 5

 

[Sadik B]

Wanted to check out the announcement but...

 

[Sadik B]

lol... got ninja'd

Not sure what's causing vbulletin.com to be down so often recently. But if it's VB5 and this is what it's doing to their, what I suppose will be, a very powerful server... I can't imagine what will happen to the poor souls who want to install vb5 on a shared host... or even a modest VPS!

not realizing that it shows them having been so bad as to release a version with 100+ bugs in it,

It's actually a very good release with only hundred(s) of bugs instead of thousands as in VB4.

If by, "only hundreds" you mean, "also thousands of bugs like vB4", you would be correct.

 

[jadmperry]

OMG... I am torn as to whether to say this bug count is believable or unbelievable. It is believable given the track record of vB over the past few years. It is unbelievable that this is their flagship product, the supposed leading edge in forum software.

I don't see how it will be possible for them to fix the issues given what I have read about the underlying code (I am no coder, but I do understand that the entire code is fraught with poorly written instructions, does not use accepted practices, and is, well, inartful). The biggest thing that jumps out at me is that in its current incarnation, hundreds of db queries speaks to a fundamentally flawed code.

If I may Ask DP. What are your plans for your site. Are you sticking with vb4 (continuing developing on that)? Waiting for vb5? still looking at xenforo as an alternative? are you still developing your add-ons for xf for your dev site? Is IPB an option for you? Quite interested to know what your looking at with regards to software.

 

[Craigr]

Heard a rumour if XenForo lose the lawsuit we all have to transfer to vb5.

Even it is not nice as a joke imo

Nothing is set in stone until the day we roll out changes publicly (mainly I hate being asked, "is it ready yet?"). I do not see a viable future for my site with vB5... So you can nix that idea right away.

On a side note, I don't write tons of code for no reason.

Thanks for the response. Yeah it wasn't a case "is it ready yet" I wanted to hear your stance on the direction you were personally going, the direction your site is heading and you prity much answered it.

Without getting into the whole vb5 thing - that was never an option for me, nor was any other software xf is prity much the end of the line for me personally with forum software it's XF or nothing.

One would have thought vB4 would have shown them that...

 

[Caliburn]

I don't understand how we can all sit here and slam the vB5 beta so religiously. It obviously has some major flaws at the moment but is making progress. I've been watching it carefully. Remember that it's BETA at the moment and has gremlins.

It's a complete rewrite so let's just see where it goes. It may just surprise us.

I agree, but hey they aren't like normal people who learn from their mistakes but I tell you it's fun to watch isn't it LOL
