I think the new 4 series are great except of some tiny problems which can be fixed pretty easily, But overall its very nice! and i like the new blog system they've come up with.

It is definitely going to be a slower path than usual to recovery this time around, with the ver. 4.0 release. So many bugs and such holes in the usability. The vbulletin.org is working double overtime just to patch those usability holes.

I've always loved vbulletin; still do. I still believe that it offers unparalleled admin options. Those seem to have come at a cost this time, though, and this has, for the first time in almost a decade, sent me to seriously start exploring other board software options. I'm testing IPB currently. It is a bit of a wake up call, coming from the vast vB admin CP cockpit. We'll se how it goes...

Thanks for your comment AWS
I can only hope for the best, I know it will take time but I think iNet will produce a quality product again.

Good writeup. There are several things wrong with this release. 9 years using vbulletin and this is the first time I have ever seen utter garbage released. When I was testing vbulletin 3 as part of the private tester pool even the first betas were stable enough to run on live sites. I know I ran the first beta on a million post forum. I bought one suite license for vb4 just to make sure that my suspicions on the quality were correct. They were and in spades.

vb4 at best is beta quality. In all fairness the forum only isn't all bad although highly touted features do not work correctly.
