vBulletin 4 Upgrade?

Just wondering if we have any plans to move to vB4?

Amongst the fact that it looks so much better and cleaner there are so many more new features, especially if you go for the Publishing Suite. (I know its more expensive, but you get blogs, etc included.) You can see the list of new features and stuff here - http://www.vbulletin.com/index.php?do=features

Also their forum uses the default style, to give you an idea how it would/could look on here - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum.php and this forum post might help see if this forum is compatible - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?181384-Before-You-Buy-vBulletin

There is also a FREE (:wink:) 24hr demo here - http://www.vbulletin.com/admindemo.php

I don't know, i just thought I'd bring it up as a question and see what you reckon? I think it would be a vast improvement to the site and make it look so much better. vB 3.8 just looks old to me, especially the standard layout. The colours irritate me, haha. This is an example of the Corsa forum i use, and how my post is layed out/looks. Personally i think it looks so much better and more professional than our current setup - http://www.ukcorsa-d.com/forum/showthread.php?23669-1.2-arctic&p=397908&viewfull=1#post397908

Also on another subject all together, can I ask why we have a logo as the start page to www.Clio197.net? (not the forum, the page you come to before you get to the forum) Could be confusing for people that don't know what to do (ie, press on the image)

Maybe if its something you want, you could keep it but make it automatically redirect to the forums after a certain amount of time?

Can you tell I'm bored at work? :coffee: :thumbsup:

Version 4 is still buggy at the moment, they are always doing improvements to it.

When Saxperiece goes over to V4, then that would be the time for Jase to think about it. Simo knows so much about vBulletin, and until everything is perfect with a piece of software, he won't use it lol!

It boils down to when Jase is ready too, but I think at the moment, as richardandgem has said, it is confusing and still not quite there yet!

vb4 will be something that is done when I feel its the right thing for the site and its glitch free.
