Hi all,
I'm currently working with a new IT guy about performing a major upgrade from the old version of vBulletin 4.2.5 to 6.0.7
While we are at the initial stages it should happen quickly enough.
Like any major changes there are things we will lose and but more importantly gain.
For example we will lose things like 'Likes' and 'Thanks' options which will be replaced with Reactions.
There are a few other features and add-ons we will lose as well.
The upside is that it will address the interface issue with iPhones and we shouldn't see all the ? and funny characters when content is copied over from media sites.
I've had a test of the latest vBulletin version and it appears to be better for loading pictures and video's into posts and it should be vastly better visually for members who only use mobile phones. That has been the main driver of the upgrade.
It should also be better at stopping those pesky bots for trying to join the site but that's normally just my problem.
In any system upgrade there are things that are gained and some features we will lose. Please be prepared to embrace some changes and probably a slightly annoying adjustment period.
Now that the draft is completed we typically go through a quieter period anyway except for those annoying Doggy-Bag Takeaway Training reports.
Fingers crossed and positive thoughts please
