    My brother (who looks uncannily like DP's Shawn and is named Sean!) likes the older version due to changes to the way skins work.

    Have you found the same to be true? Should I buy an older version, if possible?

    Doesn't matter what version you want, it's all purchased under the same license. You can't buy 3.x as a standalone any longer. You CAN buy 4.x and get access to old versions (including 3.8.x).

    3.8 is better than 4.0 imo. If you want the added features just go for IPB.

    I haven''t used vB 3.8x much except to test it a few times and I don''t see it how it is better than vb 4.0x. vB 4.0x is muchh better coding and feature wise in my opinion.

    Well I also preffer vB4 for many reasons, but the main issue with vB4 is the premature release that IB did, with a ton of bugs to fix before release it.
