Which one you prefer, VBulletin 4.x or 3.8.x ?

I am going to launch a new forum, bought a Vbulletin and now bit confused which version to use.

Hey DPers, give me your opinion. should i use 3.8.x or the new 4.x ?

Thank you

 

I like 3.8 since everything works
4.x is up to 4.0.2 and still tons of bugs and some parts that work in 3.8, are broken in 4.x

 

I suggest you go with 3.8.x until the 4X series gets the bugs worked out. I run 3 vbulletin forums, none of them are getting 4X installed on them for another 3 or 4 months - or until a lot of the major problems are fixed.

 

thank you very much for your suggestions...I am starting with 3.8.4.

 

The new 4.x looks pretty good, but the bugs are a pain ... I'd stick with 3.8.x for now

 

I heard that the vbulletin 4.x is very very buggy, so i guess alot of people will be using the 3.8 until they sort the 4.x out.

 

I prefer vBulletin 3.8.x as I am used to the style and vB still has loopholes.

 

i like vb 4, though it is buggy but really awesome.. and 4.0.2 is gr8

 

Why of course vb 3.8.x when im at 4.0.2 but i kinda like 4.....D:

 

I am still awaiting stable VB 4 and advanced VBCMS compatibilty here - nice look in VB 4 admin though S (PB) the new advertising feature was the only major change I noticed thus far!

I am assuming that is not the full publisher suite admin though - am I correct?

 

I'm with version 3.8 on my Health Forums as I believe it's more stable than the new vBulletin 4.0.

 

Good info here. Thanks to all who responded. DP advice is priceless!

 

I love 3.8 and i don't want to chance upgrading. the problem is once you upgrade, you cannot downgrade.

 

I like 3.8 since everything works

 

I like 4.x - It's layout is much better IMO.

 

If its a new forum then your better off going with 4.0 series. I myself am sticking with 3.8 since I know for sure it works great.

 

I regret upgrading to vB4 at the moment because there are endless bugs and missing features. I'd suggest that you wait till at least 4.1 before upgrading over to 4x.

 

vB4, at least that you are a Coder and knows how vB Works

If not vB3 will be the best choice.

 

I'm using 3.8, it's the best of vB so far, can't afford vB 4 yet

 

4.0 is junk, I don't like what IB has done with it. Stick with 3.8 for as long as its supported.
