Why the old version of vBulletin?

[syscal]

Curious.

[killramos]

Because for every version they skip Rage2 gets a new black series

Not like I'm privy to details, but I imagine switching would cause weeks/months of headaches. This one works fairly hassle free I think.

[D'z Nutz]

Yeah, we should upgrade. Clearly the search feature doesn't work anymore.

[syscal]

So, since this is the suggestion/comment box/forum related stuff part of the forum.

When is a mobile friendly version of Beyond coming?

[D'z Nutz]

After we get the search function figured out.

Can confirm: merge works.

The new vbulletin is so much nicer, being able to tag users, be notified of when you are quoted even if you unsubscribe to threads, and such.

The only forum I know with an older version is 780 and its ... well its 780.

I know for a fact those guys wear sweatpants when posting.

Definitely time to upgrade - features such as: reading the first line of a thread with a quick mouse-over, are sorely missed.

The forum I help out with uses 4.2.2. It runs great and there are indeed some nice features. Mention, quote, thank/like notifications being my favorite.

As stated in an older thread, the upgrade does require a lot of work especially with custom coding. I think this forum runs good enough, a upgrade would be nice but it all comes down to the owner/staff's time and desire to upgrade.

Any idea how much it costs to license the latest version? Maybe that's the blocker. If so, i'd happily donate some cash if it means we can get the new features... some of these features sound pretty interesting and useful

^ my recollection is that their SQL migration would be the biggest headache.

$399 for the one with a mobile theme

I would definitely donate too. Maybe get a perk of a custom user title or just show up as a member who donated

The forum I help with has a supporting members feature. Chip in some money for a yearly subscription of "supporting member features" and a sticker.

Currently our features are:
1. Larger avatar
2 supporting member badge
3. Access to a backroom subsection
4. Increase of PM storage
5. Ad removal


We are currently looking at adding some major additional features and new swag. The possibilities are endless and it's a good way to generate extra money.


I'd definitely be willing to chip in money.
I suspect the time of upgrading is the issue rather than money though.

Well played

One of the things I really like about Beyond is the "simplicity" of it. I find a lot of the newer forum softwares to be too flashy and bloated.

[J.M.]

Does anyone else get the stupid ads at the bottom of the screen while surfing beyond on their iPhones?

Pretty sure that, before vehicle allowance, this forum turns a profit. Could be wrong though.

^No, I still get the misplaced usernames and avatars that have no place in the thread I'm viewng though.
