What about upgrading? - Ultraz - 08.09.2017
Hello everyone here, I'm not making this title for attracting you firstly.
What about upgrading? I mean SA-MP is using vBulletin forums which is highly paid, vBulletin is giving access to all of their customers to upgrade their forums from the Admin CP, vBulletin now have 5.4.12 version, our version is 3.8.6 so if beta testers access Admin CP they can upgrade it
PS: Upgrading won't reset forums database.

Probably because the forums are fine the way they are.

What's wrong with the current version?

vB5 sucks imo
Re: What about upgrading? - Variable™ - 09.09.2017
The current version doesn't have any security vulnerabilities and it is stable, why to risk a new version which may have vulnerabilities, and out of the security part, the current version doesn't have anything less than the newer versions other than several changes which won't make any major effect to the functionality of the forums.

Afaik buying a vbulletin license does not include all future branch updates. Youll have to pay extra to use VB4 or VB5. And why pay to update something that works well enough in its current state?
Re: What about upgrading? - Zeth - 09.09.2017
VB5 Really Sucks because of its bugs and less support.The current forum is way better and there is no need to upgrade as long as it's working fine but a WYSIWYG Editor will be apreciated.

I personally don't care, it already serves its purpose. Updates are always good however, despite issues that may arise (and that's why you need a team to test things from the top to bottom).
Leave this up to the mods, don't bother. Looks like you did put effort in not trying to brag about you possibly having the newest version.
Re: What about upgrading? - Vince - 09.09.2017
The problem with sticking to the old, however, is that you don't know what you're missing. Unless that's your thing.
I actually just noticed that IPS 4.2 automatically embeds a social media widget if you paste a link in the editor which is neat and nifty. Pasting a YouTube link automatically embeds a video player, pasting a ******* link inserts the Tweet into the post, posting a ******** or Reddit link embeds the post into post, and so on and so forth.

Mods should consider upgrading, new version may have some better censorship options

There's a bigger chance to revive negative reputations than a forum upgrade.
I wouldn't bother to do it as well, for what?

If there was a real need for it in these 10 years, it would have already been done, meanwhile the only beauty we get to enjoy is censorship like in China.
Re: What about upgrading? - Kane - 10.09.2017
The only reason I'd like the forums to update is because words don't wrap and I hate seeing long ass lines of words. Isn't really needed though to be honest.
Re: What about upgrading? - dugi - 10.09.2017
The latest VB versions are honestly terrible, we're not going to do any changes related to new forum version any time soon.
