^ If you are not experienced then even vB3.8 will cause you a problem
You'll get used to it very soon. I can handle vB4 also well

used vb from 3.7.1 till 3.8.0 alpha then i moved onto ipb tried vb4 hated it more then phpbb in my eyes vb 4 is just a rip off ipb 3 it was a major let down for me and unless someone makes it more like vb 3 or ipb 3 i don't plan on ever using it i wont even open sites with it on its just ugly

Thanks and keep the replies coming.

As some of you pointed out one of the reasons it failed on launch was the amount of bugs, most of which are now fixed. Their were over 300 bug fixes from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 and a few hundred more in the previous updates. To be honest that's far too many bugs in a release. Probably needed another RC version to give it more street credit.

esotorisk is right by the way. It uses a lot lot more server resources. I know this from experience with helping CyberWarez to upgrade. The search uses way too much server resources and had to make serious modifications to it.

Their are a lot of mods for it but obviously not near as many as 3.x has due to the length it's out. This is where my problem lies. It's people like me that's need to code mods to help people move to VB 4 but the demand is still with VB 3. It makes deciding on which to code for difficult. It takes time to code for both as their very different.
