We just completed a very successful upgrade on Zelda Universe to vBulletin’s latest version 3.5.3. We previously were using version 3.0.7. I am pleased with how seamless it went as we only had 2 or 3 major hacks to content with bringing over to the new version. This is definitely a step in the right direction for vBulletin as the “inline moderation” abilities are very useful and actually quite staff friendly. If my staffers are happy, then I am happy!
I will soon embark on moving Cruise Line Forums to the latest version of vBulletin, but this move will likely prove to be quite a bit more difficult. We have a very unique skin as well as several hacks that will make things tough. Time will tell…
Good Luck with the move. Hopefully it will go well
I am dying to upgrade my main site to 3.5, the plug in architecture really helps but recoding custom scripts can be time consuming. Good luck!
