You'll all like this a lot.
vBulletin is going from version 3.8.4 to 4.0 soon. In fact, screen prints are now available at this site. Not sure when they'll stop supporting 3.8.4 but they are going to be aggressively trying to get us to move to 4.0.
I won't be moving to 4.0 for a while, but we have some things we need to decide when we do.
First, there are two levels of vBulletin 4.0 - forum and suite. Forum is just that - a forum. Nothing else. The suite includes the blog, a front page and an article manager. The forum upgrade is free and the suite upgrade is $130 for a limited time. That doesn't mean we have to change, but depending on what we decide we'll grab the discounted upgrade. (After discount time forum upgrade is $195 and suite is $235.)
What's going to drive which we get are such determinations as the work Ame has put into site redesign, whether we want to keep the blogs and if the CMS front page is something we want instead of making our own.
Stay tuned for more information on this, but when I got this information yesterday in the midst of all the shitstorm I was going through I was ready to cry. Now, though, I'm feeling better about it.
