Re: Mobile forum?

No, I do own the basic vbulletin branded license - it was the right to have continued access to updates that was also offered at a yearly renewal fee. This offered a lower initial purchase price and a reasonably low yearly fee. They changed their business model and did away with that option with v4. The current license price includes unlimited access to updates for the suite you buy, albeit at a higher initial price. You may have chosen a similar kind of license option with v3.

As for development of v5 it is pretty much the same method as with v3 and 4, free beta access to try out and generate test feedback and new customers. It is basically a try and buy scheme.

I was expecting more interest in mobile features, but as it stands it may not e worth it to upgrade the forum. It all depends on other features.
