Now that vBulletin 3.8 has been released we intend to archive the vb 3.0 forums in the next few weeks - in the same manner that the vb 2.x forums were archived last year.

Once archived, the forums will become read only and no downloads will be possible - so if for some reason you still need copies of 3.0 modifications then you will need to download them in the next few weeks.

At this moment in time we are not planning to archive the 3.5 forums, but once vb 4.0 is released we will revisit that decision.

Does that mean you are going to be removing the 3.7 mods too??

i dun think so because some of them is still running on 3.7

if they want to remove they will remove the older version of the vbulletin like 3.0 or x

but not 3.6 3.7 and 3.8

Thanks for the warning

3.0 does not use products .. all other versions after that use products .. so i think they not gonna remove mods after 3.0

excited abt 4.0

thanks for the update!

Wow, that's shocking news!

Especially the 3.5 to 3.6.x addons are a never ending source of inspiration to me. It seems to me that around the time 3.5 evolved some very creative minds joined forces to produce some high quality bits and bytes for the community. Many of them left or do not have the time to continue their great work but nevertheless keep their quality work a little longer.

Nothing is going to happen to the 3.5 modifications at this time.

No.

As the thread states, this refers to 3.0 (only).

Nothing is happening to the 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8 sections

why no downloads possible??? whats the main reason?

[Wayne Luke]

I would suspect that having downloads for mods on a version that isn't supported or used anymore would cause more problems than it is worth.

I don't really see why you have to block off access to downloads of these older modifications. Sometimes you need access to old code to properly path upgrades to newer products in forums that were badly managed or poorly maintained in the past. I would have thought closing the forums to new replies and making it clear they are read only, unsupported threads would have been enough.

But this site has a whole history of yanking code and making life difficult for some of us. So I'm not surprised.

Thank your luck stars you have been alerted of the changes. Normally the forum would have been archived without warning. The announcements is atleast a set forward and gives people the chance to download now what they need rather than wondering what happened to the forums and unable to download anything resulting in questions being asked in the feedback area.
