Core Modifications Depending on your configuration, may there are some changes that you need to do in core files.

Good or Bad, this is what I was able to do in profile page, spending my whole day. Just header and sidebar. Main section tomorrow.

Don't remember if vB4 supports user status message, but I added a simple one. Easy to add/update it in user panel, and appears to Modal Profile. I'll also add it to profile page.

And the next is definitely the best Thank you so much

Now, I really need your help for testing purposes. It was so frustrated, when I realized yesterday that, after spending a full day working on Calendar, Albums, and Groups, I've forgot to change the links to member profile, to open the modal window, instead to redirect to full profile page.
That's why I'm kindling asking you to register in my site and try as most as you can the sections. What I want you to test are:
Please note that currently I've install the Forum only version, so you'll not see any CMS or Blog page. https://www.projectvb4.com/ Thank you Chris No members have liked this post.

This looks like a great project you have going. Really looking forward to seeing it be developed.
I've always liked VB4, so it's nice to see that VB4 might get a new life with a new look. No members have liked this post.

Should have a new life, I'm sure for it. Especially if IB gives me the permission to modify core files to keep PHP compatibility. Actually I'm thinking to give them the full project to include it as default theme (with all extra features), if they accept to put it back to life.

I run a vB4 forum at the moment with a whole bunch of code changes and updated features and I wouldn't dream of handing the source over to IB.

Wouldn't be possible without breaching several laws, unfortunately. I'd write a guide but there was more extensive things I added like using filp/whoops for error pages instead of the built-in vB error handler, and it would take forever to filter things like that out.

New licenses can't even download vBulletin 4.x
So, you're either doing all this for existing customers who refuse to move on ... or you're wasting your time. No members have liked this post.

This is an advantage, not disadvantage. No updates means no extra work to adjust my code with any new release.

In fairness, I think people are more likely to want to stick with vB4 than upgrade and move over to the absolute mess that is vB5.

vB5 is not "a mess" but you would have to be using it to know that.
