yaeh, i agree with you, i will be interested by a version 3.8.12.

[Dave]

There will be no new versions of vBulletin 3 and 4 as stated before. Paul was just talking about making his own private version that he will call 3.8.12.

already he created 3.8.11, so will create 3.8.12 perfectly i think.

[Dave]

I think you are misunderstanding me, he longer works at Internet Brands (vBulletin). He's not allowed to release a new version.

He can freely modify it for his own forum, but him releasing it for everyone else to use would be illegal as it goes against vBulletin's license agreement and terms & conditions.

Just in case it wasn’t clear in my earlier post and the linked announcements:
There will be no new versions of vB3 or vB4.

As I said, there will not be ANY further full releases of vB3 or vB4, this includes php compatibility releases.

vBulletin 3 is now over fourteen years old. It's not possible to continue to develop software that old indefinitely.

This is old news, all work on vB3 and vB4 stopped when I left.

I have my own working versions (3.8.12 & 4.2.6) that support PHP 7.2.
They are untested, other than my own private testing, but should work fine.

As noted, these are not "official" as I no longer work at IB, and could not be released publicly (unless by some miracle they decided to allow it).

As always, sites can be worked on and updated privately, and I may at some point offer a private upgrade service.

I'm interested with custom 3.8.12

[CAG CheechDogg]

I know I am going to get some backlash with what I am about to say but I really don't care ...

Versions 3 and 4 still work and honestly what else can you possibly need to make them better? No one will ever be satisfied with anything as long as people keep offering new versions and that's not in forum and cms software but in everything that can be sold to any customer base...

If someone has an idea for something to add to their forums they can simply hire someone who is willing to develop whatever they might need, I have had several addons, plugins and what not made just for me by a handful of people and "I" am quite happy and satisfied with what I have on my forums ...

I have never once thought about even upgrading to to version 5, for what?

If your site, forums work why fix it? Have fun with what you have !!

We will be interested in this, Paul.

[In Omnibus]

If you're interested in Paul doing custom work on your forums privately then that's how you should discuss it: Privately. This is the wrong place to solicit paid work and all it can do is cause problems.

[Alan_SP]

Not necessary.

We can discuss about it publicly, as there's obviously big public interest about this particular custom work. And we know about it only because it was publicly unannounced.

I guess that all of us can privately define all details with Paul, but some work could be done openly.
