JFYI.

The final release of 3.8.11 was done today.

vBulletin.org will be upgrading to 3.8.11 in the next week.

Additionally, we will be switching the site to SSL in the next week or two.

Great news.
Even the administration declined any updates in the past (amongst other due to modifications) finally there will be updates
Thanks.

Finally ?

You do know we have been running the latest versions for about the last 12 months ?

Always a great update to see with the 3.8 version. Thanks.

How come the site hasn't been updated to the latest vBulletin software?

Honestly, I love vb4 more than vb5, and I love vb3 more than both!! Heck, I still use three in one of my communities. I've been using 3.8.11, so I'll have to upgrade. hehe

Same here, I prefer 3.8.X over vB4.x and vB5 (I have an active vB5 license too).

So, you don't have to upgrade to PHP5.x. Im not a coder but you can find a PHP coder to upgrade 3.8.11 to PHP7.2 +. How to hire a coder: https://forum.vbulletin.com/forum/vb...-vb-programmer

That's what I did. Im running 7.2.23 right now on cPanel. The source code in my version is called vB3.8.PHP7273 and it is working fine with my current 3.8.11 license, the same with the current vBulletin products/plugins installed.

There may be an alternative approach if one doesn't want to mess up with PHP upgrades.

The latest dotnet core (available on macOS, Windows, and Linux) accepts PHP as one of its development language.

I have faith that this badass won't complain about deprecated PHP 5 expressions.

Nice !


All my 3.8.11 products /plugins (about ten mods) work fine with PHP 7.2+ except the following two mods:

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=147344 (customized for a WordPress/vBulletin bridge)

I will decide in the next few weeks if I will still pay to upgrade these two products to PHP 7.2+. I am woking on my responsive style right now.

I am working on mine, too. vB3 default style utilizes too much <table> tags. My rewritten style only uses <div> tags with lots of flex-boxes.

P.S.: Please post here if once you have tried dotnet core with vBulletin 3.

I don't use the default style. I personalize a lot using conditionals.

I use this responsive style : https://www.sultantheme.com/product/st-vb3-responsive/ Demo : https://www.sultantheme.com/forum/

I bought close to 60% of the Sultanthemes themes (vB3 & vB5) and about 10 hours of personalized work. Napy8gen is a very good designer.
