    Default vBulletin 5 Connect

    Thought I would post a thread about this seeing as over the next coming months we will know more and more about it. vBulletin 5 Connect is basically the next major version of the software they create. This does involve the standard forum software. I have to say it does look interesting to see what they will add into vB in terms of features and what not. So if you like vBulletin or forum software then take a look:

    Video:

    BETA Demo:

    The demo kinda sucks but it is still in beta. A lot of work still needs to be done by the looks of it.

    All I've been able to ascertain from the video and the features list is a whole load of marketing crap. From what I can tell it's just a UI overhaul.

    Current default UI is crap, current admin UI is crap. A UI change isn't bad but yeah I get you.


    Site Builder
    One of the best new features of vBulletin 5 Connect is Site Builder. Site Builder is a new way to build and manage your sites. It features drag and drop technology to enable you to build custom pages that fit your needs quickly and easily. Site Builder also includes a Style Generator so you can quickly and easily create a new styles with custom color combinations.

    Everything is Content
    In vBulletin 5, we’ve developed an idea that everything is content. This is built around a new content model involving channels, nodes and the actual content. In this model everything works the same, everything is searchable and everything provides a modern input system. Adding new content should be more intuitive for your users.

    New Search
    The Search Engine architecture has also been reconfigured so that all content is easily searched. Rewritten from the ground up, the new search engine should provide more relevant details and accurate results.

    MVC Architecture
    vBulletin 5 Connect introduces a new MVC Architecture designed to separate the business logic from the presentation logic more than ever before. This will allow vBulletin 5 to be quickly and easily extended as we bring new features to the software.

    Responsive Design
    People are using devices of many different sizes these days. These include phones, tablets and ultra-high density monitors. We’ve included a responsive design in vBulletin 5 that scales to the device being used. No more worrying about mobile styles and trying to configure things for multiple devices. vBulletin adjusts to the screen-size of the user’s device automatically.

    Expanded API
    The API of vBulletin has been expanded. Not only can mobile apps take advantage of the API, the web interface of vBulletin uses it for its own purposes as well. This provides a more structured design and the ability to code everything once regardless of how it is accessed.

    Site builder seems a bit tacky and I think will be barely used.

    Updated search is certainly needed if vBulletin wants to continue being used by large communities.

    Not exactly sure how "Responsive design" is meant to work with fixed width pages.

    They need a proper clean out, things that people never use can go etc etc

    I was playing around with Zach's (Qzaki) vBulletin 5 yesterday. It definitely needs a lot of work done to it, thus the better stage I guess. Look how long it took 4.X.X to be perfected... Lol

    Far from perfect yes. I find the improvement level of updates with vBulletin are slow as hell...

    I think they are all 4.X.X based now... I have yet to see one operating anything under that.
