    vBulletin 5 Connect Beta 13 is now available for customers to download and for prospective customers to preview at www.vbulletin.com/vb5demo/.
    The feedback thread on vBulletin 5 Connect beta 13 for our licensed customers is here.

    We are continuing to make significant progress in our beta program. Beta 13 includes fixes to 112 issues. Beta 13 includes a variety of performance fixes, with many additional performance improvements coming shortly. Additionally, beta 13 fixes a wide variety of bugs including ones with Site Builder, the activity stream and the upgrade process.

    A large number of the fixes in beta 13 are in response to feedback we have received from many of you who have been testing the previous betas. This input is enormously helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you and please keep this feedback coming! We are already making good progress on our next beta release subsequent to 13, and we'll share this as soon as development and QA are complete.

    (Note: As with all beta releases, we aren't able to provide phone or ticket support for beta 13. Customers purchasing a vBulletin 5 Connect license will receive 30 days of free ticket support starting with the gold release of the software.)

    I quite like it. It feels great and it's layout is better and easier and the style doesn't look like mould. I like the darker green rather than the mouldy green.
    Obviously there are going to be some teething problems. So there could be a huge amount of bugs that need to be fixed. But it's in beta form so that makes it easy for the other guys to fix it.

    It looks a little bit better, but vBulletin just isn't good enough IMHO.

    It's going to be really interesting to see a big board "upgrade" to vb5 and seeing how bad their SERP's drop since all links will change.

    They still haven't come out with a fix for that? Shocking.

    I don't think they are working on a "fix" to be honest.

    I am not going to upgrade until I think it is necessary to do so. With that upgrade I need to buy the vB 5 connect license. It can wait.
