    The admin cp is nearly identical between 3.x and 4.0...I would definitely upgrade the forum to 4.0 because of the features and just because it's brand new.

    As for the publishing suite, it is definitely a nice feature how the cms is integrated with the forums...$165 is a pretty hefty price just for the additional cms though. you could really get the vbadvanced (vBadvanced) which is a free homepage/articles for vbulletin. so just compare the vb publishing suite to vbadvanced and see if its really worth the $165 for you.

    I have already taken the plunge and upgraded to the CMS... the biggest issue is that the cms is seperate from the forum... the cms threads are just that cms threads even if you upgrade a forum thread to an article it seperates the cms responses from the original forum thread... makes things difficult to follow.

    Other than that its a killer script, the addition of the blog option allow makes it worth it in my opinion... my club may not even use the cms portion and just use the forum and the blogs.

    I think we are going to just go with the Vbulletin 4.0 software. Let's hold off on the CMS stuff for a little while. Most things I've been hearing is that it's not worth the money until they get some things worked out.

    Also I have looked at vbadvanced and it looks like an option that might work for us as well.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions and tips guys!

    Also if we go with the CMS system a homepage could be setup similar to this.

    Well I just spent about 2 hours getting the VB4 Gold Release installed and configured. One thing I don't think will work for the current time is that ALL of the url links got changed which will really hurt our google exposure. I need to wait for VBSEO 3.5 final release to come out before I attempt again to ensure all links will remain the same and SEO friendly for google.

    Sorry for the delay guys. I'm sure it will only be a week or two after the new year!

    Just as a heads up guys I have not forgotten about this upgrade. I checked today and VBSEO is currently in the RC2 stage and should have a final release soon. Once that comes out we should be good to start the migration!
