Default vBulletin upgrade?

I've been looking for a way to browse the forum on my iPhone that doesn't involving pinch scrolling in Safari. I found an iPhone app called Tapatalk which acts as a shell around the forum and makes viewing the forum easier. However, it only work with vBulletin v3.7 and v3.8, and we're still on v3.0.3 (due to customisations?) Any plan to upgrade in the pipeline?

An upgrade to the software in general would be nice. Everything costs money though. I'd be willing to help fund an upgrade.

VB is free to upgrade. I suspect there are other reasons. russellw may pop in and reveal all.

I'm in the software game myself, thus my initial guess as to why we're still on an older version.

I'd imagine your pretty well spot on..

I am running a ancient version of phpbb on my site for the same reason, too much effort to upgrade :togo:

We have been looking at doing the upgrade for some time but with the extended absence of our tech guru due to work commitments and the relatively high level of customisations in the core vb objects it is a major piece of work.

It will happen eventually but at this stage I can't provide a time frame.

Cheers
Russ
