    I can't wait to see a live demo or video, did they say anything about posting this info or sharing it sometime soon?

    BTW a few staff members linked to the forumcon 2012 thread because of your pictures, thanks again for that :)

    Oh, bummer! I have to be a license holder. Can you post a screencap of the comment in the contributor forum? Er. Anywhere you're comfortable sharing?

    I didn't even notice that blog post until just now. So, they used Kier's account to announce vB5. WTF?

    Using Kier's account as a marketing stunt? WTF. :confused:

    I don't see why those users are going nuts. Unless vBulletin 5 has a notifications feature, it'll have a hard time competing against XF.

    It does, in some instances. In some screenshots, it shows a red box for notifications just like you see on an xenForo forum as a moderator or administrator.

    What's frustrating for me right now is that I am banned and I can't respond to posts like this one over at xenForo...
    I was the one who asked the first question. My question wasn't really about xenForo. Stupid CTO walked around my question and dodged it by saying "it's in litigation." I asked what CTO/General Manager thought of Kier. That's just embarrassing, it just shows that you have no idea how to respond to person-to-person ideology.

    The reason why I ask is because it's one thing to read on the internet about the court documents with this PR speak going like "Kier is the best developer we had." or "Kier is the best developer in the world. " Or something to that effect. An entirely other one when they say it in person.

    I tried to be viral. #@^&!
