We are pleased to announce the release of vBulletin 4.1.11 BETA 1.

Beta releases are not recommended for Production/Live sites. While QA has tested most of the fixed issues in this release and completed substantial functional regression testing, additional instability may exist. While, vBulletin 4.1.11 BETA 1 is very close to what we will release as 4.1.11, it should not be used to upgrade your live sites.


Please note:



  • We do not provide support for Beta versions
  • We do not recommend Beta software to be installed on production sites.
  • We always recommend that you back up your database fully before attempting to install Beta software.

We are pleased to announce the release of vBulletin 4.1.11 ALPHA 1.

This is an early evaluation release of 4.1.11. While QA has tested most of the fixed issues in this release, additional code changes are in progress, and functional regression testing has not yet been completed. As such, vBulletin 4.1.11 ALPHA 1 should not be used to upgrade your live sites.

What's New in vBulletin 4.1.11 Alpha 1?
The largest change in 4.1.11 Alpha 1 is the conversion of the vBulletin Mobile Style to a master style, including changes to the mobile style install/upgrade script. Once 4.1.11 is released, customizations to the mobile style for your sites will not longer be overwritten on upgrade.
