Foot.ie Upgrade to V5, Yay or Nay

[dahamsta]

I'm not sure whether to upgrade to the latest version of the forum software or not, it seems a bit cleaner but I'm not sure if that's enough to be gained out of it to warrant a $200+ fee. What do ye think? This is what it looks like:

Looks very nice, would take a lot of getting used to though. As they used to say on Soccer AM, 'change is not good'.

Not worth the fee. Site looks fine the way it is.

[pineapple stu]

Looks surprisingly ugly and sterile.

My default on stuff like this is "meh" either way, so I've voted the third choice.

[Mr A]

Can't see anything there that looks like a major improvement. Like Stu went with the third option as I really don't mind. There's have to be some real improvements in performance or security or such to make it worth it I think.

Save your money! I prefer this style.

[dahamsta]

Notice any difference on the new server btw? Seems faster to me.

[Acornvilla]

Current style is grand, don't waste your money, we're all used to it the way it is, boo to change and whatnot :D

Re performance, not noticed a major change, everything is working just fine.

[BonnieShels]

Defintely stick with the current style.

[dahamsta]

Ok folks, that's fairly definitive, I'll leave it the way it is for the moment. Thanks.

1. Save the money.
2. Put it towards a Christmas party.
3. Profit???

There's no profit in Foot.ie, unless you're a masochist and like being threatened by amateur solicitors. :)
