    Foot.ie Upgrade to V5, Yay or Nay

    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.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Looks surprisingly ugly and sterile.

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

    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.

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

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

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

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