      We have never made it a big secret what version of PHP we were running. We have always tried to keep our web site at the cutting edge of technology, using the newest releases of nginx, PHP, MySQL, vBulletin, VaultWiki itself, and more in order to maintain a compatible product and show it off.

      Details

      However, not all of the software we use has been so zealous. As a result, over the past year and a half, customers and prospective buyers alike have noticed compatibility error messages riddled across the site. Unfortunately for us, the developers of vBulletin, the forum software we primarily supported for the past 5 years, did not keep their software up-to-date with respect to new versions of PHP.

      After a year and a half of waiting for an update, including one that was promised to resolve the issues and ended up making no headway in that respect, and countless complaints from our own customers and lost leads, we have officially downgraded our front-end site from PHP 5.4 to PHP 5.3.

      Again this is in no way a reflection on PHP itself, but rather on vBulletin. We do hope they release a compatibility update soon, especially as PHP 5.5 recently had a stable public release. If ever this happens, we will surely update to the newest compatible PHP version there is.

      Despite the site being an older version of PHP, we will still be developing VaultWiki and maintaining it to be compatible with the newest PHP releases. Any portions of our web site that do not rely on vBulletin (like the XenForo demo and some other minor areas) will use PHP 5.5 or whatever the newest stable release is at the time.

      What to Take Away

      The main reason for this announcement is not to transmit any displeasure with vBulletin or its development team. Our customers have long been aware of the PHP 5.4 issues on our site with respect to vBulletin, and with the errors on our site now being gone, we did not want to make any implicit endorsements that vBulletin was now working with PHP 5.4. The newest PHP family that is compatible with vBulletin 3 & 4 is still PHP 5.3, and we still do not recommend upgrading to PHP 5.4 (or beyond) at this time if you are running vBulletin.
