The v4 upgrade was a real mess, took a couple of weeks to get everything back running properly. I think that was what started the database woes as well.
The original vB folks all left vB after 3.8. v4+ was built by other folk who did not know their stuff like the originals but thought they did. They added a lot of functionality but broke a lot more.
