Hello everyone, I have been looking at the Demo for VBulletin and I like what I see, however I am wondering how difficult it will be to transfer from my current setup.
I am finding that phpBB is a nuisance, recently I had to upgrade the software for 3 versions ( so many keep coming out so quickly) anyway, I lost all my mods, and now have to put them all back again. My other option was to just alter the code that had changed but I would have been there forever doing that. To get the functions I would like on the phpBB, There would be far too many mods I would need to add, and its far too time consuming to be continually doing that. Most of the mods I like are standard with VBulletin from what I am seeing ....
I have some questions about VBulletin.
Will my forum be as fast as it is currently? I have no speed issues and members are very happy. The community has 1800 members and 200,000 posts, though I do prune them routinely.
I have severe cookie problems on my board with using phpBB, Many AOL users cannot even log in. Is VBulletin AOL friendly? ( Not that I use it, but many members do)
Recently I tried to integrate something called "Photopost classifieds" into my forum, this has been impossible and another reason I am here, since I believe its much more VB friendly.
Here my forum www.mlptp.net
Currently it has a side navigation bar ( frameset) and then the forum along side that.
Can I do the same thing with the VBulletin? and if so, how would I do that?
Im sorry for asking so many questions, its just I want to get this right, and dont want to upset 1800 members.....
Thankyou so much for any input,
Terrie
