Hello.
I have just spent some time using the admin demo for the full version of vBulletin. I have a need for a stable, fully featured php/MySQL driven bulletin board. It is imperative that I have this software for my use in the next 2 weeks.
I have some questions regarding functionality. If you can answer these to my satisfaction, it would help to assure a sale.
1. Can I send an email to all registered users? If so, how and what function would allow this? If not, can I export a list of all registered users easily to import into a proper mailing list program?
2. Is there a way to turn polls off so they are not available? Can polls be on in some forums and not in others?
Frankly, my only concern about this board program is that it is so feature rich that it might prove complicated for some to use. I'm setting up a board for someone in their 60s. I hope they will only have to read and post articles - I will be taking care of configuring all the options thankfully. But the readers will definitely be older too, so I don't want to scare them off with all the registration options and extra features like polling, URL parsing and file attaching.
I hope you appreciate this concern and have a response. If anyone who reads this can suggest a use of vBulletin that caters to older audiences that I could visit, I would appreciate the link.
Thanks very much.
