How to use VBulletin

[StevieG]

vB pwns UBB, if only for Search

iron, a "Meet vB" post would probably be a good thing.

here are some cool things about vB right off:

Search is much easier and straightforward

It is possible to send PMs to multiple people - they essentially work like private threads.

There is a built in download function for PMs.

There are suggestions for related threads at the bottom of the thread you are reading.

Quotes include reference to quoted poster.

Can I send a virus to BluffThis by PM that prevents him from posting on any message board ever again?

[StevieG]

niss,

no, but there may be a mod for vB that allows this

Pros and Cons of vB and UBB

vB
Pro: search feature, multiple-PM-recipients, etc
Con: THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA

UBB
Pro: everyone is already using it and it's working fine
Con: none

mbillie,

UBB is way overtaxed for this volume of activity. It is not working fine.

the standard on VB is not to nest quotes, but i know it can be programmed to

I am so happy. I am a big fan of Vbulletin. Run 5 VBulletin sites myself. UBB is not bad, but I just am much more comfortable with VBulletin.

What is another forum that uses VB so I can look at it?

I'm with mbillie I know nothing about the software, but I think I know what I am talking about and am afraid of change.
