Ryan, when you get time you should post about some of the features and enhancability (sp) of vB, to get people excited rather than the standard groans about last time, wood paneling, etc. From what I've seen it's pretty sweet. [/ QUOTE ] My plan for this was to make a comprehensive post about new stuff to look for that would go up after the switch. But it may be good to give people a preview beforehand, I suppose. I'll get to that a bit later when I have some time. Feel free to share anything that struck you as cool, though. |

Re: Important info about vBulletin
I think the AJAX thing you did is probably the biggest immediate wow-er.
In vB, Ryan implemented a mod where, when on a forum's main page, every thread has a [+] button that, if clicked, shows the first post in that thread w/o having to open the thread. How cool is that? Other nice perks: WYSIWYG post making/editing. The ability to easily quote multiple posts in your reply. Reduced spam. A badass [spoiler] tag that hides spoiler text or HH results until teh curious person clicks a button. No need for white text, and it'll be hidden regardless of your skin choice. |

One nice thing that even the mods haven't seen quite yet is that 2+2 will automatically switch to using a special lite skin on mobile devices, excluding the iPhone.

No, seriously, it's one of the largest volume sites for vBulletin out there. So you can really test the power of the search there since you are looking at a site larger than 2+2 in traffic and posts. |

Re: Important info about vBulletin
There are many vBulletin forums out there. The thing is the community and it being relatively easy to modify means you can look at two vB boards and get almost entirely different experiences.
Default vBulletin can be found on Jelsoft's site: www.vbulletin.com/forum Somewhat customized official site for modifications: www.vbulletin.org Both of those are using fixed width by default. We will have both fluid and fixed, including conversions of some current 2+2 styles. |
