I’ve recently had the opportunity to administrate a bulletin board powered by VBulletin. I must say I am really pleased with how powerful and flexible this piece of software is.
Compared to phpBB and InvisionBoard, VBulletin is a little expensive. It has very strict coding rules and compact function control. From the outside look (as a user on the forum), everything is layed out very nicely. All the controls are organized into areas, with explanations for those who need them. The admin control panel is simply fantastic. It’s as if I can moderate and modify the options of VBulletin even if I’m blind. All the options are filed into corresponding categories. Not to mention the accessibility of all of them, it’s so much easier to control VB than phpBB or IPB.
Registered users commented that they could change their own custom title, which was surprisingly nice. The WYSIWYG interface for posting is just awesome. Smileys were from DarkProject Studios, and were uploaded through the admin cp with clear instructions.
If I ever happen to own a bulletin board, I will get VBulletin just for its professionalism.
Hello,
I am having trouble with my Internet explorer.It is doing some very odd things.Sometimes it will completely close the page i am visiting for no reason or it will be very slow loading pages and when i say slow i mean very very very slow for eg i tried to google something and after 10 minutes of the page trying to load i gave up.I thought that it was perhaps the topic i was searching so i tried putting in random things to see if that made any difference but it didn’t.Another problem i had was when i was on a forum and clicked on a link and nothing happened i tried to open a new tab and that wouldn’t work either and it would let me access any options that are in my tools menu.i had to restart my computer.Just to let you know i have high speed Internet connection.Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me with this problem.
