    vBulletin

    So I know alot of you will probably say that today it's garbage.... and I agree lol. However there once was a time it was on top of the industry. Did you guys ever get to use it during the 3.x days? Did you use it after that?

    RE: vBulletin

    Nowadays it's obviously a joke but it had its own thingy, i won't say it's appealing to the eye but it has something.

    I never had any contact with the Admin CP though, i'm merely talking about my normal user experience. You never knew what topic was last posted for example.

      The ACP is a mess. I guess it had its own thing but its nowhere near what it used to be.

        What about the customization? Moderation tools? What about the personal inbox?

          I hear it doesnt really have much in terms of apps but themes are still a thing I think.

            It has everything required. I won't lie their inbox system is actually quite advanced. About 5 years ago they moved to a chat system for personal messages. Basically like an intsant messenger.

            There are plenty of themes out there, most definitely. SultanTheme is their top theme maker thus far. Mostly designs gaming themes and so forth.

            Mainly what the software lacks is user friendliness. They didn't even have friendly URLs for the longest time on vBulletin 5. The fact that there are no add-ons for it is what mainly changes the game.

            vBulletin 4 is their main product mostly used to this date. Though it has been out of date for quite some time. I was using vBulletin 3 when I was about 15 years old posting on an old flash game site forum. Best choices are either Xenforo 2 or IPB

              I can see why as its more up to date but still a shame as vb 3 > vb4

                RE: vBulletin

                I was quite heavily involved with vBulletin 3 and the v3arcade. It was quite easy to write code for, and the plugin system was quite advanced for its time!

                I never tried vBulletin 4 or 5 as I'd already sold my license, but I hear it was quite the mess.

                  Yeah vB 3 was awesome. It will always be my favorite piece of forum software if not in second place. 4 was ok, but 5 is... awful lol.

                    RE: vBulletin

                    I have never have any personal experience with vBulletin (Admin Panel), but i love to try to it and see what makes the users say it is bad and other forum software is good.

                        God hearing someone say it's garbage sounds so weird. I remember when it was the must-have big forum software. I did love the style tho and still do. I might get an old vbulletin for my forum tbh.

                          I haven't used VB5 so I dunno. I like 3 a lot tho.

                            Yeah and there's a lot of other people that find it garbage since VB5 as well. So many made the upgrade mistake and had their forums ruined. It was good until VB5 and then went downhill. If you need a company question and answer small little site it would work okay I assume.

                              I loved (and still do) vBulletin 3.x and 4.x series. VB5 was terrible. Revillution was born on vBulletin 3.8.x and man I miss those days
