General vBulletin 6

[fords8]

Hey @Shawn , I also have been thinking about using VB6.

As a guest on your Off Topic forum, I get an error message when trying to change themes.

Just a heads up.

vBulletin was the first forum software I used in terms of being a member and it helped me fall in love with forums.

I might have to peek at the features list for vBulletin 6 to see what it's like.

I will say that from using the demo, the option to quickly install some pre-installed themes quickly is nice.

I think I last used vB 3.8.7 if my memory serves. How does vB 6 compare?

 

[Arantor]

It's basically vB 5 with a new theme. Given that vB 5 didn't exactly set the world on fire, vB 6 isn't showing signs of doing so either.

I sampled the free demo out of curiosity, and I have to admit, it didn't impress me at all. Transitioning from a Dark theme to the Admin CP is jarring – unless I've overlooked a setting in the extensive options list, the brightness of the Admin CP is quite overwhelming.



The AdminCP remains outdated, retaining the same design from its previous iterations. Considering I possess an older license, I might upgrade and utilize it for a low-stakes project, such as a theming test board, which I wouldn't mind being compromised. However, I would not employ it for a fully-fledged community platform.

"world's leading..." right. Maybe when it was vB3. Ever since then, not so much leading anymore. I can do that too.

"Administrata. World's leading admin community."

That is my fault:

Post in thread 'Introducing the Administrata Task Hub'

I realize I need to provide a bit more context.

Unfortunately, the Task system add-on was poorly designed. I’ve spent the last 6-7 hours troubleshooting, but unfortunately, we still haven’t resolved the issue. We lost 274 attachments, some of which were important, while others were not. Somehow, the task add-on took over these attachments, linking them to its own operations - obviously not the behavior it should have.

For now, I’ve decided to uninstall the add-on until it either exits beta or is redesigned with better attachment management. However, in doing so, 274 attachments were...

It is working now. And I don't have the image anymore.
