Ok.

Check back later in the week (if all goes according to plan).

Could someone provide a link to a vBulletin board, to see what they look like? Thanks.

Joshua · Jul 29, 2002, 08:27 AM

Didn't we try the switch to vBulletin some time back?

It'll look like UBB (this forum) when we're done with it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

agentz · Jul 29, 2002, 05:45 PM

Am I the only person around here that actually likes UBB?

Has the move to vBulletin been pre-empted at all by the ongoing IE issue at all?

Mac Guru · Jul 29, 2002, 10:04 PM

I host and admin a vBulletin board for my University Marching Band.

You can look at it <a href="http://forums.jamesmeister.com/" target="_blank">here</a>. If you want screenshots of any of the features you don't get to see normally I'll be glad to post there.

One of the only real reasons to switch to vBulletin is the fact that it is a hundred times faster than UBB simply because of the speed of PHP/MySQL. I can't wait!!!!!!!

IUJHJSDHE · Jul 30, 2002, 03:37 PM

HEY!!!
