    Default Site Upgrade

    We are going to take the plung soon and upgrade the site. In the process we're probably going to change the board software. We currently use phpBB but are looking at a move to V Bulletin.

    If you want to see what V Bulletin looks like, please wonder over to Karl's Uzi World web site and check it out. Then feel free to post feedback here.



    Thanks

    Wow! does that mean we lose all those valuable posts in the Boost your Post count thread?

    From my experience on other forums, it's a great improvement.

    Good choice.

    Maybe, maybe not. vBulletin can import databases from many other bulletin board software packages including phpBB. The only issue might be the particular version that you are trying to import from. We'll just have to see as we go. Karl.

    Please let me know if you need any assistance, I'm not a code junky, but I can figure crap out and ain't too shabby with a web page design WYSWYG tool or three.

    If it stays up, I like it. :P

    I use other forums using vBulletin. I like the software...at least from the user perspective. I can't speak to the admin side of things.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    we appreciate the support.

    Ummm, do we have a host? Do I need to download the software? Karl.
