I have to say that vBulletin is way better than phpBB. All the pages load alot faster and it is brighter which makes it sort of easier on the eyes. So I guess I will make this into a poll.

You say this is brighter? Why didn't you just change the skin in PhpBB...
VBulletin I generally prefer with forums, but it has its downsides.

vBullitien is awesome. We should have a site-wide vote on which skin we should have.

Yes, I'm planning to add more skins to the forum, however, it's up to Francis if it needs to be manually installed :P
And yes, vBulletin rocks! So much functionality and it's so much faster! And it's going to get even better once we install more MODs and fix up a few things! ^_^

Nykole, at nearly the top part of this page, look for "Display Modes" button. Click it, then select "... Linear Mode". That should fix things :)

If you don't like it, then get over it or don't come to the forums.

You could do that in PhpBB. Vbulletin is a much better package than phpBB IMO.

Sounds silly but I can't really decide. This one's faster but I was so used to the old one. I'm not a big fan of change so yeah, I'll just have to get used to this one.

this one is just more upgraded, its better, and faster, and eaiser, allthough navigation is off a bit.

I pick vBulletin, in my opinion.

There's still so much that we're working on, so anyone that has doubt about this forum, just hang in there. Many more features are to come. As for now, you can enjoy the many pleasures of vBulletin, such as our incredible search index, the hybrid thread view, the similar threads feature, and the many advanced font options :)
