    vBulletin is a giant cluster****. They just don't care because at the moment they virtually have a monopoly in the forum software niche (let's face it, phpbb and others are cool - but they just don't get the job done).

    I'm glad you run the forum and not me, that's all I have to say :D

    It seems more and more that for-pay software suffers from increased bloat with every release. Also, many companies seem to rest on the strength of their name and don't fear competition. After all, who's going to topple vB? Certainly not some silly, bloat-free, open-source, cost-free, well-documented software, mirite?

    "Wut? We lost all our market share to a free program? Redouble our efforts! Add more obscure table names and increase the price!"

    I've played in vBulletin once...and I hated every second of it. That was just a default install.

    TBH I ran into the same issue trying to learn how to use the software. 90% of it I never touched or used at is was another 2 weeks of learning and breaking things.

    Overall I have yet to find a better system that works and offers as many options and stays updated.

    Since the editing staff is off to CES, I thought I’d sneak in with a short story about my experience with it.

    I see what you did there:vimp:

    Fight the good fight Matt, just don't forget to blow off some steam on TF2 or L4D.

    I just want to illiterate that your doing a great job and your constant work to improve the site is appreciated!

    Also, I'm a semi-aspiring website developer myself so articles like these are always informational and interesting to read.

    Thanks.

    This might be a better way for the future... I use this technique to quickly find and modify things in scripts. 1) View Source on page 2) Determine CSS class name of div/row/cell 3) Search all text files. Don't forget to document your changes!
