I noticed we're running on vb3.6 beta 2 right now. Have you noticed anything wierd here yet lee?

**nwingate** · 06-22-2006, 02:12 PM

I'm running it on diggfans.com. So far so good. I have one error I can't fix but I think that is because I imported from phpbb. All the new members have a title of Admin

**LeeD** · 06-22-2006, 05:19 PM

Nothing weird yet...I am enjoying it thus far!

No :001_tongue:

They are really about equal, some differences here and there, but nothing major...I prefer vB because of the larger mod/support community and the fact that it is more widely used.

oh, and 3.6 is great, even thought it is :beta1:

vBulletin has a larger following than IPB, purely because IPB has only recently become a part of the superior forum software market.

IMO, vBulletin is and always will be market leader

I never tried VB but i see it alot so i think it is great .. but never seen admin cp there .. So thats why i always use ipb

They have an admin demo... try looking. Just not for 3.6 because it's still in beta.

I blogged ipb vs vB not too long ago, as I use both systems.

have a read if you wish: http://www.skeymedia.com/programming...ard/index.html

vB 3.60 beta 3 now

. I see that digitalpoint forums is using it. Lots of nice new features.

**Lpspider** · 07-01-2006, 01:00 AM

Yes. Anyone know when the final stable version will be released? (well, an estimate - obviously you probably don't know)

**kinkarso** · 07-01-2006, 01:03 AM

probably in half a month. Remember when vB.com/.org was down? That really put a dent in their income. And it was for more than 12 hours too.

I doubt we'll see it in 2 weeks...and I seriously doubt that the 12 hours that vb.com and vb.org really affected their revenue at all...it's not as if the people who wanted to buy vB during that downtime decided they'll never try again

Yeah, really, I agree. And all the current customers - it didn't affect them very much unless they wanted to acess the member's area.

No bugs from the front end at least. Looks very slick. I love the skin and the features

**LeNNY** · 07-01-2006, 02:25 PM

The only small problem ive had thus far was forced to run maint. on our database as we kept getting emails about the threadviews / threadid table couldnt be opened. After that all has been well..

**sitedesigner** · 07-01-2006, 02:26 PM

Good to hear lenny

**LeNNY** · 07-01-2006, 02:37 PM

im not A DB man .. but im THEE DB man, php, garbage man and a few other things on many sites..
