Still don't know who you are... in fact, this is the first time I've seen your username or mattster.

[Tiger-Matt]

Well, I do have over 220 posts and have been a member for just under a year now, so I thought you may have heard of me by now

To be honest, at the moment I prefer the new version of InvisionBoard over vBulletin.

Oh i ll love this if you did it Peo

Would it be too costly to just switch right to IP.Board then Peo? I mean it does seem better than using vB and seems more reliable/secure to use for everyone, members & admins alike.
I wouldn't mind giving a hand too, if we ever did make that switch from vB to IP.Board

Well i dont think so cost should be a big matter here. As one can search for perpetual and even lifetime licenses over the net for IPB and if you are talking about hassle of DB conversion i think $120 is not that much amount to convert this huge FWS data base from vB to IPB.

Yes the new IPB seems really good. But it all depends on if you use lots of mods ect. I like with VB is that there mod database is huge.

Well IPS data base is also no where lesser in size to vB if you are an active costumer there. Or even you can get alots of free mods fo IPB for which I am sure you ll have to pay using vB.

What does IPB give that vbb doesn't? I've always been partial to VBB, but to be honest the last time I used IPB was when it was a free forum software based on the aging and wonderful ikonboard. Guessing a lot has changed?

Not really you can add 3 times more stuff and features to VB then IPB but the profiles and facebook connect is brilliant on IPB.

IPB have been adding some nice features over the last year. It shows they understand the future of forums. vB? Not so much... They've been going in the other direction since they got sold and on top of that charging more.

Adding more to TLCHosting's post......
even login management feature in IPB is brilliant you can even share login to many other gr8 script's DBs like WHMCS without much hassle
and even you can create a login share to any DB system using IPB Login Management Feature with having some basic knowledge

So when FWS is shifting to IPB ???

[Peo]

Again, I don't think members would like to move to IPB, so we're likely to keep vB and upgrade later this summer. Maybe vB will catch up when they see where IPB is going.

ooopppsss
ok but

I highly doubt that.

Been looking @ IPB's demos and I must say, it has evolved quite a bit since last time I used it. I'm impressed.
