Free vbulletin forum ?

[Squeak]

How is this possible? Is it really vb or something else made to look like it.Its features are not like paid vb,in posting options or in the ACP but its still free vb forum hosting.

I've never had a VB before. Does it look like VB? ..doesn't to me

 

[fireshark]

It's an old version. This may be legal depending on the license agreement back then (a la IPB 1.3 vs IPB 2.0's license agreement)

vBulletin 2.3 is old.

They are running on version 2.3. So it does not look alike to the latest now. Illegal or not, depend on the agreement they have than.

To get to the ACP you just click your name to view profile,dont go into your profile,just click your name as you would any one elses to view it,then you will see an ACP option.

No options to change themes and I havent seen much support in their so called 'Support forum' either.

Yeah ...thanks. I found the ACP. Nice boards though. I never had the chance to play with a VB before. I like it. It has lots of options in the ACP.

I have just email vBulletin to enquiry about this. So will have to wait for their respond whether it is illegal or not.

alley, if you think those features are nice, you should try 3.6.4 i just bought it, and its insane, i believe you can try the demo at www.vbulletin.com.

I have admin access to vb 3.53 and its way better than this free version.
Actually I prefer SMF to this free version too.But then I guess its also the forum hosts that has limited its features maybe.
