vBAdvanced doesn't need it's own skin system - It was designed to fully integrate with vB using the same styles to save people the hassle of having to redesign a skin manually and to also provide a uniform look between the CMS and Forum.

This is just to nuke-ish for me. All these portals look the same to me aswell......

Its werid, now a days a lot of the sites you visit have basicly the same layout because they use some sort of CMS or portal system. No one strives to set new standards anymore...

Oh, I think somebody will...;)

sorry about the americanized word - was a piss take line tbh - the american makeover was a sort of pun to how americans do makeovers big style as opposed to everyone else.But the portal is not for me,and filburts words about sum up this crap portal for me

also i did install this a few months back,it stayed for a day while i messed with it then i deleted the lot,simply because of the way the whole layout is.

a bit differnt... www.sprnch.com using vbindex

yep used that program never liked that much but u done a good job on it netherless m8

Nice site u got there m8

lasto please be polite :)

hmm ? i aint said anything m8 unles su wrote vbindex then if so

is one of the best portals ive used - would reccomend to everyone :)

I too had those same thoughts when I read that post. I too am not American.



To add on to some of the comments already posted, I guess it really depends on what level you are at and what features you really need.
For me, I don't need most of the features in any portal, and most portals don't have the features I need.

So I coded my own. I think that's the best way, in that YOU suit YOUR requirements. Of course I can understand not even can do this, and in that case, these portals *may come in handy, but I would still recommend everyone to try to customize their site.

Like Brad mentioned, too many sites looking the same these days.

vBindex all the way. My site's homepage has run off vBindex since vBulletin 2, it does everything I need and more.
