Sorry to hear about your problems... that is quite a chunk of change to toss down on something and not recieve the support you need.

If you ever consider adding a forum to your site, you should deffinitely check out vbulletin. We have a pretty good community here at vbulletin.org and alot of (free) modifications for the board for added functionality that you might need. Alot of us here run our entire sites of the vbulletin "engine".

Anyway, you might also want to check out some places like sitepoint or maybe even slashdot. Both are large communities that may be able to assist you or point you in the right direction. Either way good luck and let us know how things turn out.

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

I apologize for using this as a forum to air my frustrations, but I swear, it was the only place listed in any search engine with people talking about that software.

I do like vbulletin and will definitely consider it in the future. You all might be able to help me in another way. Does anyone know of a CMS software that might help with my needs of publishhing an online newspaper? My two main reqirements are that it be editable and have clearly written documentation.

Again, thanks for the help, sorry if I turned it into my own personal complaint department.

Hi guys i think you are mistaken. I have phpcow and use it for my site. It is a fantastic system. The support staff is excellent so I don't understand why you guys are cursing them. Ever since I have had phpcow I have had no problems and the support staff and programmers are great.

Whenever I have problems they always assist me and I have not seen a better system than phpcow.

I wish them all the best and I think people against them or haters should just try and come up with a better system, which I'm sure they won't be able to.

Best of luck guys and ignore all the haters. :nervous:

thanks

All I can tell you is that the people that is writing bad karma about phpcow is missinformed and telling pure nonsense.

We have four sites with phpcow, all working fine and we have excellent support, and we have about 7 hours of difference with London and about 10 with Georgia.
Our sites, www.ehui.com, www.juarezpress.com, www.durangoaldia.com, www.esneta.net are all powered by phpcow. Please visit us and see our engine.

Phpcow is so flexible that we have added our own custom functions to work with other systems.

Please don't be missguided and tryit for yourself.

I think both sites have had their chance to tell how they look upon this product. As stated before, vbulletin.org is not the place to discuss this.

Time to close this discussion.
