- - vBulletin vs. Invision Board (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=41682)

I've tried Invision and did NOT like it. VB is MUCH MUCH better :)

Are Guichi and Codename49 the same person? Posts #24 and #26 are identical. Yet Guichi quotes Codename49 in post #29... Weird. :)

Erwin,

umm you re right. These posts are very identical, I never notice until you mention.

i am myself and dont need to pretend or register as someone else just to get my point accross. :tired:

ask an admin to do an IP check on both of us.

LOL i bet you guys will start some conspiracy theories about me aswell.....

Codename49 quoted and commented Guichi's post. I can't believe noone spotted this yet. :p

"supposedly" is the keyword. If you take a closer look at the list of features vBulletin, you will find that it is much more powerful than Invision, in all aspects. Add that to the fact that vBulletin 3 is just around the corner (with the beta openning soon), you'll see vBulletin is a smart investment. From what I've heard, the support at IB is rather bad, while with vBulletin you have both vB.com and vB.org, as well as the official support system where you get a reply within 48 hours.

just to emphase one thing: the invision board code programmer was part of IkonBoard team, until he had an argument and decided to leave the team (official story from my buddy who owns neowin).
then he came up with Invision just to prove to IkonBoard that he's better? not sure on that... :)
however, Invision is not that good in code stability. many sites that i visited have sessionhash problems, pages not displaying all the time (i have to refresh?) etc.
my personal opinion that vBulletin is a great investisment. there are some boards(news portals) out there retailed at $800??? wow...

They are switching from vB to IBF because server loads and stuff.

first of all, is neowin.net and i know neobond, the owner. they had server problems, not board problems, wich are fixed now. is true that they had in mind to switch to Invision, but not before VB3 will be released. in other words, they will never switch.

UPDATE
i just spoked to Neobond on msn. he confirmed me that they tried Invision and they didn't like it at all.

... :confused:

hehe.... that's why :p

also, from other people saying, there are no group perm options?
apparently you cannot set for a guest not to download attachments... i feel so much better in VB's company... :)
