Both of those allow you create new 'sections', they also allow reviews, and as many thread fields as you want?

I have been researching the above so interested in how yours is different.

Also, is it anywhere as near as flexible as Drupal? (or vbDrupal)

Thanks,

Hope that you're not serious in the part of question that is talking about the other mods. Not because they're not good mods (or scripts), actually we've bought vBa Dynamics, but for the fact that it's impossible to "download, install and check" 3 other programs just to say (without to be always sure) what they can't do comparing with vbFEngine.

What I know for sure that vbFEngine can do while the others can't (not only mods, but PHP scripts too, that's why we're porting it as standalone PHP script) are:

1. About interaction with users (Rating, Reviews, Discussion). You can choose one, or more, or all of:
   1. Simple Rating
   2. Amazon style Rating and Review
   3. Seperate thread for duscussion
2. Rating: Forget about the old fashion rating: "How do you rate it?". Now you can setup as many rating questions you want. The overall of the user's rating is auto calculating
3. 90% of the Options that other mods have as global, in vbFEngine are going to categories. So, you can have a category "Articles" and choose that posts in that category will have Rating and Forum. You can have another category "Reviews" where the posts can have Amazon style Rating and Review plus Forums. Same apply for custom fields. Give a look at: http://www.vbulletinfreelancers.com/...6&title=dating to see how flexible are custom fields. Different extra fields in subcategories.
4. And just for the history, here are the options that you can use setting up a category:
   1. Category: Active/Hidden if for some reason you want to hide it for modifications
   2. Price: In case that you want the user to pay for posting in this category (great for Classifieds)
   3. Style: You can use different vBstyle per category
   4. Allow Rating
   5. Allow Reviews
   6. Allow Forum
   7. Allow Sales (If yes, then users can post in this category items for sale and accept payments by PayPal. Again great for Classifieds)
   8. Allow Gallery (If set to No, only one photo is permitting per post)
   9. Allow Attachments
   10. Allow Chapters (Great for News)
   11. Posts are time limited?
   12. If yes, what to do on expiration: Delete/Hide
   13. vbCredits (+/-) for those who are using vbCredits
   14. vB Points for any post
   15. vB points lower limit to be able to post
   16. Related Forum (to show last x threads)
   17. Related Poll (to show in category's main page)
   18. Do you want more? Try tomorrow the demo, to see how you can have 7 modules by using just one (for now I've setup only the Dating part).
