Right on. 8 weeks now and still the issue, probably very small, remains unresolved. I will pay a guy who says he runs a vBulletin forum to come and look at it. Many of my IT savvy friends from the UK have had a look and they too couldn't figure it out. One of my friends works in a big company and has a degree in IT, he couldn't firgure it out either...

Had I known it's such an advanced board I would not have bought it. But I have to be careful what I say here because most of you appear to big time fans of vBulletin......

There is a problem somewhere within the user groups, permissions etc. whatever... I looked and looked, read and reread the manual but...

I think what the makers of vBulletin forget is that not everyone is tech savvy. I think that this "usergroups" or whatever they call it, is extremely confusing and very difficult to understand. If Jelsoft continues to target tech savvy buyers only then soon some company will jump in and start selling much more user friendly forums.

Most boards have forums and settings to set up those forums with; vBulletin has sooooooo much more stuff to it or things that you can do with it that it is definitely not for the every day Joe and Jane, it's simply very very confusing.

Yes, vBulletin is very secure, and that is the reason I ditched the old Simple Machine Forum, and bought vBulletin, but it is definitely not not a user-friendly forum... no offence.

By the way, I am not a native speaker, so for the ones who may want to have something to say about my writing style, I'd say: DON'T.
