Since upgrading our VB from 3.8 a week or so ago to the full site, I must say that I am super happy with everything so far. I have learned a **LOT** from reading the forums both here and at vbulletin.org as well as some other sites.
I am not a programmer (although I like to mess around) or designer (see 'programmer') and yet I have found out how to add many cool features to our website, TabletPCBuzz.com.
What have I done so far?
- Changed my logo and link
- Added a wiki
- Manually updated and submitted my sitemap to Google, Yahoo, etc.
- Installed widgets
- Started a blog
- Added more choices to the navigation bar
- Added a wiki (vaultwiki Lite)
- changed some design elements of the basic template and much more
I even wrote a BB code on my own!! (Float image right)
Oh, and I locked out every stupid spammer using all the tools available!
When I purchased our forum in 2007 it was on Snitz (shudder) and I evaluated a lot of forum software before choosing vBulletin. I have had very good success and our traffic is already showing improvement.
Just wanted to express my appreciation since I have been spending a lot of time reading the forums and have seen a lot of complaints. Not to say people shouldn't complain, but I think those of us that are happy don't post a lot because......we are happy.
I am looking forward to a long relationship with vBulletin and want to express that I have gotten tremendous value from my investment in the software.
