I have found vBulletin to be brilliant when theres a vulnerability found. Whenever there is one found, a patch is posted quickly in the Announcements forum on vB.com. As for numbers, since vB 3.5 came out 8 months ago, there has only been 4 updates released for security. Doesnt sound too bad to me

I dont know anything about Postnuke, but for vBulletin there is vBAdvanced CMPS that integrates nicely with vB

Yep, theres the manual here. If theres something not covered, there will always be someone either here or on vB.com who can help
