I just want to say thank you to the community, modders and coders here. I've just spent the last 3 hours of my life setting up and lightly modding a phpBB forum and it is _ABYSMAL_ compared to vBulletin.

I've never appreciated vB and the work you all do here as much as I do now. So.. Thank you all.

I'm going with wretched.

Quote:
Main Entry: abys?mal
Pronunciation: &-'biz-m&l, a-
Function: adjective
Date: circa 1656
1 a : having immense or fathomless extension downward, backward, or inward <an abysmal cliff> b : immeasurably great : PROFOUND <abysmal ignorance> c : immeasurably low or wretched <abysmal living conditions of the poor>
2 : ABYSSAL
- abys?mal?ly /-m&-lE/ adverb
3 hours to setup custom user profile fields, wading through their slew of poorly-arranged hacks and mods, and they still don't work. In vB I could add 100 of them in about 5 minutes.

Ugh. The forum is for a buddy of mine who doesn't want to buy vB. I think I have some serious convincing to do.

(Not meant to slag phpBB in any way, maybe I just suck at it, but man what a hassle)

Tell him to go with SMF. 100000000 times better than phpBB. It is actually up to speed with current paid software (sort of, it still doesn't have as many features, but way closer and as far as I can tell more secure than phpBB).
