The site you linked looks like a generic forum with a generic portal and an easily coded bit of AJAX for swapping windows out. It's hardly groundbreaking and something I'd be apt to drop vB for.



I agree. I've run three boards over the million post mark, and my current project is at 500k. I consider myself an experienced forum admin as well as a half decent coder, and vB is the only thing I'll run on my sites. My only gripe (if you can call it that) is that I'd like to see a fully CSS version of vB in lieu of tables.

I would also like to vBulletin with no/few tables and CSS layout control. And a lot of people's arguments against it may be older browsers, but the idea of CSS layout and such is for forward compatibility and only working effect in older browsers rather than being tied down to Internet Explorer 4-5 and earlier versions of Netscape.

If they are not at least using Internet Explorer 5, companies should stop trying to give them a perfectly exact layout than to modern browsers.
