Interesting, maybe I'll give VbAdvanced another try.
But there's things still lacking with VBa, that other CMS's offer so much better. For one, I'm looking to add a receipe module to it for users to submit and rate recipes. Joomla has nice one, but nothing has been developed for VB regarding a recipe module. I know I can use possible GARs or Cinq's article hack for it, but its not as versatile.
I think products, such as vBadvanced, has the potential of being very versatile. It's all in the matter of how the developer approaches the task(s) at hand. I see vBa and GARS as tools and we use these tools to create works of art.
