Default IS the CMS worth it?
Starting a new community, havent used VBulletin in many years and noticed many changes.
I am wondering, is it worth purchasing the CMS portion? Is the CMS better than lets say VBadvanced?

Also, if I purchase the publishing suite, are they skins (themes) easily avalaible?

thanks for the help...

Using the VB CMS over VB Advanced will be a matter of opinion, but there are other advantages for buying the Suite over the Forum Only package including better support that should also figure into your decision.

As for styles, there are a number available for download in the 4.x Styles section. Style versions are more specific in 4.x then they were in older versions so you'll be best using a style that exactly matches your specific version, or at least very close to it. You wouldn't even try to use a style for 4.0.1 for example on 4.1.2.

Can't say how it compares with vBAdvanced but if you are thinking it is anything like Joomla or Drupal for ease of use and features (like me at the pre-sale) then think again. By those standards it is rudimentary at best. I know, I know, I should have waited for the reports to come in before I jumped.

Hoping and praying it gets better because it is a bear to work with although a single login is nice (only thing that is).

Jeff.

If you're looking to build more content outside your forums, then I'd recommend the CMS. I haven't checked out vBadvanced, so I can't speak on that.

I wish they'd just work on the forum vs. adding an entire CMS to spread improvements even more thin. No way they'll ever catch up with any other CMS already mentioned, and just by trying, they're taking attention away from the forum.

I don't think the CMS is really that great, but I do like the blogs.

Don't buy Suite, it sucks. I suggest downloading 3.8.x instead. vBulletin screwed up vB 4 major since the new owners can't do anything

I bought suite, terrible mistake, I went back to forums only.
I am looking to use a custom CMS....the vB CMS is nowhere near gold...
Editing or updating CMS is terrible, they need to make it easy to edit like vBAdvanced..
Worst piece of software I've had to deal in a long time.
