mmm...what do you mean by complete make-over american style? ... is this some kind of racial superiority complex?

my two cents.

im english myself so wheres the racism in my post - i explained above that by american i meant over the top.

I don't find racism in anything. I merely find it inappropriate and even insensitive to mention it that way, both to americans and everyone else non-american.

I'll stop here since we are supposed to be discussing Portals.

yep but seeing as it was mentioned it deserves a reply,but it seems people are quick to jump on this racism bandwagon way to easy these days.I do understand that on certain boards people come from all walks of life but when a simple comment like that can be taken out of context to make it seem like soemthing else then its a sad day indeed.

here is my post a few of you are claiming is racist or even implying :

You tell me that portal dont look like invision boards to you - the features are good but the whole style needs serious work to be considered as a front end for many vb boards.

now wheres the inappropriate and even insensitive text ?

I agree with cinq, although I'll try to do so without angering anyone. :P

The features are good, but as he said the style is very invision-looking.

lasto - at least that last quote is constructive criticism, the author could clean it up abit, to make it appeal to us more. People want their site to be consistant, if the home page looks completely different, well, it's not as good.

I used to use phpnuke, it was good, and so is this, but I'd much prefer vBadvanced or vBindex with vBulletin. It just -fits.

What I find odd is on mk's site all the examples for every forum type all have it within mk accept vB, which instead points to this dudes site. Are you and mk one in the same and trying to promote your portal in 3rd party hoping to get users to use it?

It does pick up the styles if you want it to so it does not look so Invisionized *shudder

*hXc_Radio, there is no conspiracy here. I am the first beta vB site for them. I live in CA, meo lives in Rome... a bit of a walk if you ask me...JFK was no an alien, and no one is watching you to steel your tator tots..

I like vBadvanced CMPS, it's so neat and not cluttered like this MKPortal.

C_P we thank you for telling us about the portal.

But it seems you are spamming this portal on every site you visit.

Most people using vBulletin (portalnamehere) are fairly set in their ways. and unless it does everything their current portal does, 1000x less intensively, and has more better features. They most likely won't be switching soon, and even if it did, they still might not switch because of prefrence.

You are fighting a hard uphill war.

I think sharing the information is fine.
Let users decide.
It's not like he gets a commission for each install for MKPortal (could be wrong though)

When I first got on VB, I too harped about how good it was on several boards I visited not using it. I don't consider it spamming, I merely considered it sharing the information on how to help those sites improve.

Nothing wrong, imho.

But posting about a product on various sites is considered spam right? I mean .. be it for free ipods, porn sites or free software ..
