MySQL is the only database that I know works with vbulletin and is the only supported one I think. Any version 4 php works I think too. And about the language packs thing, vbulletin 2 has a pretty good variety of packs but since vbulletin 3 but became rc I doubt it has any but like german.

These is no better forum anywhere. It has all that you want, and more than that. It's a no brainer. Buy it and toss the freebies..

Heh, well, I need some very good research before jumping anywhere...once the forum goes public (right now its held at a low profile), it will have a heavy load and features much be rich and working properly.

Anyway, Subforums and that ALL is in danish is *very* important.

Another thing about support, how good are they at giving it?, if I (or others) am/are a little dense about a problem, do they stay patient or just goes "get the f... out of our forums, n00b"?

Extemely patient

You should see some of the hassle some of the vB staff have received in some posts, yet they remain professional.

Same here at vB.org you will always get the best help people can offer.

Its definetly going good so far...Are subforums a stable part of vB 2 or do you use 3?

And can anyone give me some code examples on how a parts of a hack would look like...the problem is that I am going to be the central administrator, I am going to be the one who has to document everything to the letter and I have to make very sure everything is easy for me and my eventual replacements/co-workers.

How about cluttering, is it easy to unclutter areas that might look like there's too much info? and is it easy to add new? (like in the sidebar)

Does vBB have a permission system and user groups which can have set permissions?

How well would vBB fare with 300-500 fora/forums and a large active userbase?

Subforums are in both version and work perfectly.

The code in vB is laid out alot better than PHPBB trust me.

Its just a matter of finding a line, then doing as your told, like add so and so code after it.

Areas that are cluttered with posts/threads etc, can easily be moved via a drop down box when viewing the thread. Areas can be added easily aswell and have many options available when creating them.

vB3 even has password protected forums

Permissions is definetly in vB.

vB would cope better than any other BB board with a huge community

My biggest fears is because the Black Isle forum used to use vBB, but it starting have great problems after some 2 million posts and 60K users, breaking down, lots of errors and so on...their programmers could not fix it and was told that they had to wait until vBB 3 for it to be fixed and that wasn't out, so now they use PHPbb, and so does Interplay who has now taken over the forums.

Is there any way you could show me a code example of an existing hack (just a large block of it), it is very important things are checked out in detail (do not worry, I do not have any pirated boards or anything, and even if I did, a block would do me no good).

Couldn't you make something up or have a code snippet of your own or something?...there's a difference between having something described and seeing it for real.

I'd say PHPBB is better for hacks as there are more of them. A lot of the hacks here don't work and it is really starting to annoy me.
