PHPbb vs. vBulletin

[Link14716]

Whether it will/has a language pack out is unknown (unless it already has one released), however, you can easily translate it via the Admin CP (might take a while though).

Some questions that pops up:

1. Can you create supermoderators? ie. moderators that by default has moderator powers everywhere and to some extent a few admin powers as well?, is that what they call "mini-admins" just the other way around?

2. How complicated is the back-up restore facility?, how would it feasibly be done if you a 400+ Mb DB?

*everything* can be translated in the admin cp?

[Link14716]

Yes, *everything* can be easily translated using the Phrase Manager in the Admin CP.

Super Moderators are a default usergroup in vBulletin.

Is there anyway to prevent spiders from indexing your forum and getting your posts on search engines?

[Lord Chaos]

Oh and can a default language be set to forum, so everyone gets it in that language by default, but can switch away from it in their user cp?

Yes.

Is there anyway I can get to try out a test forum?

vBulletin.com has a test vbulletin 2 up but as far as vbulletin 3 goes there is no test. And there are no free downloads.

The test forum will be updated to vB3 when vB3 Final is released IIRC.
