There is another portal for vB! It is called MKPortal

[cinq]

If you had a website/script/product/whatever related to vBulletin, you'd post at boards using vb or have some discussion on vb, no ?

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.

No no I do agree sharing is fine I am just expressing my views

It seems like a big push and abit spammy esp when the messages are very closely related.

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.

Thanks for the reply but your general acusation of me "spamming on every site you visit" is mistated and not fact. I posted avout the portal on vB sites as well as my own. I guess since it does not have the backing of vB staff and the two letters vB int the portal name it does not get endorsed?
cinq, thank you for your reply, but it seems this new portal does not have a place with vB since the staff at vB are not part of it.
*Word to the wise for anyone in future, DO not not post about anything that vB staff does not approve of or is not part of.

Feel free to delete this thread as it was meant to be helpfull, but since vB staff feels it is spam.. remove this.
I'm done.

the vB staff only approves of vbulletin, they don't support any hacks, so your words don't make sense.

vbadvanced is not endorsed by vbulletin either

[Zachery]

As eva01 says, we do not officaly endorse any third party scripts.

The fact that i work with Brian and with vBa is a long standing fact that started way before I was invovled with jelsoft.

I did not say specificly it is spam, I just said it was spammy.

I did not mean to attack you specificly C_P just inform you

[C_P]

Says it all. I never said vB "officially endosed" any of those portals. I said what I said and it seems there are people here that would rather be negative about a new offering rather than looking into and accepting and offering constructive critisism. The portal may not be perfect but it is a new offering out there and as I said, I've used many and like this new one.
You all can continue your negative comments about this portal if you wish or remove this thread. As I said, I am done about this. Find your own portals, I will not offer up mkportal to anyone looking for one in the future, at least not on these vB sites. Thanks for opening my eyes on this, I guess I should have listened to meo who told e not to bother with telling people about this portal as it would not be accepted by vB crowd.

just based this from what i read.

As Zachery as already explained he was a staff member at vBadvanced before he was a staff member at Jelsoft. If you were to browse the Jelsoft staff's postings at vBulletin.com you'd see that all of them, including Zachery, make it very clear that not only is there no Jelsoft supported hack but in fact installing any portal that modifies any of the vBulletin code or tables, including vBadvanced CMPS, nullifies your ability to get official support.

[eva01_]

yet they still give support for most cases with hacked forums, just not with issues directly caused by the hack, so that is good of them.

Critisism gose both ways, I pointed out what I did'nt like about it. Others did to, some even said they liked it. The problem with these scripts is that everyone has seen everything they do many times.

There is no more 'wow' factor, when that gose away people start pointing out what they don't like more often then what they do.

I am not the type of person to use your basic CMS or portal. This is why I have had to write my own script for content managment. I could never find one that could suit my needs, it looks like you have, good for you, your one of the few
