vbulletin 3.8 admincp styles, only 30 topics in thread?

[Brad Padgett]

I've noticed strange behavior on the site recently.

Now how does a software over 10 years old have 30 topics for themes in one of the forums? I find this very odd.

Also I'd like to notice the vbulletin 5 styles only have around 20 topics?

For a community of this size, either people are skimming the site without a thought of contribution or there is something wrong with your database.

Do you possibly think the site has been tampered with. I'm being serious.

AdminCP styles aren't very common since it's only a visual thing for the backend.

vBulletin 5 isn't really popular. It's also a waste for modders/coders to make a vBulletin 5 style while vBulletin still changes things around in almost every new version, it's just too much work to update the style every time. (And besides that, given the fact that almost every vBulletin 5 forum looks the same, it seems that there's not a lot you can do modding wise.)

I do see where you're coming from though, those sections looks dead and outdated.

It is really very very bad from Vbulletin code perspective that every experienced/new coder/designer hates the same....
Dave.. not opposing your post, but VB5..

You're comparing apples to oranges. As the title suggests, vB3.8 Admin CP styles are for the Admin CP. The backend of the software. I have never quite understood why anyone would bother to style the backend, which practically no one ever sees. You obviously missed the vB3.8 styles forum with > 400 threads. And you also missed that there are other forums for 3.6 and 3.7, making your ten years argument somewhat shaggy

There's almost no styles for vB5 for the same reason there are almost no addons for vB5. There's a lot of threads on the "quality" of that piece of software...
