Re: [Springframework-developer] I hate the forum

[Pavel T. <pa...@ts...>]

Please stay away from vBulletin.

I help maintain a couple of websites, some running vBulletin 3 (and vBPortal,
and PHPGallery), and some running phpBB2. From a user-perspective, the
experience is almost identical between the two forums and vBulletin has been a
nightmare for me from a admin point of view.

What I did like quite a lot was this: http://www.phpbbfm.net.

Just my 2c. I'm not against commercial software, but in this case it just
doesn't deliver in my experience.

Best regards,
Pavel
