I just got vBulletin 4.1.1 up and running, but since the main goal with my site is the CMS and not the forum, I'm going to change. I'm confused over Joomla, which version should I pick? After what I've heard Joomla 1.5 will supported for like 1 year from now on, but 1.6 will only be supported for some months before 1.7 comes. And then again, 1.6 do not have many plugins, extentions and themes, while 1.5 have lots of them.
Hello, Most of the extension developers are already releasing Joomla 1.6 version of their product, So its better to go with Joomla 1.6 now, as it has many features better and faster than Joomla 1.5. So if it were my site i would go with Joomla 1.5 And if you want to install extensions whose 1.6 version are not available and you can't go on with that then it's best to go with 1.5 version or else you can contact the developer of the extension and ask him about the status of the 1.6 version of the product.

Yas is right.. joomla 1.5 is widely used and you can find many extensions for this version while joomla 1.6 is not having much but it faster, SEO friendly and many advantages over 1.6.. so choosing from 1.5 and 1.6 depend upon the requirements. if you can find the extensions for 1.6 then go for it otherwise better to stay with 1.5 or you may contact developers to convert 1.5 extensions to 1.6, we can do it for you as well Regards Jameel industechnologies.co itechshop.org
