    I actually love it, everything but the styling part is great.

    Seems to work pretty well... Although we had some scalability issues with certain things, but they are all relatively easy to fix: http://articles.digitalpoint.com/content.php?r=7-Optimize-vBulletin-4

    One thing that is absolutely horrendous with vBulletin 4 (not just Suite) is the search functionality. It's painfully slow, causes massive record locking issues and well... just plain sucks. Unfortunately vBulletin's Sphinx solution isn't that great either. It has issues when creating the indexes (slooow), and some pretty big design issues (it doesn't take into account stuff that's deleted... so deleted stuff is still searchable, it only works with an old version of Sphinx, etc.). For a smallish board the search is probably fine though.

    Thanks for the article...Yeah shawn i was over at Vbulletin and couldnt help laughing when someone suggested that you join their team. Apparently they should have kept some of the old coders....once you get past the bugs ...i think publishing suite is a nice product... We will be adding Sphinx also after a while...
