Top forum software Excellent and clean software. Would highly recommend.

bad reviews for vbulletin means it was… bad reviews for vbulletin means it was too advanced for the posted lol.

Great! This forum software was just absolutely brilliant for my new company. It provided everything I wanted even more!

Wasnt the best, but now its amazing When vbulletin5 first released in like 2012.. it was TERRIBLE Full of bugs, and extremely slow However 10 years later, the product is SOOOO much better, most bugs are gone, and its alot more stable and smoother, its probably the best forum software I have used, and I would urge others to use it, they have done alot to turnaround the buggy product, and now its probably the most polished software out there. Support is amazing, and the software is amazing. Thanks to the vb5 team!

Poorly Written Software Causes Many Many Duplicate Content Issues VBulletin basically does the job of a forum software, but leaves issue undetected at first, that should be revealed before purchasing. Most of the issue cannot be seen by the general public, as they are hidden in the password protected user area. None of their software will validate via the W3, which to me, clearly means that the programmers are not concerned with testing their software to make sure it is written to standards and does not contain basic underlying errors. Much much worse, is that the forum produces page after page of duplicate content, because every page can be addressed in many ways. Your Google webmaster tools account will very shortly be filled with duplicate Title tags and Duplicate Descriptions and there is literally nothing you can do about it. VBulletin's response was to create a new version 5, instead of fixing the issues with version 4 first. To their credit, they do seem to be continuing to work on V4. The support team seems to be working hard to try and help, but they do not appear to be supported by the programmers, so any issue that has any type of complexity to it, will not be solved. At least that has been my experience. If VBulletin were cheap software, I would not complain to much, but it is quit expensive, so you would think it would be very well written as such. Unfortunately it is programmed more like cheap software, with obvious and seriously written flaws. I cannot recommend VBulletin, nor can I advise against it, since I cannot recommend any other software that might be better, although I would think there would be. Should you decide to purchase, be aware of the duplicate content issues, that you will face. I would run any of there forum pages through the W3 validator, so you can get a feel for the quality or lack there of, also.
