Well, i have changed everything I can change on this forum. I have changed files, I have changed settings in the database, I have changed settings in teh admincp (the back end of this forum), and nothing has worked. Not sure why. I only have one choice now, and even though the double posting stops (which seems like it's picking up here lately), there are other small bugs.
However, the articles section is there, the blogs are there. Just like they are here. And teh way the forum works, just works... What do you guys think I should do? Over the last 1.5 weeks, I have spent about 120 hours on this issue, and I have gotten no where. do you think we should just suck it up and move to teh new vbulletin software and run with it?

Oh the irony...
Given the quick retreat back to this software, I would not make a hasty move to vb5. Run it fully through it's paces with the help of the staff and other guinea pigs. Double posts are annoying, but people can live it for another week while testers beat on the test forum.
But, as always, up to you.

If I could do anything, I would go back to 4.2.1. That version was flawless and worked perfectly. But that is not an option. You cna only move forward with vbulletin. And 5.0.1 just sucks. It's slow, buggy, signatures don't work, if you start doing a long post, it does funky stuff, the list goes on and on and on and on...
As for hiring someone from the outside, there is way too much work. It would cost thousands to get this forum where I want it. and if I"m going to spend thousands for someone to "fix" the forum, might as well just code us a brand new forum that is proprietary to Rc-Help ONLY. But again, thousands...

They are "supposed" to get it to function properly. But, since 5 has come out, they pretty much gave up on 4, which this forum is on. And 5 is not much better, but I did purchase it just to test. All in all, I tossed about $400 down the drain on two different software's for this forum to try and correct the issue and give the forum more functionality. I failed at both, but I'm not giving up. We are still actively testing VB5 trying to find the bugs in it and fix them. But, they are beyond even the scope of tech support at this time. So it will be a while longer...

Deal with issues here, or deal with the issues on VB5... that is the question. However, on VB5, I know they are working on the issues... VB4, they have given up on... Guess the logical choice is to just move to VB5 and correct the issues as they come. I'm tired of chasing my tail with teh issues we have here.
