2dub Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Okay, I'm still w/ VB, but am seriously looking at IPB. There are 2 mods I would need to find which would help me make a decision to jump ship. Post of the Month Mod - I downloaded the post of the month mod from vb.org and it has become pretty popular among my members. I wouldn't want to take that away. Reviews System - My reviews section has become really popular and definitely distinguishes me from my competitors. I'm currently using GARS, but am not 100% satisfied with it. I think this is something I could do in WordPress if needed, but think I'd prefer to have it in the forum. I saw one for IPB 2.X in the community resources section of IPB, but obviously would want to make sure it was up to date. Anybody know where there might be good solutions. Quote
BlaqHQ Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Hi I run both boards vbulletin and IPS I feel IPS is a quality product but I think vbulletin is less expensive with more features and free modes I am finding that IPS just sells the basic forum board then you have to pay for the blog, then pay for ip content , then pay for the gallery, then pay for the downloads. In the long run IPS is way more expensive and hardly nothing is free I thought I was getting the community forum but I found out later that was not the case I like them both but I like vb better I have 3 sites so I am looking to try a 3rd type of forum Vbulletin has more mods which many are free IPS has mods but most require a fee Hope this helps Okay, I'm still w/ VB, but am seriously looking at IPB.

Administrators AWS Posted March 15, 2010 Administrators Posted March 15, 2010 Check out the resources site. I know I have seen a review mod for IPB 3 and I am pretty sure I also seen a post of the month. Quote
2dub Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Check out the resources site. I know I have seen a review mod for IPB 3 and I am pretty sure I also seen a post of the month. What I saw was for version 1.X or 2.x :( I've contacted one IPB developer to make it but he was too busy, if anybody knows of a quality IPB developer let me know. I'd like to get a quote on the custom job. Quote
