In reality, it may not be so.<br /><br />Late last month (March) I decided that it would, for some reason, be a good idea to move my forum to another software. My thinking was that once it got big, if ever, that there would be problems. My thinking into the situation way too far, brought me to executing this move.<br /><br />I won't go into full details on what  brought me back to the light of YaBB but will say that in the end, it's quite simple. Those other forums might install easier and may have easier modification but YaBB has them eating smoke when it comes to features such as template skinning and the ever so awesome backup feature!<br /><br />I started my forum in late 2007. From what I hear about older versions of YaBB and what I've experienced with the versions that I have worked with, YaBB has come a long way and I believe will continue to improve in the years to come.<br /><br />If someone is thinking of switching away from YaBB, take more time investigating the complete situation before pulling the trigger. I only wish my firing pin was broken when I did. <img src="http://www.yabbforum.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" /><br /><br />Mervin,<br />Segnette.com<br /> http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1336413209/0#0 YaBB Chat and Support Community/Talk It Up! http://www.yabbforum.com/community/YaBB.pl?num=1336413209/0#0 Mon, 7 May 2012 17:53:29 GMT Here's a useful and instructive Guide on Getting Online support.

It only takes a few seconds of your time when it has possibly taken the person helping you hours looking into your problem.<br /><br />Manners go a long way and it shows your appreciation and encourages members who do take the time to give support to carry on doing so.<br /><br />A slightly discouraged Derek.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.yabbforum.com/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" title="Cry" />
