That's Bruces (Admin) email addy not the Moderator's (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) which has no email contact listed or, are you saying they are one and the same. I thought the idea of the Mod was to take the pressure of the Admins and provide assistance when they might not be available.

Thank you, I was trying to think of a "Nice" way to put that.

My own preference would be to switch to something like vBulletin - dead cheap, fully featured - all the features we want plus more. I've put this on the table to be measured against going with an updated version of the current software - expensive and from what I can see offers no more than the cheaper alternatives.

Against that is the fact that we have just one programmer (Jim), and it would likely be quicker and easier to stay with the current platform (we'd have to write import routines for the DB, for example if we switched platforms).

These issues are currently being thrashed out.

Oh :(, I Guess that VB does not have any ready made converters/import routines for the Jive Forum software ?

273549 2004-09-20 02:58:00 Why pay for something like VBulliten, when things like phpBB and phpNet (Based on phpBB, but with some really nifty things added)? Yes, they're both open source, and the server software they need to run is open source too (PHP, MySQL and Apache) Megaman (344)
273550 2004-09-20 03:17:00 I just had a quick gander at the Jive website and forum and the latest software doesnt really seem all the different to what we've already got. I agree with Megaman why not use something like phpBB or phpNet? Pete O'Neil (250)

Like I say, my preference isn't to continue to use Jive, but I'm just one opinion in the process .
