Lol, that's actually pretty accurate! We started out in the late '90s with a &quot;demo&quot; version of UBB Classic, which I hacked to pieces to gain the functionality of the licensed version...after a few years of that and seeing my coding free-time decrease after the birth of kid #2 I opted for a licensed version of UBB Classic. Then came the php/MySQL boon and we jumped to UBB Threads.

UBB has served us well for over a decade, and while the latest update is lagging due to the death of one of the owners/developers, the project has been picked up and reinvigorated, and I truly believe that UBB will regain the prominence it knew not that long ago. And, I'm not hearing much good in the developer/admin world about vBulletin 4+ and it's new owners (Internet Brands), so for now my vote is to stay put.

I do hear some good things about Tapatalk (one advantage is all of your forums are in one locale), but most of it is from the user end versus the admin end, as it has had issues with security...the more plugins, the more conflicts during upgrades/revisions/etc. I could be wrong, but I actually think the trend in the future will be toward mobile themes/stylesheets versus add on mobile apps, that way everything is still tucked behind the security of the forum software itself versus relying on the app developer to stay ahead of the security curve with updates. Again, I may be wrong about that...

[btw, my opinion in *no way* represents those of the new management, or major league baseball!]

Bruce,
have you tried tapatalk on V8 ? It is SOOO much easier then trying to wade through on a small phone screen. I'll show you this week If I run into you in Scottsdale .
