Created page with "Vanilla was initially recommended by Anthony: I initially recommended vanilla based on polling my coworkers. I work at a company that converts large sites off of their current..."

New page

Vanilla was initially recommended by Anthony:

I initially recommended vanilla based on polling my coworkers. I work at a company that converts large sites off of their current platforms and onto ours.
Most of the conversions are away from vbulletin with phpbb in preparation. My coworkers have done a lot of research on the question but I myself can only say
I don't like vbulletin or phpbb very much based on the many random forums I've read that use them. Vanilla seems better written so far
but I haven't seen it nearly as much of course.
Anyway, if there's anything super-critical that's missing, I could probably write it.

Vanilla seems to be more modular and easy to administer / customize. Here's an excerpt from http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/13239/phpbb-vs.-vforums/p1:

Vanilla has Smilies and Signatures as add-ons. I have used phpBB before and I can say Vanilla is much easier to theme and customize.
There are some features you might be missing or see as must have, but its nothing a couple of moments of PHP scripting could not fix.
The best bet would be to download it and try it out on a test subdomain. You will be surprised, I know I was...

ive used phpbb extensively in the past, and hands down vanilla is the better choice. like adrian said, give it a try
and let us know what you think
