From VbAdvanced

VBadvanced CMPS (Content Management & Portal System) is an advanced portal / content management system that will allow you to easily include different elements from your vBulletin message board on your web site's homepage. It also allows you to easily create and manage new pages in which you can set different settings other than the default. It's module system also makes it very easy to add custom modules without hacking any of the files, plus it is very easy to integrate with other vBulletin pages and hacks. Everything is also template based and completely integrated with vBulletin, so it is very easy to customize and change everything through your Admin CP.

A portal page is like something that shows different things about your forum, like the newest updates, user cp, polls, calendar, etc. A good example is vbadvanced.

Personally I prefer content sites as opposed to portals, but that's just me.

EDIT: james beat me, i had the reply window opened too long

Its a portal to your forum. A place to get a collection of information on your forum on one page.

I really wouldn't call it a pain to install, just an unnescessary addon. Most sites (including mine) simply use the forum index as the main page and don't bother with the vBulletin CMPS, although with the new plugin system I don't see it being too hard to install, but to me, the actual portal is more complicated and generally unnescesary

Cori, I must say you do the portal right. There are a lot of sites that don't update them or the do put good content in them. You should be proud of it.
