I've looked at the vB ACP and it is definately not user-friendly, it is clearly designed for more power users. Whereas the ACP of IPB is a lot more clearly layed out, one of the things I like about IPB - everything generally's in a logical spot

But isn't IPB so much harder to install mods?
vB you just import some stuff, and then it's done.
IPB you have to edit the source code of certain files.. :S

Okay, I appologize. Apparently, I caught on alot faster than the average user. They do have many great tutorials for vB, though.

Not all modifications require source code edits. IPB now has a components and module system which virtually require no file edits - just upload and run the modification's installer and it's installed.

Of course, the big modifications still require file edits - but tha's expected. It's not possible to not modify the source files if you're installing something big like a user reputation system. Same thing with vB. You can't say vB is all "uploads and your done."

Mybb is just perfect however if you want better then perfect then go for Vb - they are pretty similar but one has just 10% more features.

i sold a mybb forum for $3000 so yeh, its pretty interesting free script which looks great.

(i'm starting a free mybb skins site called FreeMybbSkins.com - if you want free skins then just go to that site near October and you'll find a ton of great Skins )
