The in-section sponsors don't show up (except for w-i-d-e banner ones).

Looking good, working fine for me. I like the different options, as it makes it more of our personal site. What are the appereance customization options going to be?
Let us know if the stuff loads faster (when it happens).
Yeah we don't need the rating column.
Site will be faster, but it might take a day or two to make some changes.

Its loading decently fast for me, its been up and down in the last few minutes. I have gotten a server busy message a couple times, but oh well. I applaud yall for getting it running as quick as you did. And with all of the options and customization that has been implimented already, yall must be working hard.

At this point we've sampled them, all, we started out on UBB.Classic and maxed that out, and then went to UBB.Threads out of brand loyalty. That conversion was in hindsight pretty awful. UBB.Threads was super raw and a lot of the default values made the board slower than a 1996 AOD Mustang Convertible with a 2.73 gear pulling a personal watercraft.
So here we are, we swam sideways for a while but gave in and got VBulletin. Here are some initial comments about it so far...
-Control panel much easier to use and navigate
-Much better swap from UBB.Classic then the swap to UBB.Threads
-Our Admin likes the underlying programming a lot more
-Initially slower than we hoped
-May force us to make a server upgrade again even though we have been only been on our own server for less than six months
-Saw the most number of folks on the board at any one point this afternoon
Please bear with us. We love the community and want to the site to be as fast a 427ci superstroker.

Talks great but does not know much about computers

Brains,
If you could can you make the buttons at the very top a little bigger that way for those of us running 1600x1200 can click one at a time. I know sooner or later I'm gunna click two or click the wrong one. Also I would like to have the Administrative colors back. Before when I saw that an administrator was posting I knew it was probably something serious and not just some more bs.

Oh yeah another problem is the fact that all old threads are set in the old language so if you try to go to them everything that is posted just has the URL and a bunch of mumbo jumbo. Makes it really hard to read. Not of high importance right now but would be nice to be fixed later on down the road.

A lot of the old threads will be moved to a read-only, searchable archive format. That will gain us a monumental performance increase for the new posts, where people spend most of their time.
I'll bring back highlighted/colored Administrator/Moderator usernames, since it appears you folks liked those
Avatars are making a comeback, once we get the big-deal stuff (performance, and getting people logged in) done.
Button sizes - we'll be replacing those at some point, and definitely try to find the happy medium for low and high resolution users.
