Don't rat on AT. This is a new revision, let them work the kinks out. I really like the last version of fusetalk. I personally use phpbb though, since it is free.

The first time I saw it I was all like 'OMG TEH NOES', but after using the mod-dissaproved .css file to get rid of most of the junk, I'm much happier. Now my biggest complaints are the new images. They's on the large side, and a bit less professional than they were before.

Mods, have a :beer: for your hard work and don't let all the negative crap get to you.

I don't think the mods really have much to do w/ how the site is made. That is all done by the ppl at Anandtech.

Well, Admin, or Jason, or whomever takes care of all this stuff: thanks. Also, I just realized that the huge folder icons that were bugging me are now small. Woot! I don't think the 'my forums' page is working right though...

i think you guys dwell on this crap too much. all you do is click buttons and type, no matter what the tech. whats the difference other than looks?

go outside, or is the current version of "the outside world" not to your liking?

vb3 all the way. Stuntlife.com was the first major motorcycle board to use it...i've loved it since!

I also recommend vB3. I am working now on setting up a forum using it. So much stuff to customize, and if you know PHP/MySQL, you can really do almost anything you need to do with it. Well worth the price.

For a forum this size, I'd say FuseTalk is the best choice.

vB 3 is REALLY nice though and well worth every penny.

You need to calm down. There are dozens of different forum technologies out there, people cant' have a favorite?
