Suggestion: A reduced number of forums

Why would we even say relatively huge?

We also don't ask for much. If I knew what the vbulletin update did, I would request it. I've asked Guybrush so many times at this point that I'm pretty sure he doesn't know, so it'll remain unrequested.

Basically it's largely not advameg, your ideas are just mid and you need to come to terms with that.

Nice one, Frowns. Here's the PM I sent you a fair while ago:

Hey Frown!

I haven't actually checked (I guess we should), but if I were to guess.. A couple of things I'm sure will be welcome is optimization for mobile screens and better protection against spambots.

I'm also thinking they probably got newish optional features like reactions (or liking posts) and the ability to tag users (and thus notify them). These functions are so common in social media, I'm fairly sure vbulletin developers would include it too.

Support for mobile phone type smilies might be nice.

I'll take a look at a features list later

By all means, don't ever look up the answers to your repeated questions yourself and thanks for handling it in such a classy manner.

Googled it for you:

See f.ex:

Category-leading mobile optimization
The integrated mobile-optimized version ensures smartphone visitors will stay longer and return.

I don't know how much experience GB has with the vB software or even databases for that matter, but it is a bit of a lengthy process, and I'm guessing we're still on 4 or maybe even 3. The most noticeable change for the end user would be better support for mobile devices and tablets.

I didn't find a guess and a promise to research later very helpful.

Sure thing. Maybe you can find someone to do the other things you should be doing too.

**Frownland** · 12-10-2022, 09:23 AM

I'll think about it. Maybe they can help you out with better understanding what you're advocating for as well.
