Added benefits of changing from simple machine to vbulletin?

Asked By brian crow 0 points N/A Posted on - 11/20/2012

Hello,

I have been using Simple Machine forum software up until now. Would like to know the added benefits of changing into vBulletin to justify the cost.

Also please state whether I would be able to import my previous posts users and other important details from  simple machine to vBulletin.

Thanks.

There is a lot of difference between vBulletin and simple machine forum software. 

vBulletin has various options and is much easier to handle. vBulletin is worth the cost. vBulletin setup is very easy when compared to others like phpbb.

Do try out the demo on the vBulletin website to get a good idea about vBulletin.

vBulletin is no doubt better than Simple Machine forum software. The main thing is the interface of vBulletin which is excellent. Secondly modifying and upgrading vBulletin is easy.

According to research vBulletin is much secured because you are paying for the license and it is their responsibility to make your forum secure.

And yes you can import all of your previous data from Simple Machine forum to vBulletin.

You can visit vBulletin manual and it will help you out to import data.
