    Why is this forum not vbulletin style?

    This is the best techinal forum for corvettes. Why is it not Powered by vBulletin?

    This type of forum page is hard to read and hard to search and is not organized into different years.

    I like it just the way it is......there are other Corvette forums that are far more difficult to navigate.

      I agree with Rick. That other popular forum software is a step backwards IMHO.

          I agree! I frequent 4/5 forums and I like this format the best.

            All------

            I DEFINITELY AGREE, too. In my opinion, this is absolutely the best format EVER devised for a discussion board. The other newer formats have all sorts of "features" most of which most folks never use. However, in the process of providing all these "features" the format becomes so complicated and cumbersome that one gets frustrated and just gives up on the whole thing. This format is very simple, straight-forward, and supremely easy to navigate.

            I don't even visit most of the other Corvette discussion boards for this very reason (and, a few other reasons, too). Long live this format!

              I agree. New and improved isn't always better. I dislike most of the new software formats on the other boards.

                This forum style works for this group. The only thing I could think to add would be a "new posts" option so we could click to all the new posts instead of scroll to the new posts.

                Other sites like the Corvette Forum that allow posters the ability to add all that crap like pictures and "biography's" of their cars to their signatures has totally turned me off to those sites and they have dropped from my favorites list. I rarely go there anymore.

                    My question would be what will happen to all the information on this board if at some point we are forced to change software?

                    From a broad point of view there is a lot of first person Corvette knowledge in the archive files. Where will it be 10/25/50/100 years from now? Or will anyone care? Does anyone care?

                    Just questions. I do not have the answers.

                      When were gone ( old guys) to the big Corvette junk yard in the sky most Corvettes will go by the way the model T to 40's cars =( hot rods) it's already happening with many C1's.

                        I hope not! I just bought a 1954 that will be worth $7 milion when I retire. LOL
