In most cases I would agree with you.It's the content that matters, not the window dressing....
In most cases I would agree with you.
But the reality is, there are potential new members who are passing up the forum because of the dated interface. In particular, not being mobile-friendly, which has been pretty standard for several years.
Back Country Gallery just opened a brand new forum, and it is pretty slick. I don't have any idea how much work/money this kind of thing takes to set up, but it would be nice to have this forum truly and fully functional again.

I have stopped using this forum as much as I used to, main reason is that I have issues uploading sometimes.
@jdeg have you thought about updating this forum? Or do you have other plans?

Thanks guys. I managed to break my leg when I forgot that Newtons 1st law DOES apply to me, and a golf cart WILL turn over if you are going to fast and try to turn. I had some metal put in to fix it. I'm able to hobble around on a boot for now.
Regarding the forum software. This version of vBulletin is pretty dated at this point. The newest version is pretty bloated and not terribly attractive for the cost. If I update everything I'm probably going to move things to something like Discourse, which is free and open source. There's a lot of community support behind it too. There's also xenForo, which I've used in the past as well.
In the meantime, I'll get to adding some new forums to reflect the newest camera releases.
