Message: <blockquote data-quote="RocketCowboy" data-source="post: 608035" data-attributes="member: 25095">I hear you on the concern.Maybe it's my background as a former vbulletin owner/admin as well, but as has been mentioned, vbulletin is genetically an Internet forum software and getting a bit dated at that. It doesn't natively offer a gallery function, so the team here has found add-on software to add that feature. The problem is, as with a lot of add-on software, it depends on someone else to maintain it and modify it as Internet standards evolve. Where Flash used to be the preferred tool for a lot of things, html5 has replaced that and modern browsers make flash more difficult to work with. Most members here seem to already have personal sites, flickr, smugmug, or other online galleries for hosting images, so the primary focus with Nikonites is to create a community and include basic features like the blog and galleries for members who haven't taken that plunge yet. The site isn't intended to compete with WordPress and Zenfolio, but to provide a stepping stone as members go that direction, IMO.I think the feedback is great, as there's been talk that jdeg is looking into other forum software to replace vbulletin, so these suggestions are things that can be weighed in to the decision, as much as the intent and focus of the website.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
