Finally Found the Forum and this is IT?

I must have cruised over this setup countless times not even thinking this could be the forum...

Well, I hate to whine but CNET rocks and I figured you would have a much better forum setup? I find it a bear to navigate and frankly a huge disappointment.

I dunno why you guys can't use Vbulletin and have something....

I prefer this style to any other forums I use or have used.

Strange isn't it, how people differ.

Looking at the vbulletin site, there seem to be several 100 thousand posts of inquiry regarding its operation as opposed to a handful for this CNet ''Jive'' forum system:

CNet is using another system format with its GameSpot Forums that was also presented to the members here for review and comment in the CNet/ZDNet forum before the current 'Jive' system was implemented.

Well I've thought about it and I can understand why people would prefer this forum "style."

IMO, this style is fast paced and most efficient for simple statements.

Vbulletin is more interactive, personalized and more in depth. I guess its a "STYLE" ... er... thing Happy

To find a "vbulletin forum" simply tipe in what I just quoted. Make sure you see in HTML not just script and enjoy. I think it makes a "Better PERSONAL" experience.

Thanks for all the input Wink
