Hmm, good question. I wasn't here when we converted the site in the past. Does anyone know if it was VB before?

The board has never been VB since I joined. It was Invision who gave us hassle about the verifieds.

This is correct, it was something to do with where and/or how it was hosted.

But we would need to make sure the same thing wouldn't be an issue with VB.

I don't like the idea of the threaded replies, I've seen that sort of thing elsewhere and it can get very annoying. That format can also be difficult to follow sometimes, since replies to replies can appear before chronologically earlier replies to the original thread.

To give an idea of what that can mean you can get the following scenario, where the letters indicate chronological order.

a
ab
abc
ad
ade

If someone then posts another reply to b you would get

a
ab
abc
abf
ad
ade

This may be ok for boards where most people are only occasional visitors, but trying to follow a rapidly expanding topic can be a nightmare. Is this how the VB board works? If so it will be a disaster here.
