Yes but there's the rub.

I have been a Photopost licensee since 2003 because it was recommended by and worked fine in vbPortal. The same is true with Classifieds and Reviewpost which we recently licensed and have not yet turned on for our members.

Now it would appear that vbPortal may never develop beyond it's current version and we have little confidence that salvaging six years of photo and content accumulation will be of much concern to the vBulletin folks. So we are looking to switch portals in hopes that we will then be able to continue to evolve in an orderly fashion without totally disrupting our site.

As your customer, we had an expectation of vBulletin compatibility and we also had an expectation of continued compatibility with our CMS software. It may not be a problem of your making but it is a problem nonetheless in which your software is highly involved. We are seeking a solution to replacing our CMS which has, in all likelihood reached the end of its development. The response I get from vbAdvanced is that they cannot provide a solution to integrating your applications for "legal reasons". But I'm just a customer that is being placed in a situation of nothing but bad choices.

So whatever your feelings are about the extent of your claims, the bottom line is that I'm faced with no good options and end up the loser. Yes, all I want is for the vbAdvanced left column blocks to show up in the same way that the vbPortal ones currently do. I will check in the Mod Corner but previous searches haven't panned out very well.

Is there any other CMS available that would be a solution worth looking at?
