Need Help choosing forums software . . .

[Russ H]

Hi all,

I've just been asked to join the PAII Advisory Council (kinda like a board of directors for the largest innkeeping association in the world). Quite an honor.

My first task is to bring their forums up to speed, so I need to learn about forums software.

MJ, I know you have a LOT of experience here, so any tidbits you can pass on would be hugely appreciated.

And any others out there who have experience working w/the software-- I'd LOVE your feedback!

Please PM me if there is anything of a sensitive nature you don't want to share w/everyone, and I'll keep it confidential.

I've already spent some time on the vbulletin site-- what kind of expenses am I looking at?

Thanks to all in advance for any info you can provide. :banana:

-Russ H.
