    Best Article or CMS for vB/vBSEO?

    I'm looking for something that would work best for vBulletin and especially for vBSEO that I could use for a content management system, mostly for articles and it auto linking new articles on the main page for users to see. Any ideas? I was looking at the madebymary.com stuff (vBNews and articles).

    We are using vBA. However, I cannot recommend it in terms of user friendliness.

    Ahh ok, I'm somewhat wanting to move more towards a cleaner front page. Not so "forum" looking.

    Well - if you do not care much about integrating features from the forum within these pages, you might consider jumping to a completely different CMS altogether (non-vBulletin plugin).

    I think it was designed by programmers for programmers. I think usability should be defined as an interface that someone could figure out in about 15 minutes, if their technical skills were about at the level of "being able to check their email". I think vBA misses the target. But in general, I think the vB admincp needs a lot of work in that department.

    FYI - We (i.e. vBSEO) fall within that same category, which is why we'll be revamping our interface in the next release.

    I think vBA is brilliant, it mimics the vBulletin admin panel usability approach very well, which may explain Joe's opinion on it not being "user friendly", but I see it mostly as a vBulletin fault and not a vBA fault. After all, it's a product for vB and not a stand-alone. I'm not criticising vB's admin controls "user friendliness" either, it's a complex product, and they've done quite a good job in making it "controllable".

    I like the UI for vB... if a person wants to optimize their site then they must learn the product, giving those who arn't so lazy an advantage... then again I can be lazy... LOL

    Mert: I saw vivvo, thanks it looks interesting actually and apparently it looks like you can integrate with vB via a plugin - but i've seen many bad scripts out there that "integrate" with vB... example phpfox...

    That's true. Being non-lazy will always be a competitive advantage in any category!

    I don't know about the integration level however the script itself looks very promising. I will definately give it a go within 2-3 weeks.

    At this time I consider the best CMS, it is Open Source and it is FREE
