Has anyone read this book? Building Forums With Vbulletin by K. Kingsley-hughes... - (eBay item 170159856405 end time Nov-16-07 06:12:38 PST)

I'm thininkg about getting it because I'm such a newbie. It's cheap enough. Thoughts?

In my personal opinion, you don't need to read a book or pay for a publication in order to become a good vBulletin administrator. I started working with vBulletin about 5 years ago and you keep learning as you go. Nothing benefits you as an administrator like real experience. Read up the articles on this site, and many others. There are countless, free, forum admin resources scattered across the internet. Take a look and you'll find many.

I've never read that book, but for 8$ it may be worth it for a new user

But I agree that you don't need it, just search around and if you have any questions, you know where to ask

I purchased it a couple of months ago and found parts of it helpful, but noticed it is a bit behind the latest Vbulletin releases. My book has a 2006 Copyright.

You don't need a ebook for this, just keep frequenting vb.org and vbulletinsetup and you will learn each and every thing related to vBulletin.

Good point, I've seen that book for sale for years now, I'm sure it's a bit out dated.

Yes it's outdated, I think it was printed when it was still 3.5.

I might have a digital (pdf) copy of it laying around if anyone wants a copy, I will post here if I find it.

I'm not sure if you want to post it, it may be have a copy write. But I'm interested..PM me if you find it.

+1 on that.

I find it amazing how much I have learnt from vBulletin Setup in my short time as a member. I now login here before I do any work on a site.

the plan is working then
