i am tired of chasing down problems with phpnuke.

i am learning cms to make my life easier... i thought.

with all the problems surrounding FB's way of doing things and
the inherent problems with new versions of phpnuke....

WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE JUST GO TO POSTNUKE ?

i keep wondering this. i am ready to give up on phpnuke, but
what next? considering all pros and cons what are the best options?

please support answers with reasons or justifications.

thanks.

I'm not going to play with CMS is better. It really depends on your needs.

is a good place to go to test them

I stick with phpNuke because of the great community, not because FB's releases.

Look at it a different way: why would people using PHP-Nuke want to go to PostNuke? Even better, why would you? Maybe you have valid answers to those questions. But as Evaders99 said, there are advantages and disadvantages to using every CMS.

Testing them is a great way to see their functionality, but unfortunately, that doesn't help answer other questions that are critical to selecting a CMS like:

How well is it supported?
How frequently is it updated?
How secure is it?
What addons (modules, themes, tweaks, etc.) are available? (this is particularly critical when using opensourcecms, which has the base, unpatched, unimproved PHP-Nuke)

If you compare RavenNuke76 to other CMS scripts, you might get a different result than using the unpatched, unsecured PHP-Nuke 7.6+.
