Board Look and Feel

The software application Court TV uses for offering this free community of chaos is vBulletin. A popular and powerful software application with features that are available anywhere but at Court TV's board. Scaled back and lacking updates; several features have been 'turned off'. An appropriate phrase for the members! Some of the modern features on most any other message board apparently have been deemed to complicated or costly by the corporate giants that bring us: People Magazine, Sports Illustrated, HBO, Warner Bros, Turner Broadcasting, AOL and many more money takers. (see the Time Warner link for a list)

What you will find is a grey and white color scheme with outdated limited icons selections, and features such as calendars, atvars, signatures, attachments, emails, event reminders and more GONE. Why are they missing? Is their hardware is so minimal the system crashes and freezes when even the most basic features are used? Is the administration or system support so unskilled they can not support this application? These are questions only Court TV / TW could tell us for sure.

Suffice it to say, Like it or Lump it! Unlike the new
Court TV television makeover, do not expect the value of customers to flow over into message board life.
