Hi,

We are working on a project that can't move forward until we have found an installer/programmer/support individual who can:

1. Install a new vbulletin board; optimize bandwidth use per help tips; configure forms to eliminate unnecessary fields, etc.
2. Install and configure current hacks that we request;
3. Troubleshoot and fix/repair as necessary
4. Customize as necessary -- especially with layout of message board and threads within an area. We would like to emulate some of discus' layout/thread presentation.
5. Supply on-going support and maintenance as requested on a "by-the-hour" basis. We might need no help for a year; then need 10 hours of support the next month.
6. Perform upgrades when necessary

Prefer someone who has extensive understanding of vb; and has spent time working within its code.

This is not a "high dollar" project as it will be for a free board. However, we understand that whoever is chosen wants to be compensated for his time at a reasonable rate and we understand this.

Payment via paypal.

Please respond (privately preferred) indicating your experience with vb and estimates of what you intend to charge - either by project segment or by the hour.

Thank you.

Vincent]lmao you're pretty stupid to hire someone to do this. It takes about 5 minutes to install a vB and only takes a few minutes for each hack, it doesn't take a genius for it. Each hack comes with instructions and there's instructions for installation on www.vbulletin.com . And then if you need any extra support for fixing crap you just have to post your problem here on on vb.com.

[D]Vincent, your remarks were inappropriate and uncalled for. In the future if you can't show some respect for people, then don't bother posting.

Of course, it's hard to respond privately if you don't enable email or PM on your account.

JoshFink ... than you for your informative post! Apparently, since I have not purchased the software yet ... I'm not a "real" member of the board and as such I can't use the pm feature ... rather strange set up actually.

But my address is custsrvcrep9@hotmail.com .... Thank you.

*cough* &choke& $weez$ ...

Gosh, I don't know. Lets look at this from a different perspective.

1. I am posting in "pre-sales questions" regarding a software package that is sold -- not provided free.

2. As part of my "pre-sales question" -- I need to know if there is anyone out there who is interested in performing the work we need to install and configure this software ... as we don't know how and don't have an interest in learning.

Ok, so lets sum it all up -- in order for us to purchase this software (this is the point - correct -- vbulletin does want to sell its software -- or did I miss that one as well??) ... in order for us to purchase, we need to know if we can hire someone to do the job.

So if advertising to hire someone to install the program is "against the rules" ... what do you suggest we do?

And by the way, I couldn't find any such rules -- not saying they don't exist, but I couldn't find them.

I'm trying to coordinate services so I can make a purchase and move on with our project ... is this thread really bothering you that much? Must be a slow day in the cyberworld ...


You know folks ... One message referred to me as being "not so smart" because we didn't want to install/configure this ourselves; then we have this post suggesting that advertising to hire someone install/configure this post is against the rules.


Maybe someone can enlighten me about all of this if I am so far off-base .... I thought that a professional level messaging software would gladly want to encourage companies to purchase and install its software -- without being required to learn about it ... We purchase software all the time that we don't install or maintain it -- that is not part of our core business.


Still smiling ....

I'm not sure why custsrvcrep's request is being treated with such disdain. IMO this really doesn't speak well for this community. :(

I have to agree with Steve here.
Like, what did someone put in everyones breakfast today?

If my day had about 48 hours in it, I would be more than happy to assist.

Thank you all ...

We have purchased a license and hired someone for the install and customization of vb, photopost and a variety of hacks.

Thank you.

Could someone tell me how much that charge for design? I am going to be getting my license sometime today. I am going to need some designs for the forum. I can install the hacks but my designs are crap. My email address is: DarkShogun2003@aol.com

I don't think he was trying to be mean.. just, putting it differently then how everyone else wanted to state. everything isn't apples and oranges

I agree w/ Vincent. that's why we have vb forums (to get assistance), as well as vb.org (for further assistance for different things we toy with/add to our sites). hell, all the money that goes into purchasing vb, domain, host.. why in the hell would someone wanna pay MORE to someone.. when it's clearly in the instructions, or even in FAQ's, or even on these boards. If you made a vbulletin, you obviously have to know something or other.. correct? just my .02 cents :)

Clearly to you is not clearly to others. Everyone has their own level of expertise and just because they have the money to buy the software does not mean they have the knowledge to install all the hacks. It's not as easy as you make it out.

nooo.. you got me all wrong..

when signing up for a vbulletin, let's just say.. you obviously gotta realize your gonna have to modify config and all that. I'm not saying that installing one of the 'hacks' is easy. but I will say, that majority.. of the people that are on vb.. know a little something

custsrvcrep if you need any assistance feel free to contact me... i will help you to the best of my knowledge... ;)

I agree with Smachol that saying such things makes the vbulletin.org community look bad... if you can't say something nice then don't say anything... when you first installed vbulletin were you a pro right from the start? I certainly wasn't and if i got that kinda attitude then i certainly wouldn't want to buy the software...

my regards...
