Unless your 3.7 mods take advantage of a specific feature in that version, your 3.6 mods probably work perfectly fine. The only 3.7 specific mod that I have installed is the Welcome Headers one because the new Notices feature completely changed how it works. There was no reason to upgrade any others simply because the version changed in vBulletin.

The release system could probably use an update here so people get an accurate representation of downloads and installs. Instead of having mods in different forums allow sorting by version than authors can provide a minimum version and maximum vBulletin that the mod version works with. When they update it for a new version of vBulletin, they can specify that vbplugin 1.36 works with vB 3.8+. etc...

Would make it a lot easier to find things if you can filter not only by type of mod but the version of vBulletin you are using. Could even apply the version filter automatically using a user profile field.

I do this all the time if I see a mod that I want to investigate further. Yeah, I can tag mods but the interface is convoluted and difficult to use. I don't want to go into a form, scan it, select the option I want and then submit the form. I just want to click a link "Tag Modification". This link isn't offered so I click install instead. Gives me what I want. When I am done investigating the mod, I click uninstall if it doesn't fit my needs. Most of the time I don't even download it.

As mentioned elsewhere, the "Tag" option will be added to the main mod options similar to the install option, so it will be more obvious and easier to use.

[OFFTOPIC]Yes the tag option is a bit hard to find,I was looking for it a long time,then I noticed it in the release options.[/OFFTOPIC]

Just my two cents for what it isn't worth:p

My experience with vb.com forum was terrible. Very nasty people. Heaven forbid you have a legit complaint and post it online there, even in the most courteous of ways. The vb regulars (vampires) will suck the life out of you with nasty returns. It got to the point where I wanted to ask some of them if they had a life outsite of VB. LOL Of course, I re-read my post many times and couldn't comprehend this vial nonsense so I thought maybe it was me. I asked about ten people, one of who is the owner of one of the largest VB skin sites out there and he said he rarely goes there anymore because of this same problem. So maybe people are just tired of the nonsense over there? I don't know?

To be quite honest and please be nice. I think vb's forum is too big and they have lost control of it to some extent.

I haven't found this same problem here though, even with the large amount of traffic. Most that I've dealth with seem quite civil, even in the lounge and talking politics. LOL

Have a Thanksgiving everyone.

wrong forum!:D

ok well I tried. LOL

you mean vb.com? :)

yup fixed it. My bad:)

no, check out vbulletin.org forum home https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

the record most people is yesterday, and ofcourse there will be bigger and bigger people using vb

less people using vb?

No, because it's the best. :D

I think its because of the following reasons:
1. The quality of the mods has dropped significantly (or is it my idea? Don't shoot)
2. Less people create new forums, as they prefer other types of sites. Forums close every day, so the amount of people having a forum at any given time is dropping.
3. vBulletin (and some other forum software brands, but that's not our topic) looks very old-fashioned compared to other web apps.

I simply don't understand why Deviant Art's Forums are sooo better and civil :(

Oh yes that is the main reason I guess.Good point Michelle.

My forum was hacked twice, both times thank to some nice & candy coloured mod. As far as I know there were scripts available on the net for scriptkiddies to break into each vB installation containing specific mod.
If you posted "thanks" inside the mod thread, the visit of scriptkiddies was guaranteed.

So I don't install mods which allow entering text / attachments.
Actually I don't install any new mods anymore... Interesting how many other vB users share same experiences with me.

Hi everyone :)
I have used VB since 3.6.3 version, and run on 3.7.3 now, soon 3.7.4 when I get time.

From the start to now, I download little moods. What I download get tested, not always though, but most get tested. Most of them ending up disabled, or removed completely.

Right now I have 10 mods installed, but normally I use 5 mods only, and those have been the same since I purchased my first license.

I do appreciate all those people who make modds, but for me it have been the skin who have been most important, not the modds. That may change in the future though.

Just wanted to give feedback, since those who make all the modds ask why we don't use them so much.
