I'd like a payment system that could use paypal & return to a different download page depending on what was purchased.
It would also need to be accessible to non members

Any ideas?

Here's something you could please a LOT of people with :)

A REVERSE ACTION Hack!

A advanced members list like myspace is all I need and then change the name to browse instead of members list

i havnt read them all but i need something that can organise rss feeds for external use (not for internal use), simplified for noobs like me! :) :) ...

This is a must :p

i vote for a photo gallery as well!

Article System v3article

I need:

MOST IMPORTANTLY
An autoresponder sequence that will allow someone to expand vbulletin's current e-mail system. It will allow people to use their admin cp and write a series of e-mails and then have these e-mails sent out at a pre-set interval (daily, weekly, monthly) to people who agreed to recieve them. When people sign up at the website they will opt-in to these e-mails and they upon confirming their e-mail address and becoming a registered user will immediately recieve day 1's email. The second day that they have their account they will recieve day 2's email and so on and so forth... I have searched for a long time for something like this and can't find it. I would appreciate it if you could make it. I would even pay for it if needed.

I also need:
A Course Management System like moodle, with quizzes, classes, designated forums and a paypal module for paid classes with support for video, audio & text based lessons would be great. Or, you could just integrate Moodle & vBulletin.

A way to have unlimited length paid subscriptions. The current system only allows subscriptions for a few years in length. I would like an option where I could set it and forget it and not have to ever manually override the system.

An affiliate program for paid memberships. This would include the affiliate manager script, an add-on to the user-cp or a separate system that would allow affiliates to choose their ads and view statistics. It would pay people by paypal every month for a set % of the membership fee * The number of members they referred.

Yep!

1) Rainy dull day? - click on the "humor" tag and read through some funny stuff.

2) Interested in one subject? Click to search that tag - and get a selection of threads & posts that the admin has decided are the very best on THAT subject

3) Users always nagging for one central place to find one subject? (but making a forum for it doesnt fit your sites layout? - Make a tag catagory for that subject - tag any threads or posts relating to it - and you will never be bothered by your users for it again!

Tagging - will help users MINE THE GOLD buried in your forum!

Tagging will make users information rich and happy users make a sucesssfull forum!

Searching popular tag catagories - would be a great way for a new visitor to experience a forum.

"Hall of fame" / "best of" tags would be fun too!
