WOW...heres real life going on!
Go Cyricx! Go Cyricx!
Great job you`re doing here!

Can`t wait for your next release!

Realistically how stable is this mod ? Can it be used on a very large forum yet ? I'm DYING for something like this and I'd really like to implement it.

I dont think it's particularly stable in the form that it's currently in. I personally am waiting for a future version that leverages the vb mail system and has a better parsing system.

I'd donate to the development of this project!

It looks e-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t! ;) I am all for reliability, so I wouldn't mind the "write between the lines" thingy.

It's not completely stable now. Still has it's burps.

The next version will be SOLID if I have anything to say about it ;)

Amazing work buddy. Amazing.

Hi Cyricx,

I need your honest evaluation. My organization is about to bolt on vBulletin all together because of the lack of a reliable email system. I have been looking through the threads, and it is clear that there is very strong demand for your work. Thanks for picking up the pieces.

I need to make an evaluation as to whether I should put your beta software on my system now, or whether I need to toss vBulletin completely. To make this decision, I need a high-level summary of the current issues with your implementation. That way I can decide whether the current problems are something we can live with, or whether the timing is not right and we need to find some other solution. Could you please help with this?

Would anone else like to comment?

p.s. - We would definitely pay for a stable solution to this gaping hole in vBulletin.

My honest evaluation...

I would not bolt on vbulletin.

This modification WILL come to pass. And it's very close to being stable enough for a heavy roll out.

Time table? I can't be certain. I'd love to have this rolling out in the next two weeks.

In fact I'm taking next monday off my paying job (using a vacation day) to dump a significant amount of time into this modification to try to finish resolving a few of the problems remaining.

The current version her eon vborg, is "okay". Sometimes the parsing is crappy and it'll show extra = signs, and attachments aren't handled very well.

The version I have built so far is pretty solid.

I can promise a new version in 2 weeks that may not use vbmail.

However, I'm hoping to get one that uses vbmail by that same time frame.

I know this isn't the definitive concrete answer you were hoping for.. but it's an honest one :)

Cyricx,

Thanks for your quick response and your frank evaluation. I will download and install your code to see where it stands. It sounds to me as if it is my best bet at the moment.

From what I can see, many people are rooting for you (myself included). Thanks for the great work thus far. I would be happy to report back any issues I may find if that would be helpful to you.

John
