3.5 mods confuse the h out of me..
 

Is there anyway we could re-arrange the 3.5 mod forums to look like the 3.0 ones? I understand the reasoning but from a user standpoint I am never sure which forum to look in to find a mod. The 3.0 forums were really easy in that I could just go to major additions or showthread hacks etc to find the hacks I wanted to browse.

Thanks!

I think there is a new hack database in the works, i can only assume that this may be a solution for you.

I actually think the new way is better as it caters to peoples skill level with coding or website access.

bah.. people never actually hack their vb based on their real skill. I am pure testimony to that :) :) :) :) :)

yep, that will become all easier with the HackDB

unfortunatelly, we are way behind our schedule.... damn RL

Awesome! thanks!

i am also having difficulty to look for suitable mod/hack weaving through the pages.
initially when 3.5 is still in beta, i thought all the hacks lump in a section are just temporary...

the 3.0 section is nice with subforums categorizing the various mods/hacks.



if it could be like invisionize.com , it would be better, much more organize.
Just my feedback.

I find the 3.5 section pretty easy to browse through, and actually used to browse the 3.0 section with the "Old Layout".. Ultimately though, search is your friend. :)

Each to their own.

I liked the old layout one lump forum myself. :) I like the current way becuase when im bored I just go looking for plugins to install.

I always use the search function to find something I need. And it works. :p

I'll vouch for trackpads on that point. ;)

Just trying to help, buddy. ;)

Yes, I agree. Old Layout is what I use, it's just easier for me.

I like the new layout. It makes it easier for me to avoid code hacks and only check them rarely so that I use one only if I think it's REALLY useful :)

As stated, there will be more organization when the database functionality is put into place. It is coming as soon as possible. I would rather it get done correctly the first time instead of possibly destroying resources on the site.

I don't think anyone thought there would be almost 600 addons released for 3.5 in such a short period of time. This tells me the vBulletin developers have headed in the right direction with the classes, data managers and plugins. 600 addons, is about half of all those released for the 3.0.X series in over a year. And here we are just a few months into the release of 3.5.X. It is more than 1/3 of the total addons for the 2.X series over three years of releases.

This makes the database front-end all that more important. Forums are good for discussions but not very good for organizing a lot of resources. What happens in a year when there are a thousand plugins and even more addons? This site will be unbearable to manage and the number of forums will be out of control. Add to this future versions and new Jelsoft products which will have plugins and hacks of their own and soon no one will be able to find anything.

Bear with the staff a while longer and they will provide something better than anything Invisionize could dream up.

actually i am very impress with the plugins idea of vBulletin and i think many vB hacker will feel so. it makes hacking or making addons so much easier that vB hackers just need to concentrate more in making more hacks.
