Last try, cant find plug in I like to do these tasks - will go for 3rd party software
 

I want a nice geographic 'service directory' I cant seem to find a plug in that will do what this will
http://www.demodirectory.com/listing/

Also might use their classifieds too
http://www.demodirectory.com/classified/

In both, the 'locate via zip code' and locate via country or city search options - seem fantastic, perfect for my needs..

I would opt for these only because I haven't been able to find VB plug ins that seem to be as feature rich..

Also the Directory and classified would be so important to the website that I would hate to start off with a plug in that got abandoned by its designer a year later or that would cease to play ball with VB after upgrades..

I would want VB navigation back to the forum on any new pages..

I will be checking that company out more this week but I am minded to jump over to it...

So, any last bits of advice for me? Have I overlooked some perfectly good plug ins that can do the same things?

I think its the geographic searching / geographic directory functions that are missing with the plug ins.. I think that might be just a bit too fancy for the plug ins that are available at the moment..

Prove me wrong?

Have I missed something?

Many thanks in advance..
