MGC vBCovers
 

MGC vBCover is a new enhancement to your forum !

It provides your users with the possibility to add covers when posting new subjects, covers which are then displayed in the subject itself as well as in the thread lists on forumdisplay.

Covers can be input either manually or automatically retrieved thanks to the thread title from many sources (IMDB, Amazon, Google Books, and many other).

How can we view a live demo. I don't feel like joining another website right now.

The demo forum is now visible to guests ;)

However to test the posting features with automatic retrieval from IMDB (and other sources as pro is installed on my website) you will have to register.

Any plans in the future for a widget, both vertical and horizontal.

For CMS ? Like latest covers ? Or Cover animation on CMS widget ?

I am open to suggestion of course, there is a project tools on my forum where user can suggest new features.

I know this states 4.1.x. so does this mean no way it's going to work on 4.0.x ?

It does ;)
