I understand what you are saying, but the lack of a means to search the groups means that all this wonderful group specific content is not indexed and most members won't even know it exists. Now I tried this hack out with my moderators and they seemed to enjoy it, but it doesn't seem like it is going to scale without searches, indexing, and subscriptions. A lot of hacks are a flash in the pan, great idea, poor execution and eventually they get removed. I don't see an easy way to convince my members to check their groups for new messages every time they visit the site.

I hope you're not taking this personally. I would love it for this hack to work because I can see that it would be very valuable, but IMO it is not going to scale enough to be used on any large sites.

BTW, there are a few hacks that do amazing things within the well defined VB datamanagers, DB layout, and hooks system.

Have you any examples of search integration? i mean? tags, pictures (vBGallery, Photopost vB gallery, Photopost), anything at all?

In regards to major additions to vBulletin, aren't most being sold via your nearest coder through their newly acquired LLC?

And in regards to things like subscriptions, i'm pretty sure i made a post in which i said i had planned said feature along with others and wanted to start working on the next major version of this hack but instead of that i fixed bugs and added more features to this version to the point i don't even have a sketch of on a piece of paper of what i want the new layout to be like or even have anything written down in terms of what features i want other than a post here i made in giddy excitement. i haven't even managed to code the opening PHP bracket in a file.

Anyway all that aside, Trana have you considered this mod to achieve your desires: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=92201
