you have the comment of some coder that does not want to invest to make profits... that's not bad... but then you can't complain about a protocol that work perfectly for the last years ...

if you really want to work for that client, you have to make a deal with him... enter your email in his members area at vb.com will make you available to access all the hacks released here...

you have also to consider to abandon that kind of clients you can't reach... you can't do everything at once. if you don't want to invest a minimal leased license of vBulletin to have access to everything, that's you to blame, not us...

i started that way here... i once leased a license because some commercial client required me to learn the software and create some tools for him... the guy was paying well, so i had the change in return... and now i'm a respected vBulletin coder because i know about every lines of codes from it... and i can tell you that it's better than anyother software, because people are serious clients... i can tell by comparing with Postnuke clients... i'm the Postnuke founder...
