(specifically i would like to link to some of our addons... arcade, pickem contest we coded, etc)

I can not speak on v2 of this mod as it is not released yet, but I can tell you about the current release. I have it installed and am using it like it was intended to be used...ie on the forum to switch between forum categories. The way it works is like vBulleting.org -> each tab is linked to the categories you assign to them and only that category will be displayed on the page for the tab that is selected.

In addition to the standard use of these tabs, I have implemented them on my website (not used on the forum) to pull external content. So essentially, you could use the tabs in other places besides on your forum. I will say this though, as I have found so far, the pages you plan to include these tabs on, will have to be tied into the vBulletin forum. My website consists of custom pages that use the vBulletin API, which allow me to tie into the vBulletin forum. This is how I am able to use the tabs externally from the forum.

As for your addons, arcade, etc. as long as the tabs are tied into your forum, you will be able to link to mostly anything. The only problem so far is pulling javascript into the ajax tab view...ajax and javascript don't play well with each other....to my understanding, v2 fixes that issue.

I can tell you this, this mod is wonderful now. When v2 is released, it will be better without a doubt. Again, I have found uses for this mod external from the forum and only 1 limitation thus far.
