i go back and click on each level of the above chain and cannot see how the one above connects to the one below. for example, on the forum main page i cannot see the link to "vBulletin Modifications"

There is a modification in the Modifications forum which separates the modifications based on what type of mod they are. The one you're looking at deals with BB code, so it's grouped with other BB code mods. Going up the chain, everything should be fairly self explanatory until you get to the jump from vB Mods to the Forum Home. In order to not clutter the main forum page with ALL the forums, the Mods forum is hidden slightly. This way it can be separated and organized. You can reach the Mods forums at any time by clicking on the tabs at the top of the page (upper right - Home - Forums - Articles - etc.)

Also I have found about 5 or 6 different youtube bbcodes. i have seem that soem modifications have the "supported" icon on them and I figure those are all approved and tested but is there a good place to find a listing of excellent modifications and bbcodes rather than in the individual threads?

"Supported" means that they are supported by the individual developers of the mod itself. It does not mean that they have been checked for functionality/security/etc by anyone. It just means that if you have a question, the developer will try to help you.

At the top of every mod it should list the latest version of vB that the dev has tested it on. If they see that something they made works on 3.8 as well as 3.7, then they can have the same mod listed under both 3.7 and 3.8. There weren't too many changes between 3.7 and 3.8 though, so you'll find a lot of people posting on the threads of 3.7 mods saying that they worked on 3.8 as well.

Search:

*code*
All Mods
Titles Only

Or go to one of the modification forums and pull down the menu in the center (just above the thread listings) to BB Code Enhancements, and enjoy!

why are some of the main sections (mods and skinning) not even visible from the main page?

Again, organization.
