I am very glad that I can find solutions to my forum problems, where I fail to do so with templates. And I think I can get the help here. The team behind vB org is doing good job (and fast). But I am scared to ask a stupid question, because I feel I am immediatly put in a box that is tagged 'lamer'. I do not have this feeling on vB com.

I am sorry to see the shoutbox go, because its a nice hack and looks fun on the portal. But I am happy it is not there no more, since it is not really something that contributes to this site. And the content of the posts aren't 'really' fun to read.

I have seen a lot of full releases that I consider beta stage .. even if I do not know much enough php/mysql to write my own. But there are a lot of good quality hacks out there, like vBstats and those little ones that improve the look of a board. They do not result in 50 extra queries per page load.

I seriously dislike seeing hacks that I need to pay for. For the simple reason that I personally will not purchase any. (This doesn't mean I do not understand why someone would ask money for it!). At least show your 'free' hacks here, and use the signature to inform us you have made more hacks, and they are for purchase. And use your own forum for support.

I am fairly new to this site, since January, but the last somewhat weeks it started to look somewhat messy to me. The new green theme is a nice improvement. It makes it look more professional, instead of 'warez' like.

Restrickting users for downloads and/or even reading threads/attachments is a good idea. Making this public for license holders is a nice idea. And I support that.

Even though I sound negative at times in this post, I do respect the help and support from other members from this board. And the time they put into making code-modifications for the vBulletin forum. And I also have respect for the team behind this web site. For they have done a bloody great job.
