vB5 you say? I'm still waiting...

One day perhaps! Until then I'm fine with vB3 or vB4 so are all my clients aside from a few who made the leap to 5 before they knew me etc.

Yes it's possible but more trouble than vB3 and 4 were, takes more time and will cost more money than the same mod in vB3 or 4 plain and simple, feel free to point out examples otherwise.

I know you can add in hooks where you want but good golly molly we had them in just the right places in vB3 then vB4 but now we must do as we've been told many times in the past, submit a request via Jira (I still love you Paul but no, someone should be paid to think ahead and add/re-add where common sense says they should be or were prior to a certain degree) when we're not being paid a penny to submit anything - mutually beneficial someone will argue haha I say, haha! I'm here to help to a certain degree within reason just like any of you and I do it gladly however a wife and three kids demand my time when I'm not working though, if not for that I'd gladly sit all day and submit jira tickets so would others I'd imagine.

The company had the system removed a while back (why???? I have yet to hear one good reason WHY they removed it to begin with) then decided to re-include later... Things just don't make sense to me when silliness like that occurs! The cloud and not being able to run mods clues me in though! It clues me in as to why I believe the functionality was removed to begin with - security risk if plugin was outdated and exploitable no matter if on a shared cloud environment or one single site... gave time for things to "simmer" down after a plethora of sites vB powered sites were hacked in a few months time (30,000+ or so) where many saw it as vB's fault when in fact it was just bad timing and an unknown exploit - so my theory is they cut their nose off to spite their face (even though it may have seemed like to them, that it was preventing future facepalmage but this is just imo, my little "conspiracy theory" lol) when it seemed like mods out of their control made them look bad per say.

Hey that's just my 2 cents on some random dribble lol, as I said initially above you can mod it but takes more time and adding in hooks and more to code when you can just purchase a vB5 license and run vB4 fine and find those to customize it for you and possibly use free existing mods (1,953 plus compared to vB5's low 65 or so) to achieve what you want AND no need to pay someone to make a vB3 or 4 mods work on 5 etc etc.
