Talisman ,

Thanks for the great comments. Been offline for a bit to get our main business sites up (www.mobileroadwarrior.com is our main business). But, back to your comments ... we showed our client vBulletin 2.3 running and they really liked it.

So NOW, it's just a matter of integrating the LISTSERV type email functionality for the small number diehard Yahoo Groups members that won't change in the beginning. Two questions:

1) There are only two hacks we need to meet a Yahoo Groups busting spec. The first is this optional email "subscription" with text and an email "reply" with text. Apparantly vB3 has an enhanced "subscription" notification service to include instant/daily/weekly email notifications. I posted an inquiry on the vB3 forums and one of the dev guys said the notifications will be quite robust but will not have a text option - I looked at the vB3 forum.

Any hack ideas ??

2) Second, we need an online SUBSCRIPTION PAYMENT option with PayPal and the one included in vB3 is excellent for what we want. It also includes a GREAT way to develop different levels of PAID subscription.

Therefore, we would really like to jump over to vB3, but need this email capability with vB3 IF POSSIBLE ??

From what we have read there are potentially MANY others that could use this same functionality - calling all hackers !!
