Well, since I'm not a PHP programer and in fact not good at programming anything. soooo I'll never know the difference Beside's if I can get the functionallity of the Nuke addon's and still be able to utilize vB for the important core then I'll be happy.

You are right about the Nuke code being crappy and inconsistant, that's what you get being the code has been pieced together by many different people. But if it works it's a starting point and I haven't seen many offer a front end portal with as much functionallity and ease of installation and use for the price yet.
