You would have to go through the php file and the template and change each phrase and variable if you want to run 2 versions on your site

actually it's a great idea I've always think of it, however there are some remarks make it inconvenient:

1st: it doesn't deal well with right to left languages (so yes is no, & no is yes)
2nd: yes and no are vbphrase, so to translate them we have to go through the template (which is tedious)
3rd: fields are a little restricted, such as the phone number

***update*****
and before I forget, the powered by vbulletin page (i.e., staffapp.php) is not compatible with version 3.8.4

u should replace this line:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); 


with this:

PHP Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192); 


anyways, I liked it

[HMBeaty]

Well, I'm not familiar with the right to left languages so I'm not sure how to change that so it will accommodate your needs. And version 2.0.0 (was originally going to be 1.4.0) which should be released next month is pretty much a complete rewrite of the staff application along with LOADS of new features. One of those being that the email field is required while the phone number field is now optional. Unless you meant "restricted" in a different way. So, feedback on how you would like to see those or improvements that need to made are appreciated.
