I would love to see a paid hacks section so I do not have to visit a bunch of different forums for all of the free and paid hacks I have installed.

Yes, that probably would be nice for you, Pocketbike. But for most everyone else here, we don't have a client we can bill who'll pay our expenses.

where is the official jelsoft vbulletin lite?

My salary is paid for by my advertisers.

I don't think it is available anymore. Someone here might have an archived copy though. Keep in mind it is a very old and crippled version.

A few. No and No.

Okay, then is it permissible for someone to start a New Thread and ASK ...

What other commercial add-ons are available for vB?
(PLEASE no reviews - just the product name / brief description and link)

The reason I'm asking is that it appears people can ask about add-ons of a specific use.

If you say Yes ... please someone else post it.
I have no problems questioning authority but I don't want to be the leader of the pack.

eh? You got me there. I could have sworn I have been trying to discuss lots of various options while you have been persistantly dead pan on the discussion. In fact, the post you are talking about has bugger all about compromising - I was using freaking vb as an example of why LITE version dont always work.

The irony is killing me Its got to be at least tickling you?

Until something is decided for definate, this would only be inviting trouble and not helping your cause at all.

Apples and oranges.

vB lite Vs vBulletin in not even close to an add in. The back end is already there.

Huge difference.

Besides, I'd bet more service providers then code writers would use the service if available.

I have to admit, you letting your defenses down and me slipping in once in a while does kindof feel ironic, don't it? LOL

The one post that you DON'T compromise in, is the one that seems to stand out. Consistency, my friend.

I'm utterly and butterly intrigued. What post ?

Actually - on second thought your entire post is pure Soduko to me

Apples = commerical scripts
Oranges = LITE scripts.

Apples & Oranges is very true

You are still trying to define add ins as applications it seems to me without actually saying it. Perception is way more powerful then...

Bottom line, the larger percentage of vB add ins are not applications at all IMO, they require vBulletin. I know there are exceptions, but they certainly are the minority.
