If there is one thing that stops me from registering on a forum, it is that modification!

My all time favorite would have to be.. GAL. I used it in a way to not annoy my members, but actually help them know what the hell everyone was talking about, and it worked out great.

Yep, that isn't the worst modification, but it's one of the worst. The worst register one is the one that's like flash or something that scrolls down the page with you, that pisses me off so much. I refuse to join a board that has that.

Worst Modification

------------------------------------------------------

vB Advanced - aka make everyone's forum have a fake front page that looks the same. I don't care about the options, it's overdone and they all look the same.

------------------------------------------------------

Best Modification

------------------------------------------------------

Passive Vid Not BB Code - simply the best video integration into forum mod there is. Nothing compares IMO.

Can't live without spoiler and stack rank products, the latter being a fix to the vb code.

You mean by the flash thing the scrolling Internet Explorer security alert style bar found on some forums? Yeah, that's incredibly annoying. Nothing however compares to 'Right Click prevention' scripts though, probably the worst joke on the internet.

As for vB Advanced, I don't really mind it simply because I don't pay any attention to it, and just click through to the forum listing anyway.

My favourite modification is the procrastinating hack that allows you to switch your forum offline by simply turning your board offline by thinking keywords like "offline" " taking a break" "au revoir" so you can take a break from having a break. That and maybe the "bump thread hack" which I suggested nick to code.

My least favourite modification are the ones you have to install.
