So with that being said, anyone looking for custom modifications needs to check the vB4 versus vB5 modification forums
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=198 and make a mental note: "Ohh look, there's thousands of mods and template edits available for vB4 but only a handful ~50 or so for vB5" and think long and hard on that before you hire someone who promises you the world in a hand basket because it won't fit i.e. how are they going to make a mod for you - is it something that is possible in vB5? These are just some of the questions you need to ask anyone before hiring them to code any type of modification in vB5 because the ease-of-use in a sense regarding creating a plugin is not like it used to be and your "mod" that you want coded may not be possible however you're being promised the work again in yet another hand-basket.
Be careful folks and remember we do not become involved in disputes for a reason, we can't take sides and who's telling the truth you or the other party? We don't know for sure so we cannot and will not take sides.
One tip: Have an American Express Card? Associate it with your PayPal account and use it to pay on paypal - if you open a paypal dispute and it does not go the way you planned then contact American Express as they side with their customers and will more than likely ensure you receive a refund paypal or not.
