Default Which hack(s) you can't live without?

I was just wondering... With all the hacks out there, any newbie like myself will have an almost impossible time figuring out which hacks are the best or most useful so I decided to come out with this thread.

It's almost standard for many users to install Trilogyte's Welcome Panel and Firefly's quickreply hacks. But I was also thinking if there are other hacks out their that newbie's like myself haven't heard about and what in your opinion are the hacks you just can't live without.

Any replies would be great.

That's true Xenon. Gee, for my site there are so many hacks that I would hate to be without, because I've had them for so long. Most of them are admin hacks, which help adminstrating the site much easier, like the one Xenon mentioned.

End user hacks would be the collapse forum on forumhome, display last post on forumhome, thread browsers, chatbox, Weather and a myriad of custom hacks that I made for my site.

If you ask this question to hack authors, most will compile a list full of his/her own hacks and this is normal, because most of them code hacks initally for their personal needs so what they created are what they need most.. I have way too many hacks and I'm still surprised how come some of my personal favorites never got the attention they deserved, while some of my other hacks which never had a high priority to me, favored highly by many users..

Therefore I believe the answer of non-hackers will be more help to you, but IMO you dont need to seek this information in this thread: listing the hacks by installation number/rating/reply count/view count etc. in the hack db&Full Releases section, helps a lot to have an good impression..

I'm going to be using Hivemail soon and methinks this is going to be one essential hack.

You all missed the one hack that has changed the face of vbulletin. And that is Logician's Dynamic Templates Hack. I can do things with this one hack that I could never do in php file editing. I would give up vbulletin before I would give this hack up.
