Thank you for the compliment.
Kudos go out to our new master coder. He is absolutelly brilliant, and has merged these applications together even better than I had originally hoped for.
The absolute best thing, is our members absolutelly love the new system. I have had virtually no complaints, and the registration and login system is so much smoother than on our last "bridge".

To be honest, a lot of people have been looking for this for years, the ability to use standard modules from PostNuke/PHPNuke with a VB forum, and intergrated features like memberships.
Please release it, I think you would make a lot of people very happy, myself included

Given the time I am sure it will someday be released. It is only the beginning of the script connector. We are still working on the photopost module and then we will apply the same technology to oscommerce so that people using either postnuke or vbulletin can finally have a real shopping cart option.

If anyone has other ideas of popular apps to be merged, please let us know, and we'll consider adding them. It would totally depend upon the application, and the demand for it, as to wether we decide to build it, and release this technology.

I was thinking the same thing about most of the layout...

You are correct.
At the moment we are the only site using the new technology, though we are working as hard as possible to finish it up for release. There is a lot involved with scripting like this such as import scripts to populate either db depending upon which system you are allready running, and building the support website.

I would expect to have it released sometime within the next month or so, no guarantees on the time, just that it will be released. It was only yesterday that we finished the photopost module so things are progressing quickly. The only other project I want to finish first is the oscommerce cart module. We will then build the site to support everything.

yes you are correct, the theme is very close to what msn used to use. Obviously they are radically different now. I am still hunting for a seriously professional theme designer for postnuke. Someone who can "break out of the box" and come up with something very unique. I'm sure someday I will come across such a person, but I'm happy with the current layout for now.

I would however love to find a professional theme designer for vbulletin. It seems that most of the best ones, after searching these forums, are now out of business. I looked at every single site in this forum topic, and none seemed to be what I am looking for. Either they are way to heavy on graphics, which is bad for large sites, or they look virtually the same as stock with only a few graphic updates. That's also ok though, because the new stock vb totally rocks. Great job guys.

Kind of agree with you there about the themes, or lack of them. The thing is that with the overly insane complexity of the VB template system, most people just don't even want to bother with it. I made a attempt a couple years ago, took me 2 months of studying and work just to get it to work, and I felt like you needed a rocket science degree by the time it was all said and done.
And then, of course, they changed the thing on us with the new version, using xml etc, so I decided to myself to say the heck with it. I got a premade design, rather than spend more of my time trying to figure out the new setup.
Shame it's not like the other forum software, or PHP-Nuke/PostNuke etc. Themes were very easy to do, and if you experimented a bit with it, you could do some surprising things.
I'm looking forward to this release, personally, I don't need the shopping cart (I'm a totally free resource site) or the photopost (I use coppermine) but from what I have seen, this looks very good.

umm i remember your old site it was excellent @ Shiva
redo something
as i know that vb3's template system is actually a lot better then
vb2's by far

having a standard skin doesn't suit someone with your talents
