Email newsletter would be good if done properly.
More frequent news on front of the site too

Well, more frequent news, isn'T as easy.

When there is nothing new, what should we post there? ^^

If people have time to work on vb.org, I suggest three things:

1. Run through vb3 hacks and make sure things are in proper category. Nonfunctional hacks probably belong in Beta. Some hacks are trivial and might belong in Mini-Mods. Just a quick review to make sure things are consistent.

2. Someone (anyone) can start a list of new hacks released this week. (Edit: This would be a continuing feature, so it would be good to designate a moderator to do this!) Just a single post or new thread in an appropriate forum. It helps people who value this site but only manage to visit 2-3 times a month. Right now I need to sort by "old layout" and go back two weeks, sifting through hacks I have already gone through because someone bumped the support thread.

3. Either quickly finish or definitively cancel all the stuff that has been previously discussed or promised. Many normal people start with vb3 now, it is nice to have a fresh slate and give closure to past issues.

Thanks to all of the volunteers!

Some authors in the title of hack state which version of vb its compliant with. When a new release of vb comes out, sometimes people install it and see everything is working okay. It would be nice if a user could update that to say it works with vb3.x.x. I know the authors can but alot forget to and it just makes things easier.

I love this idea. But new users may get confused and think that people are obliged to fill their requests from the wishlist

some hack attachments named readme or install or instructions or....

could we have the files names related to the hack names?

also when updating a hack it would be nice to change the file name by adding a # or something

I seen hacks that I downloaded long ago and they were updated but I didn't know cuz the file name never changed !!!

A separate forum for people to ask vB questions instead of bringing it to The Lounge.

Also the suggestions that Merjawy has just put forth.

I really dislike the fact that I have to leave one site to go to another for questions/answers regarding vb hacks and/or template mods.

It's equivalent to entering 1 store and being sent to another store across the street.

I know you probably will not enact anything like this ... but I think it would benefit everyone if VBORG & VBTEMPLATES was one.

You don't even have to integrate the 2 sites - just fetch thread/posts from specific forums. Everyone will benefit ... you, me, vb.org, and vbtemplates.com.


ALSO:
Enable the abilty to insert images within posts. For example, if I created/added an article it would be nice to "place" images where I want them. Not at the bottom of the post.
