I do agree on that one, although I usually get responses from the members, the vB guys never respond to PM's (I asked one of them about the new rules last week, and if something I posted would violate them. -I never recieved a response -as if it's so hard to click reply to PM, type "Yes, please don't post that on vbulletin.com" and click send. I guess they just don't have time for the folks that keep them paid.)

They have to much to do to get 2.2.x secure this time?
They have to much to do with 3.0 this time?

I don't know.

PS: should I better keep out of this thread? Newbee & no english?

Edit:
I had an agreement with my English teacher at the school time: You let to me in rest I let you in rest. Today I regret it.
I do not know whether I nerve you.
PS: This is a program duch translates.

Next edit (last: on 04-13-02 at 05:27 PM):
Slowly I come here to myself too before as air. But that is certain only at my English. I do not give up, only so I can learn English and do simultaneously good.

This section is also about a program translated.

manual: Hope the programm do it perfect.

I've asked to have my username at vb.com changed (to match the one here), I never got a response. Bumped it once, still no response, so I gave up.

I don't know.

IMO, the development team and the forum moderation team should be seperate. So the one activity doesn't interfere with the performance/quality of the other.

I agree with you Freddie... vb.org is different... when i first signed up and bought my vb i thought it'd be quite the experience... but i seem to have been mistaken... don't see very much help and i don't know what kind of help i would recieve it i asked questions... props to PPN for showing both respectability and reliablity... yeah i don't see many mods around much... mostly just PPN who's done a great job... i've seen some of your comments around Freddie and i think you're correct... this community needs to make a turn around... i've seen alot of criticizing and what not as well... the way PPN once stated... "if the hack is useful and its what you want thats what matters"... sure quantity != quality... but sometimes such a simple hack can be very useful... as i've seen many around...

Hi all. I'm not sure it's necessarily fair to indict a community for not helping when you haven't yet asked for help. (Sorry if that makes no sense!) I recently delurked after spending months in the shadows, too shy to post. My very first post was a hack request, and only a couple of hours later, Logician replied with some questions asking me to clarify myself a little better.

By the end of 24 hours, s/he'd provided me with no less than three attempts to get the hack working properly, and the last one was perfection. S/he even offered me an alternative just in case what I was asking for wasn't possible. All this for a hack that no one else has requested, so it may not be all that useful to anyone but me! I'm incredibly grateful and humbled by getting such quick, thorough help.

Maybe I was just extremely lucky by having Logician be the first one to find me. (Obviously s/he truly enjoys hacking and helping. ) Or maybe it's the way I posted -- I was honest with my lack of experience, and tried to be as polite and undemanding as someone requesting free help should be. That doesn't seem to always be the case. (Some requesters are pretty rude in response to the hacks people provide them -- a service y'all are getting provided to you for free, people! Jeez!)

All in all, I think the vBulletin.org experience is what we make of it. If one comes off like a demanding idiot, it's unlikely that others are gonna be inspired to offer much help.

Sorry for the length. And thanks again to the supportive people who make vB so helpful!
