INTRODUCTION
v3 Articles was originally written for the fine people at www.DodgeTalk.com, for use with their vBulletin forum. The purpose of this add-on is to provide a place in vBulletin for articles (e.g. news, reviews, editorials) similar to that of the thread interface - but with a more content-oriented approach.

Features:
- Usergroup based permissions
- Full editing/deletion/moderation system
- Article attachments
- Article ratings
- Comments system
- "Featured Article" system, give great articles top exposure
- Introduction and category description text
- Smilies and icons
- Full BBCODE/WYSIWYG support
- Attachment captions
- Full page navigation for articles and comments
- Comment dupe checking
- Status icons
- View users' ratings in their comments

Alternatively, check the screenshots!

I've tried to make the installation as quick and painless as possible. Enjoy!


WORKING DEMO
You can see a working demo of v3 Articles at www.v3articles.com. (Part of the v3 Arcade website.)


MANY THANKS
- Ron Wilson, of DodgeTalk.com
- Everyone on v3Arcade.com who donated to keep the server running


SUPPORT
Support can be found in the v3 Articles thread on vBulletin.org, and shortly on v3arcade.com. (I'll set up a priority support system.) As always, I'll happily give support for real problems. However, a lot of the time people ask questions about things which have already been answered hundreds of times. If you have a problem caused by not reading through the instructions or checking through the support thread, I can't guarantee a response.


DONATIONS
v3 Articles is free, but my server isn't! Any donations are hugely appreciated in order to help me keep my v3 sites running. (PayPal: john@eovie.com). Many thanks to those who donate!
If you're looking for someone to install v3 Articles for you, email me at john@eovieinteractive.com.


PLEASE CLICK INSTALL
Needless to say, if you install this please click the "Install" button. Thanks.

Not that this will help anyone, however, I was able to use the image thumbnail fix and get this to work with 3.0.3. without issues.

I have decided though to await the new release so I uninstalled this hack.

When you have a chance John (I know you are swamped) let us know about a release on the newest version

Use this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=68495 to fix your thumbnail issues.

Once you do that, delete, as re-upload the images you want.

Hope that helps!

Mike

Then, I'm sorry, but there is a credibility gap when they do not!

Why is it "demanding" to expect someone to keep their word? If there is a delay or a change of plans, couldn't John simply post that new information?

Three More Options:
1. Mind your own business.
2. Repeat step 1.
3. Repeat step 2.

In response to spence2...you whinning like a 4-year-old seriously bothers me.
And as for minding your own business(I believe thats how you stated it, see quote above), if you where minding your own business you would have whinned to yourself in the first place not bothered the rest of us with your nonsense!!! In your smallness you may be forgeting John has provided us with some fantastic hacks and people have other lives as well. Oh and by the way I did a search of this entire site and I don't exactly see any mod contributions by YOU, only complaints. Perhaps if none of these mods work for you you should "examine" who is installing them...Thank You So Much...!
