Installed Mods + Design

[Chadi]

Some feature request for installed mods list output:

1. Ability to sort alphabetically
2. Ability to search within installed mods (probably deep coding)
3. Ability to custom group them based on:
- template only modification
- coding required modification
- single plugin upload only mod (as in, no file uploads, no code/template edits required, basically those just upload the xml file type plugin)
- file uploads mods

Specifically #3 is the best one personally. Would make life so much easier when doing upgrades. Basically the member can select from a drop down list which group to apply the mod to - plus a mutiple checkbox selection from the total installed mods list as well to make it even faster in grouping the.

As for the design of this site, not to be rude but its really getting boring. Yes, I do see the color options but still, let's spice it up.

So to be fair about adding new designs (yes, plural), professional ones from known vb skin sellers - vb org can require x amount of dollars donated first and a poll to which new design should be purchased. The x amount of $ will cover the cost of the cost of the skin and compensate for the work required to modify the skin to fit whatever mods this forum is using. I think its a great idea.

I don't know how much time it has taken to get all the customizations done on this site by the coders (I'm guessing Paul M is responsible for a majority?) but let's say hypothetically speaking vb org will require $250 donation goal first per skin. This is pretty decent if you ask me. After the cost of the skin is covered, whomever is responsible for this site's skin devel can receive the rest of the donation portion. A little extra dough on the side is nice in this day and age and economic status right?

On a side note, a much better idea is to send out a sponsor request to the vb skin creators out there to donate some of their skins and receive a free text ad link in the footer. They'll be blessed beyond enough if that comes to fruition considering the enormous traffic this site gets.

Its nice to change things around and keep things fresh.

Just a thought

I also proposed this idea few weeks ago.

Given the heavy amount of customization on this site any 3rd party skin would likely be an unfeasible amount of work for the staff.
