Since we are now 100% legal, registered at VBulletin etc it's time to investigate the possibility of fancy VB-Add-Ons.
I am sure some of you have stumbled across communities running VB mods you found useful or applicable to SRL. So if you have seen mods worth investigating please report here.
TIA,
WT!
Not sure you guys use this, but

Some of them are useless, but most of them are pretty useful imo :)
Easy Forms
Cyb - PayPal Donate
vB Drafts
Display Reputation Comments Given
Enhanced Captcha Image Verification
Proxy IP to Real IP
and
Doublepost Prevention
look like things that would, and should be added
and Live Topic just looks nifty, but it would mess with my system of looking at new posts :P
* Enable that Quick Reply by default
* iSpy!
Hmm, I dont think we should add double post prevention. What if you fix up an old script, but dont want to make a new thread, and you were the last one to post?

Not that I know much about vB, but that sounds to me like it could speed up the site?

You dodged to question, was it legal for srl to be running vBulletin?Quote:

AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs
Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics
Cyb - PayPal Donate
Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count
Obviously there are more but they've been said earlier in the thread.
@Wizzup, I would just shut the forum down for a day and get all these functioning and tested.
I think he meant they bought like a 1 yr license, but used it for 2 or 3...Quote:

Live thing looks pretty neat. Testing it wouldn't hurt you. Donations, dbl post, ispy, iphone all seem a must. But ya, they all seem great!
Haaa,
sooo good to get valuable input! Thanks so far.
We have mainly concentrated on getting the forums back up and running without " dramatic" errors. I have put a heavy strain on Wizz, and SRL demanded his full time attention. I should really leave him be for a while with exams coming up and stuff... so it will take a week or so.
I did some changes to the Portal, shuffled some mods and added some text to have a clear mission statement to the outside world. It is better than the old one; I couldn't change that. Hopefully it is clear now who we are and what we do.
I added little things to the board, such as Top 10 and marquee. Things I have been studying yesterday where:
- vB Optimise 1.3.2. Ow yes. Needed!
- vS-Hide Hack Resurrection. Needed.
- Live Input. We need that definitely too.
- Enhanced Captcha Image Verification. Ow yes. Bots will soon know where to find us. Needed.
- Activity. Seems to be compatible with 3.81, though it was written for 3.7
- iSpy. No reports it is not compatible with 3.81. Yes we needs.
- Cyb stuff. We tried implementing the Cyb Paypal, but for some reason Cyb doesn't like the Satellite skin. We have a donate now in the default navbar, but not in the satellite one :). So I added it to the portal for now.
- AME2.5 Looks very neat. I am a mediaprof, so I 'd say......yeah!
- Miserable User. Yeah, as much as I hate it...*sigh* we need it.
- Visitors in Last X Hours. Doing that aws.
- Forum Stats. Yep. Needed.
- Double Post. Maybe.
- Shout. Maybe.
- iTrader 2.1.0 (Interim Release). Maybe.
- Proxy 2 Real IP. Maybe.
- V3 Arcade. Maybe <- I would love to implement a VB3 Game!
So, there is quite a lot of work that needs be done, and we will progress one step at the time. Keep 'm coming.
EDIT: O_o Captcha needed!

No ShoutBox (I beg) :p
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=201097 For the srl members apps
Mobile version!
So I can go to SRL at any time without a huge page.
(Also works for iTouch/Phone)
i quite agree. And no games either :(Quote:

They should make the marquee OnMouseOver pause.
