Features?

[blacknight]

As this site runs vBulletin, which has to be the best forum software on the planet!, I was wondering if anyone wanted me to add any other features...

I'm open to suggestions

From just joining I can already see you have all the features I like in a Forum, the urls in sigs, usernames for skype etc and the blog feed.

Is the forum Adsense sharing like DP? I need to look around more here to see if I can add any suggestions but it looks well to me

[blacknight]

It's not adsense sharing at the moment. The vbulletin mod for that was taken offline around the time I went to implement it

i tested this mod on my vbulletin before > http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...hlight=inferno

This once added to your forum allows you to connect to any RSS feed you desire, once set up the system will automatically post data from the RSS feed into threads within a specified forum.

Previews are available at the bottom, and an FAQ is built into the admin controls since I know not everyone will understand how to set up the options. Also an example to use a BBC UK News rss feed is below

I mentioned it before...i quite like it. I created a News Desk forum which received feeds from 4 music sites. That mod is for 3.5.4, i'm not sure if it will work on this release.

Ah well sure no worries its not as if I made over $1 with adsense sharing forums.

I must check my adsense stats. I know I've made a small bit, but I've no idea how much

I'll have to check.

There are always changes between versions of vBulletin, though the mods I already installed here all seem to be working fine

[Cormac]

it's a bit of a disastor when mods don't work on upgrades....
i tired to install the "latest blog" mod that you used but it's only compatiable with 3.5.2 as far as i can remember. I'm trying to find the mod on vb.org at the moment to clarify....

[blacknight]

Which version are you running?

I had to bludgeon the original code a small bit to get it working as far as I remember

[Cormac]

I presume this is the one you used?

It's the magpierss one...although i think there is another variant of it which uses a different 3rd party aggregrator.

I'm using 3.5.4
