Poll as Statusicon

This simple template modification will provide an alternative graphical representation of a poll if you have post icons disabled. If a thread is moved or locked, then the normal moved or locked thread icon will be displayed.

View screenshots to give an example of this, it’s a mock-up of how it’d look on vbulletin.com.

Definition and Reference on Forer

The Skeptic’s Dictionary wrote:
The Forer effect refers to the tendency of people to rate sets of statements as highly accurate for them personally even though the statements could apply to many people.

Forer effect – The Skeptic’s Dictionary – Skepdic.com

Forer is the guy who said that, but it’s a known fact… people read the Astrology and think it is applied directly to them, but in fact, having 12 statements that can apply to each individual is utopia…

But, as we want to make money, we all read the astrology to see if it’s our own day, or year in the chinese zodiac… :grin_Halo:

So that’s it, we provide that kind of information to any member willing to link one with the other!

Original work and take-over for this tool.

At the origin, Trafix from vb.org did the whole work, but life took him for the best he was worth, and in our sadness, he died the year after, in 2006.

in 2007, Todd, from URLJet.com took a right to rework Trafix engine and release it here: vBulletin Election Booth – vBulletin.org Forum , but without any proper property right on the script, it was requested that the engine cease distribution.

in fact, it’s fun, i own all of Trafix’s work because i requested it from him while we were working on vb.org both of us, and he was about to leave when i had this right… but i never had the time to refurbish his work.

This week, i had contact with [user]URLJet[/user], who was actually a member here but i never noticed… and he granted me the right on his engine so i can recode it, distribute it and support his clients for it.

Good then… in the next weeks that’s what we will re-evaluate, the entire structure of this engine…

Thanks Todd !

The cost for each module…

The tickers are all part of a single engine which is called the « nex_ticker », and they all run the same way, so they can be integrated to the same forum without conflicts.

These tickers are all packaged with one default pack of images, and each additional pack of images can be purchased seperately, there are different costs depending on the complexity of the work done on them, and you can even request new exclusive custom packs of images that our in-house designer will do for you *(at her own rate$ )…

At first, each ticker is sold 50$, not so high, considering the usage you will make from it… 🙂

The installation on special servers may be required as the engine need to control everything on image creation, and you need « ImageMagick » to be installed on your server before doing so… this can be handled as the installation is included in the price.

The New Family Tickers Engine is ready and prompt to be released in our new packages.

Due to general requests, we’re releasing some of our new products in the next weeks.

The first one is a « Pregnancy Ticker », where members with the proper permissions will be able to produce their own ticker that will display their due date schedule. Members can display these tickers anywhere they go on the net, and the ticker will update daily without the need to interact with it.

vbMates and vbPals to be merged

Our new system to come, the Meeting Ads system is to be a complete solution for any meeting place, with privacy, intimacy, sharing and more…

As we already own the vbMates and the vbPals from MadeByMary, we decided it was a better solution to merge them into our new system instead of releasing everything seperately and miss the point of a complete engine. So in the next weeks we will be working this complete system to become the best solution ever, and we will also have an import script for the older versions of MadeByMary’s work.
