• Who has viewed me is a function found only in $$$ scripts. User is not only able to see who has viewed his profile, but also when and how many times. So he can easily understand that repeating visitors are much interesting for him.

• The nice, very clear in different background on listings design, for all featured members, will be a sure reason for them to pay to become featured members. Featured members also appear in random in front page and in the top of every listing’s page. Also the fact that there are so many configuration per usergroup, it’s a reason to add many subscriptions with different access level.

  http://www.yourdomain.com/forums then the /vbmates directory must be under this (/forums).

Reference: vbMates by Mary – vBulletin.org Forum

The late discussions with Maria were kind and friendly, i like greek women… they know where they go 🙂

btw, here is her Rights Transfer note:

you have to understand that the CEO of nexialys.net, it’s me, nexia.. 🙂

And by the time we release this suite of products, upgraded and re-featured for vB 3.8.x, we plan to deal the ownership of the rest of the collection by Mary.

Because i can not satisfy everybody’s tastes… i’m not going to modify the style thoroughly, making it completely different from the original vB style, because i want the site to be quickly upgradable, and i want it to be recognizable by all vB owners.

Btw, we have a demo forum for you to see each style we release, so you can have a look on it. All the style alterations we make here are on-the-fly with a plugin, and i usually release these alterations… for your pleasure.

And for the curious, vbEnhancer never edit the templates on the go, SO you can upgrade your style or vB without fear!

Ok, these stats are wrong… hum, no they are right, but…

As this site is about tests, features and commercial tools to enhance your site, the stats are pointless in the way that these posts and users count are related to all these usages…

example, we have a demo of Ico-Content (the old one) in a hidden forum, for demonstration… that forum contains about 1000 threads that are not visible to users, and each of these threads posters are registered in the users database… like 500 users who are virtually related to users on answers.yahoo.com…

But mainly, what makes all these posts and users who are not visible, is that we receive here the archives of old forums we merge with vbEnhancer.com . Each time we take-over the work of a coder who was owner of a website, we add all this website with ImpEx so we can support the old stuff and the users do not have to re-register again and again… (you surely had to go thru this once!)

Oh, and we have RSS Feeds from a range of vBulletin resources, to help people find what they are searching for…

So that explains why we have a high postcount without having a thread to show in many forums.

you may notice a major lack of screenshots in these threads… the server was moved and the paths for each files are lost, so i have to recollect everything…

will be done when we re-open the site!

open minded, but narrowed in the execution, i want to hear from the people…

you have a project, let’s talk about it!

A lot… ok, may i say A LOT of comments came to me in the last 2 weeks of silence this site had to face… people all around the world (not hard, 4 persons from 4 different countries) are asking me « why ?! »…

The site was closed, and i had no direct plan to re-open it because i had enough of the stupid games some guys are playing with vBulletin… business, coding, hacking, translation, blah blah. i have enough of it.

btw, i had some fight with an anonymous asshole who threatened me with a legal pursuit about some copyright i was supposely breaking/infringing. After some lawyer of my taking action directly about this situation, it was obvious that we were facing a pro-justice hero who thought he was representing « Utilitarianism« … (pushing me in front of a court even without proofs)

The case was unclear, i had to wait for 2 weeks (the time this site was down) to have an end to it, and by that period of time, i was in reflection to see where i was going with vBulletin.

Sure i have enough of this, i have a lot of work to do to make a living of my work, and i can not always fight or debate on what is good or bad… i’ve already given up at vb.org because as you can see in the public forums, what is discussed the most is not enhancements but rules and services… So i was to give up entirely on vBulletin, because i think there is more than just vB in life, we can easily find something more constructive to do on the net than fight.

So i do not give up… for a time, this site will live, and IF things go positively, i’ll keep it running and will provide more work, service and more.

In the next days i’ll use 2 hours of my days to finish updating what is already stored on the site… There is a files repository for hacks that are already commercial, they will be supported. That’s all for now. If there are some interested clients, why not, welcome. But i’m not answering anymore paid requests, because i have no more time to it, UNTIL another coder answer them.

I’m not abandoning here, i’m supporting the site until i can hire some coders to answer paid requests, and i continue updating the hacks that are taken-over here… i’ve done a tremendous job taking over these hacks, i am not abandoning all of that just after i started.

So be it, we’re not closed, we’ll live again – with your help and support.

when you buy a dev-key, you also buy a forum management… it’s not against vb license, you do not have access because of your purchase, you have access due to your level… it’s a privilege.

you have control over the threads in that forum, you are the only person to be able to post new threads in the main chamber.

each sticky is an announcement, each normal thread is a release. there is no ambiguity,
