The whole issue seems "messy" but i for one certainly thank you for the mod as it stands.

Same here..Jaxel made this for free and i for one want to thank him personally for all the time and effort that was put into this mod...it would be fantastic though if it was allowed to be carried on ..

If any developers want to reverse engineer jaxel's mod, improve it and keep it up to date with vb4's evolution I'm willing to pay for at least 3 licenses. I'd bet there are other forum owners that would do the same.

I am one of those others that would like to see this mod continue, and will also contribute to whom ever picks it up and runs with it. More so if the increase the functionality and add in the major video game Media sites.

Is it a complete rewrite of their horrible engine? Does it undo all the completely illogical design flaws in VB4? I doubt it. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice...

You know who didn't treat their customers like garbage? Jelsoft.

What exactly happened that they treated you like garbage? I agree there is a disconnect between them and their customers.

Unfortunately, there is no real alternative.

The only people you are hurting is those who use your modification, what have they done wrong ?

It will have an effect if more and more people switch.

The only reason I stick to VB is due to the mods and custom tuning I can get. Mod writers like this gentlemen are what make VB great. They work around your needs and with you.

No offense, but you don't exactly do that. Every time I have asked you for help you tell me it isn't what you intended. When I ask other mod writers, they go out of their way to help me get what works best for me. I would prefer to support that attitude and if he goes others will certainly follow.

In the long run, if the modification community abandons vBulletin, it will hurt IB's ability to sell product based on that aspect.

Any money you or anyone else has donated for this mod is exactly that: a DONATION. This mod is free, thus you should expect to get the support from this mod as if it were free... this is not a paid modification so you should not expect the level of support you would get from another mod that you may pay hundreds of dollars for. $50 is not a payment to use this mod, its just the ability to legally remove the copyright notice from the footer.

Well said and I agree.

On a more serious note, I am seriously disappointed that this mod is no longer supported. I use this script for 2 main sections of my site (music videos and documentaries) and without said sections my site will be dealt a big blow.

I too, as many others have stated, will be willing to provide support (in the form of a reasonable donation) to anyone that will continue this mod on.

[VBUsers]

i installed it on my forum but i have a custom skin. The links to manage the mod arent installed. how can i fix that?

[Webbstre]

I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but considering that this mod is apparently no longer supported (unless pulling it out of the graveyard changed that?) I figured I should present an alternative modification. Unfortunately it isn't free, but I'm looking at vbtube as a potential replacement for this. I'm one of those people who needs support because I don't plan on making any major CMS/forum switches (again) in the forseeable future.

No offense is meant to Jaxel, as I have been one of the people who has used this modification since the first version went up, but if this isn't going to be supported I think people need to know what alternatives are out there.

[Juggernaut]

Webbstre, Can all the media from this mod be imported into vbtube?

[Webbstre]

As of August, there wasn't, but I'm not sure if that has changed or not. I'll ask and see if there was any progress on it.

[Juggernaut]

Thank you.

[Jaxel]

Just because I am no longer supporting this mod doesnt mean you have to stop using it...

Except for the foreign language characters issue, there are no obvious bugs... I will fix any bugs that do arise...

However, what this means is that there will be no new FEATURES.
