    For those that don't know about Commbull, it was pretty much the only solution to send out decent newsletters for quite a while. It was always a decent add-on but had it's quirks. I forget how much it cost but the fee was nominal, I used it on my board for a while but removed it mainly because not every got the newsletter despite the system saying it had been sent.

    From the email:
    Hack on vB.org: Commbull (Community Bulletin) 5.1 - vBulletin.org Forum

    yes it is, when everyone receives the newsletter.

    I'm assuming that it works with 3.8.4? If so, I'm going to install and give it a go.

    Significant userbase going to vb4 making it obsolete?? Would that be the reason, primarily, for the move?

    or maybe the support to fix those quirks?

    Thanks Big D!!

    Dunno, but I installed it and sent out my first newsletter. Even added extra text and an image (or three).

    Worked like a charm. I received a copy myself, and am pretty proud of it. :D

    WOW! I have always admired this modification and always wanted to purchase it... but never did. Now that it's being released free, you can certainly count on me using it. :woohoo:

    I would guess he hasnt the time to port it to vb4, so has decided the time is right to make it freely available for those who do.
