Add ons and mods

Im just wondering what add ons and mods you have on your forum?
Do they benefit you, the members or are they just for fun?
Id like to add some, more for my members and for fun, but i dont really know whats out there and whats good, or even attractive.

 

I currently use the MGC Shoutbox, Photoplog Gallery, ibp Arcade, vB Credits and numerous minor mods such as the mood modification for vBulletin and Who's Online in the Past 24 hours. Most seem relatively useful and popular, with the arcade and shoutbox getting the most use, and the gallery useful for uploading images to my website easily.

 

OOH Im SOO doing to moods manager, installing now I would use arcade but my competition has recently uploaded this and I dont want her to think Im copying her LOL.
Can you tell me which mod is the whos online in the past 24 hours is? Ive been looking for it but unable to locate it

 

I have;

AME - The Automatic Media Embedder
Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count
GTSmiliebox - Move Smilies Below Editor
Image Resizer
Is Bot

Nothing major :p

 

This is what we use for members purposes:

Ibpro arcade
All Albums
Vbulletin Blogs
Sniper Mood Manager
Newest Threads
Album pictures forum home
Cyb Top 10 Stats

The ones for the more administration/moderation/forum side of things are countless, well around 25.

We feel all of the members focused mods are a good addition and benefit them.

 

Does any one know how to make your forums mobile friendly? I know AA is mobile friendly, so secretly hoping they let me in on the secret, but also hoping some one else might know?

 

There was a mod out there for mobile phone compatibility which come with a watered down vbulletin style. Maybe search on the .org for mobile in thread titles and all mods. We used to use it ourselves but took it down as we never had many mobile users and was more of a gimmick.

 

I think IF I got to mobile mod it would be for my benefit more than anything.

P.S: For those who have the Whos Online in the Past 24 Hours, do you use that AND Whos Online, or just Past 24 hours one?

 

Heres that mod we used to use:

Mobile Phone / iPhone / PDA Detection and Style Assignment - vBulletin.org Forum

 

Since I started my board a short while before VB4 I thought it would be useless to make myself to used to addons so I preffer to wait till vb4 is released. Since the whole source code will be changed in a short time I just don't think it is worth it.

 

I love the anon hack - let's members post as anonymously in forums i decide.

 

The must have modifications:

AME - Automatic embedding media
One touch spam ban and clean up
Automatic database backup by PaulM
Number of unread post by PaulM
Gallery add-on - to organize the built in VB picture galleries on one page

I probably have about 20 - 25 mods installed. Those are the first ones that came to find without looking at the list.

 

Site 1:
All Albums
Arrange Forums in Columns
Passive Video
Restrict Styles to Usergroup
Right Side Column
Solved Threads
vbTrash

Site 2:
Album Pictures - Forum Home
ibProArcade for vBulletin
Members who have Visited
Passive Video
ProvB - Community News Letter
SKM 404 Tracking
Spider Display
vBExperience
Welcome Headers

Other sites pretty much run the same as site 2, with the possibility of a few less hacks. All sites run vbseo and their sitemap.

 

Now, I have removed AME and added Video-Directory

 

Here's a list of a few of the ones I typically run @ default. Most of these are just products which makes things easier to deal with:
