Must Have vBulletin mods?

I bought vbulletin like 10 minutes ago and I am currently installing it RIGHT NOW :). I'm so excited I cant even keep my fingers stright while posting.

What are your MUST HAVE vBulletin mods/plugins?

Thanks.

That depends on the kind of forum really.... Congrats on your new forum!

Yeap, it is a question of what kind of forum and content do you expect to have.

But, personally, for feature enhancing I would really think that most PaulM hacks are truly essential:

Miserable Users (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=121886)
Count of unread posts in the welcome box (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=123886)
Members who have visited today (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=121883)
Members who have posted today (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122422) *truly optional if you have previous one.
Who has read a thread (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122594)
Split count for most ever members and guests (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122424)

I would agree. :)




.. oh hang on, I might be biased .... ;)

I'm a bit biased too :)

I just released ICo-Content (http://www.icomotion.com/ico-content/index.html) - it may well be of benefit to you for getting the ball rolling on your new and empty forum.

Because it's literally gone live last night, I'd be very interested to hear what the exact target market (people like you) think of the concept and the price.

I can't think of any other must-have MODs - vB is feature packed as is. I would recommend spending some time on the template to make it stand out. Like vB-FAQ, it's so much nicer when you get an indiviual look.
