vBulletin Mods That You Must Have

Hi,

I have just started a vB forum, so I need some mods to install. Which ones do you recommend?

Thanks!

You might find some good answers here: vBulletin FAQ Forums

Good luck!

WebTemplates (WebTemplates 3.7.x: VB Integrated CMS (Content Management System) - vBulletin.org Forum) is probably my biggest must have for any forum. It saves you the trouble of having to create new php files and a new template just to create a new page wrapped in your forum's header, footer, and style. This add-on makes it really easy to create any kind of page you cause you stight HTML, or bbcode to create them making it really simple for even the newest of newbies.

Aside from that all other add-ons are depending on your specific forum type and the mood you want. I recommend the iBProArcade for most forums which adds a little fun but doesn't help add posts/content.

Post Thanks and Post Groan (used here) is pretty good too, in addition to showing your members apprecaite it also help with post bumping and the endless me too / thanks posts.

A live chatroom like Flash Chat (Darren's Script Archive - chatrooms, image galleries, applets, advanced php/mysql systems, website scripts, flash xml, ajax chat) always seems like a good addon but every forum I've seen it on/installed it on it rarely gets used.

If you gave us a little more information on what type of forum you're going to be running I'm sure you'd get better suggestions.

I have installed all of the above!

I also installed v3 Arcade, it is a nice add-on.

v3Arcade - it's great and they have alot of new features in development.

MUSY have mods for a vBulletin forum would include WebTemplates, as Dan stated above.
Also the Google/Yahoo sitemap generator. It generates a new sitemap daily and submits it to google, yahoo, ask, msn daily. Good spider food! :loveletter:
