    I'm a sucker for these notification mods, here is a nice free one from vBulletin that I just saw and wanted to see if any of the vBulletin guys have tried it yet?

    Ah.. I just saw this is the "lite" version :(

    This mod looks awesome! When I move my DJ board back to vB about the only thing I'll really miss is the alerts system. Looks like this will be a nice drop in replacement. :)

    I haven't tried it yet, but if its better than our current notifications system, I'd love to give it a run. @evolution

    @cpvr I will tonight when I get home from uni :D

    I have used it on my forum, the only thing is that DBtech mods get in the way like notification wise.

    It does look good but I don't have that on my forum because I don't want it to be like facebook. Facebook is a form of social media. My forum is just a forum.

    My vBsocial Review.
    Well Brandon, I have a review for you on dealing with these vBsocial guys. It's long winded but the short of it was:

    vBsocial selling product for vb3
    i buy product
    product doesnt work for MANY people
    vbsocial owner states publicly hes removing the product from the store because of all the issues
    initially refuses to refund, tells me to wait till next update in 5+ weeks
    tells me i should have tried the lite version before paying him for the full release
    disputes
    refund

    My vBsocial Review.

    That's a shame to here @WEfail
    I never tried it because I wasn't running a vBulletin forum when I saw it.
    It's annoying when that happens, find a paid product you really like and the coder just up and leaves.

    Yea, I was more mad at the way he went off on his terms of service and no refund policy even if the product didn't work. That wasn't cool

    We had issues running it as well. @Iconic installed it and we tested it for a day. A lot of users didn't like the change either. The DB tech tagging/notification system is a lot better than this. I just wish Tapatalk would fully notify users of new visitor messages and/or Private messages. Received a few reports about users not receiving them while using Tapatalk. Anyone else having that issue?

    I agree with @WEfail on this. After using it for one weekend, I wanted to throw my phone out the window.
