    As the title says, if you could wish for any mod to be made, what would it be?:D

    I think I would like to see a mod that allows an automatic PM to be sent to a member upon usergroup promotion, allowing you to specify what message they receive for x promotion and so on.

    Some kind of shop for a points system that's not paid only or encrypted. Preferrably without the vB Plaza type security holes.

    I think my members would like some kind of e-card system, especially if it allowed for surprise "gifts" (say, a shower of confetti when the recipient visits the site). There's much that could be done with template conditionals and the dynamic announcements, but it isn't really meaningful if it's automated.

    One that would banish those who post SPAM entirely from the web. Such a modification would be absolutely fantastic! :D

    I use the vBcredits free option of vBCommerce as my shop for the points system. It's been great so far! :D

    I use that 'facebook gifts' mod on vBulletin.org for gifts which the members can send each other via their profiles. :D


    For my 'wish mod', I'd love a way to have pictures sent from mobile devices and post in a particular forum, album or thread.

    A way to drag and drop vBulletin styles. Like if you wanted to move parts of the skin around you drag and drop it to differant locations.

    I wish there was a way to quickly convert Wordpress styles to vB... think of all the templates we'd suddenly have access to.

    There is one with photopost although I am not sure if its functionality is very good.

    The mod that would give you possibly everything you NEED when you first start
    a forum, that would come with tabs, a shoutbox, top stats, usergroup colors, vbplaza,
    or any other good points system. Just something that would get you started out on
    the right foot. You get it? Easy forum navigation and all.

    Pay-to-Post sort of mod for vBA Links!

    Or at least a Pay-to-Boost your position on the links list for vBA Links. :)

    I'll be trying to hack my way into the last one. :)

    I think you can get that pay to register to work with posting stuff.
    Thats if you know HTML, PHP and all that.

    If I'm not mistaken, there were a lot of problems with the Pay to Register mod, weren't there?

    Maybe it's been fixed, but that's the last I remember about it...

    vBcredits isn't paid or encrypted last time I looked, and they do pretty well

    What would my wish be? A population mod! Something that posts (automatically) in a way that people don't know it's a bot or mod doing it. Yeah, I know, it is too much to ask for, right?

    As far as I know, it's vB Commerce and Customiser that are encrypted, which are the shop mods for vB Credits. The suggestion you made... is basically every admin's dream situation. Instant big board with a million dollars advertising revenue!

    One that refills my coffee cup for me. Guess I'll need to buy myself a Honda Asimo one day. Either that of have one of my kids drop out of high school to get coffee at my beck and call.

    I really wish there was a good download system. Quota's, usergroup permissions, etc... I have yet to find a good one. RW:Downloads did a good job for a while, but that project has been dropped and has become outdated.

    That would be so great, Michelle! I love browsing through WordPress themes, because there are so many wonderful ones. A great variety, too.

    I vote for getting the kids out of school - would be cheaper for u.

    My idea for a great mod would be a stock market mod - not working of real stock markets but where admins could create their own stock and stock prizes go up and down depending on whose buying and selling. Kind of like Be a tycoon on facebook.

    Not really, if one drops out of school than they will most likely stay at home until they are 30 and cost me about $10,000 a year in support. Considering my oldest is 17 and the youngest is 13, that is between $130,000 and $170,000 dollars over that time. If they stay in school, they can get good jobs and then buy me good Yule gifts every year.

    Would be an interesting addon especially for Forex sites.
