Some useful vB mods...

[Lazy Bastard]

The following are some things I think would be quite nice to have at the forums. Let me know what you think.

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=194813 - separate sticky and normal threads

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=202949 - built-in Google translator

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=201211 - Proxy to real IP (iffy, but useful)

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=211100 - share cookies across domains

Added all of them, but the CES Cookie extension seems to be dodgy and not work.. At least for me.

[Lazy Bastard]

Yeah, it doesn't seem to work for me either. Still, awesome @ the others. They're quite useful. Thanks, dude.

[edit: the translator seems to not work either...]

[Ace]

Whoops, fixed it.
Also moved the translator selector to a less annoying place in threads.

I see you've made a few other modifications as well. Looks nice.

I few more things that would be cool to have:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=218216 - vBSEO LiveStats: On-Demand Search Engine Performance Reports

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=206169 - vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap Generator

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=213225 - Dion Dev Shoutbox v2.1 (AJAX)

...unless someone knows of a better shoutcast mod...

[Ace]

About that shoutbox.. I remember some forums (GSCentral specifically comes to mind) having extremely high CPU usage because of those. To the point, where their host even demanded they remove it. Are we sure GSHI would be fine with such a thing?

Anyway, I could try adding these in a few days after I get some things done.

[Lazy Bastard]

Good question. I suppose we can monitor usage. Also, it prohibits unregistered members from using it, and we can probably set a limit to how rapidly users can enter things...
