What vBulletin hacks would you like to see developed

Your wish, any vBulletin Hack ?

Just out of curiosity, what kind of vBulletin hacks would you like to see in the future ?
If I could have any vBulletin hack right now, it would have to be one that could integrate facebook with vBulleitn better.
A friend has some people working on a vBulletin hack right now that will allow facebook users to register and signup in the vBulletin forum in 1 click

I think with facebook opening up the source, the marketing abilities are endless as to how we can use facebook.

So what would your hack be ? :smiley_

I like that Facebook idea.

I'd like to see a vBulletin API of sorts, to make it easier to display data from vB on pages outside of it, similar to the old IPB SDK

I would like to see better RSS feeds, where all the posts are available in the RSS format. This is one thing that I feel vBulletin lacks, because the RSS feed hack had installed on phpbb did a much better job and this is also some thing many of my members complain about.

I'd really like to see a new 'vbulletin garage' type of modification. There is a guy I've been talking to who is making one, that has an easy interface, and tons of options. He hasn't finished it yet however.

The vBulletin Facebook aplication sounds like a great idea, it would help alot of vbulletin owners out there.

Me personally I would like to see a threaded PM system (similar to gmail emails). Fingers crossed the vBulletin Devs are working on it for 4.0.

ooOooo I just seen this thread at vb.org about a Facebook vBulletin app
Facebook vBulletin Application - vBulletin.org Forum

and they link to this app.
Facebook | The Skewl Campus

More Info:
When you combine the best social networking website with the best forum platform around, managed and developed by the movement/company called SKEWLBUOY, the result is a significant and powerful portal we call "The Skewl Campus".

Experience facebook's social network with the detailed functions, templates and services of a highly customized vBulletin platform.

Interact and share your views on a wide array of topics with your friends and other posters.....also socialize and develop relationships with other facebook users.

Write posts with embedded pictures/videos, smilies, polls, quotes and much more....

This is the perfect melting pot for facebook users to discuss, debate, promote, review, educate or just lay back and lounge.

A summary and link to your new posts will be displayed in your facebook newsfeed to notify your friends to view and join in the forum discussion.

A nicely designed facebook canvas page has just been created to keep you up to date with activity on the Campus without leaving facebook.

Links to threads you created are displayed on the narrow column of your facebook once again demonstrating the seamless integration achieved with The Skewl Campus.

All you need to do is add the application, click the link below, choose your login name and you are free to post your way into oblivion. You dont need to fill in any sign up forms...

This is differently something I'm going to look into, I've already sent an email off to my friend that was working on a vbulletin facebook app.

Neat, I think the hardest part would probably be tying the vB and Facebook APIs together.

Keep us posted, Brandon.

It's a tough time for new hacks. We are eagerly awaiting for the first opportunity to see vBulletin 3.7 code. Even though we just released vBPicGallery 10.0.5, we anticipate having to recode in the very near future.

a better banning option would be nice like auto ban type of thing that you add certain words from your acp and if some one uses same exact words on the board will be ban for a limit.
second there should be a way to verify e-mail adress in contact us link to keep the junk away, right now anyone can put a fake e mail adress and fill your mail box and wwaste your time

How about a hack which makes the first post act like a page of wiki and rest as normal posts i.e. the first post can be modified by different members and thus would act in a way like a wiki does.

If some thing like this already exists, please do let me know.
