Just a quick update on letting you know that I’m finally happy on how element is coming along on vBulletin 4.

I have headbutted a few walls during the coding process but finally I have found a way to modify everything I want…

I’m trying to do as much as possible using CSS other than modifying the actual templates, by doing so it should make it much easier to upgrades to future versions (unless IB changes everything around again!)

I wanted to take my time on the first skin and get it right the first time other than release you…

Like many of you, I believe that the end of life for all Geek scripts is drawing near. While I have already replaced some prior Geek scripts with other alternatives or minimized their use, I thought it might help EVERYONE who is a currret or past Geek application owner to list out other alternatives that we have found to Geek applications so that if they do indeed go away people can explore other choices.

Morgan,

I’ve been a "Geek" customer for several years now and I’ve lived through the pain of the original developer having to abandon these scripts and the joy of you picking them up again and moving them forward. However, it has become clear in the last 12-18 months that you aren’t working on these scripts anymore and don’t seem to have the intention to do so or a plan on how you would do so.

Now whether this is caused by lack of time, lack of interest or health issues there are obviously one or more factors in your life…

Today vBulletin 4.01 is scheduled to be released on vbulletin.com

I really look forward these improvements:

On a side note Element skin is coming along well and should open beta testing in a few more days.

What’s up, I’m new.
