    Hi guys

    I need to setup a forum with some specific things on it

    some of those things include:

    1.) a good spam-prevention
    2.) something like "last blog post by this user" on DP, but with ability to also post an image there
    3.) customized personal pages for users (something in "view user's profile", which will point to a new page with user's custom inputs which will include images and text and will be customizable by the user)
    4.) ability to show someting like "recent 5 posts on our forums" on wherever i like.

    There are more to this, so please PM me for full specifications which i have right now.

    I'm willing to pay for the job. Please PM me ONLY if you have good experience with doing scripting jobs like this (i guess PHP and SQL strong knowledge is a must).
    It is well expected that i will add some more specifications time after time, and you should be able to do those .. so please PM me only if you're experienced and are sure that you can handle the job.

    Why dont you just buy a vbulletin licence? That is what DP uses. You can choose from a owned or leased licence. I brought a owned licence and it cost me $180.

    it's actually 160, and yes i can buy it if needed

    however, i'm not sure if it can do the things i want?

    are there lot of free addons available around for vbulletin so i can choose from ?

    Thanks

    Go Vbulletin. You won't regret it.

    Most of the things you mentioned are free hacks on vbulletin.org.
