[QUOTE="Michael Morris, post: 1222151, member: 87"] Ok, I've been working for 2 months to mod Post Nuke into allowing the inclusion of the drop down menus seen on the Dusk site ([url]www.thedusksetting.com[/url]). I've asked Russ allow me to implement them there. Now the next trick is to implement them here - I'm analysing VBulletin's code, but I can't download it to run a seperate version on my home system to test the hack. This reduces me to making educated guesses on what to change, backing up the original PHP file, implementing them and seeing what happens. The worst that could happen is the page will freeze or refuse to load unexpectedly. The messages themselves won't be affected unless you are caught sending one at the same time I switch a PHP file. The longest possible downtime due to this would be 3 minutes. Of course a better solution is for me to get a version of VBulletin 3.0 I can test locally, and if this is possible I would prefer to do these tests locally. Even after the tests are done, there is a slight possibility of service disruption. I don't need admin status to conduct these changes - they are all code side and only require the FTP access I have now to conduct and implement. Anyway, I welcome feedback on this from all who will be affected. [/QUOTE]
