View Full Version : Spare-time VBulletin/Web Progammer Wanted

I have been able to poke at maintaining our forums, but . . .
Not all of my efforts work. :(

Until recently, we were using a very experienced VBulletin and
Web programmer, who at first did not charge us anything for
simple helps and installs. He feels that by doing good for
someone will eventually reward him . . . and he was right.
We later retained him financially to do other work for us on
an as-needed basis. But recently he has had several personal
and family urgencies come to play that has negated his time
to continue on with us.

On the plate now for us to perform is:

1) Upgrade from our licensed Version 2.0.3 to the latest version;

2) Maintain the various modifications to the templates, etc;

3) Correct a flaw in the member's Edit Options feature;

4) Give us some ideas on how we can take full advantage
of a new layout as sampled at http://www.amdmb.com/vb/index.php for
our forum that is at http://www.ipiu.org/forums/ .

-------------------
If you're extremely experienced with the various aspects of
html, mysql, VBulletin, and other proven coding . . . and would
be interested in coming on board with us, please send me an
email with your name and daytime phone number
to copeland@ipiu.org and I will have my contact
in the USA call you.

Best regards,

David Copeland

As of today, I have had three people email. But they have not
responded (yet) to my most important question (as posted above).

Perhaps the holidays are taking us to better moments. :)

Ouch!

We are hosted by Host Rocket. I will have to place a trouble
ticket on that one. No wonder I have missed email.

Please send to ipiu79@yahoo.com as a backup.

Thank you.

Just send me another email to ipiu79@yahoo.com . I don't
use ICQ and I don't mind calling the UK.
