I went and ahead and bought and installed the blog addition to vBulletin. It should appear as a link on the navbar within the forum. (note the link is wrong from the Mainpage (http://www.free-dc.org) I haven't figured out that yet).

By default Moderators and Admins etc can blog, others can't. If anyone would like to blog, post here and I can enable it

(not to admins, you just need to add the usergroup bloggers to the user)

I haven't had much of a chance to use it so I'd appreciate some volunteers to try it out :)

I've been looking at the next version of vBulletin due out soon and it has some really nice Features (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249460) I may go ahead and upgrade even though it's still in Beta...

Not much use...

I've enabled it for all users for now...

I'll try and keep mine up to date as I develop the stats.

I'm actually having quite a lot of fun doing some new stuff, now I've got over the 'hump' of getting the data all in a timely manner.

I now parse the Sob stats for instance in about 30 seconds total each time, thats for downloading the new data, parsing through it, updatinf or inserting new data for users /teams , ranking users,teams, users within teams and doing milestones and movement...

Can the Blog handle Video or just still images:Pokes:
And Or is there a size limit

I don't think it will do video natively but you could always do it via an html link anyway :)

There is a size limit, but its fairly high and I can always up it for you :thumbs:
