This is great - now I'm more certain of the reasons why I've chosen VLD over a heap of other software titles. It's very necessary for the site owner to know how to maintain and upgrade his store (dating site). Thanks for the summary of instructions. Melike very much.

Have only tested those two so far. I don' like having too many mods because thy have to be redone at each update...

A lot of mod authors may not of upgrade to 2.5.5. I know I did not, so I won't be testing for 2.5.5. However, in many cases if you know html and css, you can take a mod and easily adapt it to the version you are using, especially if the version is within the same 2.5.x family.

I did that for the current version I'm using (2.5.3). There were mods written for previous versions of vldP that I got to work with my version.   I installed a test 2.5.3 site, and played with the mod until I got it to work for the version I'm using. This won't work for all, especially if the coding is related to php, but it is worth a try if the mod is something you really want for your site. Once you have tested, it won't hurt to ask specific questions related to your version of vldP and the author may know the answer off the top of their head.

Your jumping the gun abit Mr Seeme101, i was asking a general question, ofcourse i would thank them if i had used it, even paid them, but certain people are not forth comming nor helpfull.

If you want to Alienate me infront of everyone, that is your proagtive & not very professional either.

It would have been more simple to put up an upto date mod list that people could buy from than put up a list that is out of date, not every one is a coder on here & not everyone gets help on here.

i ask for mods in your ticket system & nobody cares to make them, so i end up in forums asking questions & i get hostile answers back.

How can a dating site/social network site NOT have all members online? Not have Last login, Not have Ideal Match with Age drop downs,   Not have member Status, i could go on with this list, but u have this list already & all the codes, why not make a mod section where members could buy mods
You give us the bare bones insult us, attack us & edit our posts  what a cheek!

Calm down. The mods were put together by various different people over a period of time and then collected together by Seeme so we could see them easily in one place. They are not 'out of date' as you seem to think. Most of them worked on the last version, but as the new version has only just been released we can't expect all those people who created them to update them immediately, and many don't upgrade as each version comes out anyway for all kinds of reasons.
This is a friendly and close knit community, and you need a softly softly approach here to get the best results. Everyone does their best to help each other when they can.

There is a distinctive culture difference on the forum from when I first join. I think you will get different feedback from those who have been members for a while v.s. those who are newer (less than a year). If you seen the forum when I first join, you would realize it has made leaps and bounds. This Tutorial section did not even exist when I first started and I could count on one hand how many free mods there were compared to now. 

I think old school members have a certain trial an error mentality. I'm not a programmer either, but I can look at code and try my best. Believe me, I do a lot of copy, pasting and stealing code from one template to put in another.  There have been times I would spend hours, even days trying to figure things out and would be 90% there but could not get it to work. When I  turn to someone who could put me over the hump...they saw i made an effort and did not mind helping. It has been the same when submitting help tickets. I would show vlad the code I was working on,  he saw I made an effort and would provide me with the missing piece of the puzzle.

Again, my recommendation is to take a mod you like, try to figure it out on a test site. If you run into a snag, than ask. If you just say something like "this mod does not work with 2.5.5" you probably won't get much feedback. But if you take a mod, try it and are specific about why you could not get it to work, you are likely to get some help.  But if you don't try, you won't get much sympathy or help from those who have been down this road already.

Of course paying someone to do it for you is the other option. I know at times I chose this option because I felt the mod was important or I tried to figure it out and couldn't so I had to go the  paid route.  Right now I only know of two ways for custom mods: vldP help ticket and contacting Ramil at vldCrowd.

Then again there is the other side of the coin. I have helped people, did research for 20, 30 minutes or longer and not even a thank you. They take the time spent for granted. This happen enough, that my enthusiasm has wavered over time. I don't have time to waste and to spend it to help someone with zero gratitude is no fun.

That does happen. There have been a number of mods that Radioact has created over the years and have become part of the core in next update to vldPersonals.

radiocat Can you help on the subject of youtube mod please?
