Step by steps? Where should I start?

[Brainwrek]

This is a broader expansion on my previous post about which Navbar hack to use.

I'm noticing as I read through all the various hacks that many of them could interfere with one another. SO... That leads to my questions.

(1) Considering that I will be using vBa CPMS, vBa Gallery, and vBa Links, what ...in your opinion... are the coolest/most essential vBulletin hacks that will compliment these?

(2) In what order should these hacks be installed so that I don't break anything?

BTW...I know this is subjective and everyone might have a different opinion, but I look forward to seeing some solutions that have worked for all of you.

Their are many types of things to look for even using vBadvance CMPS cause I saw a simular but much more complicated version called www.vbportal.com & as for vB Gallery I would wait on that one until they make an upgrade or u can check www.telecorn.de make sure u compare service and usablity before u purchase anything.

Thank you for your reply.

I've already decided that I am using vBa CPMS, vBa Gallery, and vBa Links. I've spent weeks researching all the CMS/portal options out there and I believe this is the best solution. It is not 100% perfect, but I've read these forums quite a bit and I see that Brian updates his scripts very regularly and his support seems to be second to none.

SO...I'm not looking for a different solution...just tips on how to maximize my site's offerings and advice on how to sidestep some potential headaches I might encounter in setting it up.

thanks.

1). That's really up to you and what hacks you think will help with your users' experience.
2). Shouldn't matter what order they're installed in.
