The voting problem... one thing that this vBulletin software is really bad at, is hooks to the outside world. I was able to code up the IotD blog view pretty easily because it's read-only, you know, in programming, reading something is usually much more trivial than writing it. Then I wrote a queue manager which holds pending images and the posts them when I press the "publish" button.
But the first time I ran it, it logged me out and changed my user title to the default. I shit you not. This is because I used some of the vBulletin functions to post the message, but didn't fully understand what else the function needed to do first. It does a lot of things with the user, before and after posting the post...
So it's hard to write additions where a logged-in user is verified to be logged in, then the user information is used to count a vote, then back to the old forums... and it wouldn't work to have people log in twice, they wouldn't do it.
More time for coding is wot i need
