    Started out with great communication. Said work was near done and wanted milestone released ($300.00) I released the money. He appologized for some family problems, etc causing delay. I've tried several times in the last few weeks to contact him, it's like he vanished. But..I come over here and see he logs in/checks in to freelancer everyday. Seems like a nice guy, don't know what happened. I did hire someone else that did a great job, more than half the price and did it the day he was awarded the project.

    Project Description: I have a vbulletin forum. I'm having problems linking the new logo to the website.forum, also having trouble trying to clean up/design a home page for the forum.

    You will be bidding on a total of 5 projects:Project #1 - I have a rush job, for adding Magento to my existing web site / community. Would need magento installed, and configured, Payment Gateway setup, and Integrated with vBulletin.Project #2 - vBulletin website with a vBulletin 4.1 theme that needs to be ported over to vBulletin 4.2A theme has already been designed .. but I am not fully satisfied with about (25%) of the design. I need someone with excellent graphic skills, CSS, HTML5, Reactive Web Design and vBulletin knowledge so that you can redesigned the theme in certain areas to make it look and function as one unique theme, so that the entire theme flows together as one.I need a vBulletin developer with web design skills who is able to setup a unique and attractive user browsing experience. Site should flow together nicely as a community site for the market it represents. vB Modifications can be added at your discretion to increase the user commitment and activity. I need the site to be productive, unique, and continue to bring back users daily. You will be responsible for creating a way to integrate this into the theme/site through design and development. You will be responsible for making this site the BEST of the BEST in its niche market, while giving it the look & feel appropriate to its target audience.Other things to do:- Reactive Web Design! - theme should function on computer, laptop, tablet, and even smartphones.- Social Site Integration to promote threads, posts, articles, blogs, etc on facebook, twitter, google+, etc- Google Adwords Integration/Setup- A way to increase awareness for new registration for new guests (jQuery overlay, or 'guest reminder registration')- Increase interactivity within the site via front page portal and sidebars (users online, recent shares, recent likes, recent threads, advertisement, etc.)- Improve navigation so everything is easy to find (a lot of this has been done)- SEO knowledge to improve search engine rankings (tag cloud placement, threads, posts, blogs, etc.)- Mobile theme to resemble color layout, look & feel (see Reactive Web Design)- I have a partial jQuery menu system in place and also a slider box that needs to be changed to a different animation. I can provide you with a link to a jQuery slide box that I would prefer in place of the current one.This is not a job for an amateur developer / designer. The current theme itself is already a very unique design (CSS, HTML5, jQuery, etc). I am looking to expand on the current design where the other designer / developer could not accelerate.I look forward to your PM, Bid, and working with you! I will respond with dev environment login.Project #3 - I need a graphic designer who can quickly recreate and improve 3 existing .PSDs for me.Overall design of the theme has already been determined. Colors are selected, along with layout of header/footer, etc. The .PSD just needs to be improved in quality of design for my target audience, along with some modernization of theme look and feel.Project #4 - Create a custom Magento theme to match vB theme.ALL aspects of Magento will need to be created, so it matches entirely with site (site runs forum software and will need to work together/integrated with Magento) Project #5 - Upgrade my vB forum to the newest version. Include all modifications made. Most importantly is a video modification that hosts thousands of videos. This would need to work as it does today. Video link will change due to new modification so .htaccess and redirects will need to be setup to handle the new location and notify search engines of the change.Backups should be created before official upgrade. A test run upgrade will need to be performed to ensure everything works before the live upgrade.Please provide timelines and 3 milestones (50%, 25%, 25% upon completion) Thank you

    I have several vBulletin websites on my server and with clients. I am in need of someone who specializes in vBulletin to handle ongoing maintenance work on an irregular basis. The first project will be for a site that we are just about to move to a new server and are getting a few complaints about folks not being able to post. I haven't even had time to find out what version it is much less look at what's going on with it. I intend to move it tomorrow which could lead to this being very time sensitive. Please reply only if you have extensive knowledge of vBulletin and are US based. I will not work with coders who are not native English speakers but could consider a UK based coder if I think it's worth the time difference. I'm on the east coast and I really prefer someone closer to me so west coast coders better be up early in the morning!As I'm looking for expertise, I do not mind paying a higher per hour cost but you have to prove to me that you have that expertise.

    We are looking to use the vBulletin Forum/CMS software to provide subscription based access to video content. vBulletin currently supports a number of payment gateways and includes API access to connect with unsupported payment gateways. We would like a payment gateway written to allow us to use the built in purchase process in vBulletin with an Intuit Merchant Services account. In addition to accepting one-time payments, we require the plugin to support a subscription model with monthly payments. A successful payment will result in the user being added to a group which provides them access to certain forums and CMS content. An unsuccessful payment should result in the user account being removed from those groups. We would also like to establish a relationship with the developer so that the gateway can be updated to support new versions of vBulletin as they are released. Ideally, we would like the project to be open source covered by the GPL so that we can share the code with the vBulletin community, however that is not a requirement. We are currently running vBulletin 4.2 on top of Apache v2.2.23 and PHP v5.3.19. The vBulletin servers are hosted on Amazon Web Services virtual servers.

    I would like someone to install the Thank-O-Matic 1.2.5 mod on my SMF 1.1.11 forum (Simple Machines Forum) which is using a custom theme (themes called 2ExtremeBlue which is a freely available one). I have tried using the auto-installer but it doesn't show me the thanks button even when enabled in the admin back end, I'm guessing this is because of the use of a theme and not a big job at all for someone who knows what they are doing, but not sure how to do it myself!
