The Youtube embedding is an add-on that Singh said he isn’t too worried about right now, along with the smilies…these are temp. Also, there is a “recent posts” on the home page, it’s at the top and says “New Posts”…It’s the same thing as on SMF just not in the top corner, but if you’re talking about the thing at the bottom, I don’t think VBulletin has something like that.
I talked to Singh and he said this is a temporary skin as well just so he can work out the bugs and whatnot with the site from the switch over.
