Cheers Pete, just one small heads up though, I wouldn't post the version numbers of mods you're installing just incase one comes out with a major flaw in a particular version that can be exploited. It's the same reason phpBB removed version numbers from the forum footers a few years back, because "hackers" (and I use that term very lightly indeed) were exploiting particular versions and it was easy to find forums running those versions with a quick Google search.

Just a heads up, We're looking at carrying out a major update of vB4 which will require the site to be shut down for a few hours whilst the update is done. This is currently penciled in for Saturday the 26th October
