What is this stuff?

Addons are custom features that you can add to your Vanilla forum. Addons are created by our community of developers and people like you!

These addons are for people who downloaded and set up their own Vanilla forum. Compare your downloaded version with the version requirements on the right.

If your Vanilla forum is hosted at VanillaForums.com, this addon may already be installed there.
