Update:

Unfortunately, potential developer did not live up to expectations.

During discussions, potential developer said he was aware of a CNN app for vBulletin and when I asked to see the link, he promised the next day. Never received it (just a bunch of links to other projects).

My experience with these eLance developers is mostly the same, disappointing story:

They cannot provide a proper proposal or bid to a project.
They send many unverifiable references and claims as to expertise.
They promise the "sun, moon and stars" but cannot even deliver a few simple grains of sand.

This developer agreed to ask questions in this thread; and then after I created this thread, he kept sending emails and private messages. As you can see, they never posted here after I took the time to create the thread (and send him the link to the thread).

When will these "freelancers" learn how to simply deliver on what they agree to, even on the small details?

When will they realize that if they cannot even keep their word on some small claim or thing they agree to, we will never award a project to them?

OBTW, if anyone has an iPhone, Android, or Nokia phone and want to read the forums, you can download this app for your mobile. More than just a reader, you can also post and send PMs from your mobile app. This might be handy in a number of situations, like troubleshooting a problem where you don't have access to your desktop machine, or keeping up with forum posts while on the train or waiting in line at the store.
