Hi-

Brad is correct as we requested the thread to be deleted mostly do to another user being rude. The hack is workable but has two bugs that make the hack work at 95%. There is a work around for the bugs. If you would like this hack as I believe the two bugs are permission based but I can't find them. I will one day release the hack as it is great. If you would like the hack in the current state (I offer no support). You may PM me with your email address and I will dig it up. The bugs are; that it won't allow attachments until an admin edits and when it calling on quickreply it duplicates the post for some reason.

Take care

Maybe this is my mistake. I thought the author of the mod was tnguy3n.

Didn't you have an anonymous posting hack on here at one time?


By the way, I live in Iowa too!

[tnguy3n]

Yay, more Iowans on the board now. Boofy is also from Iowa.

As for the hack, it's a custom hack created for a site ages back. Maybe it has a little problem with some new versions of vBulletin. I think It'd work fine if AJAX feature disabled in Quickreply.

He is as the original thread stated a month ago! tnguy3n was hired for this hack for his knowledge.

Sorry but you are less than half correct. You were hired to create this hack for vBulletin v.3.5.1, which never fully worked, as you were fully aware when we discussed this. The quickreply bug wasn't the big deal. What was a big deal was the attachment bug, but you abandoned the project without completing the work. This is why I released it on this board with the caveates, hoping someone would like to pick up where you dropped the ball. Then the hack could be available for anyone in the community to use. Without the bugs worked out, I was left with an incomplete job. You were fully aware of the attachment bug at that time but you simply would not work out the bugs.

Since the attatchments were 75% of why this custom hack was requested, this left me in a tight spot. You also did not respond to a few voicemails and emails of concern (that I can dig up if needed). I did not even hear back from you when I offered to pay you more money to fix the bugs, even though I had already paid you the agreed-upon amount for the entire job. (Lesson learned on payment in advance, but I'd never run into this before after 3 years of working with coders from vBulletin.org!)

In my eyes and those of my client that you were doing work for, you simply "took the money and ran" when the hack got to hard to complete! We told you that day that we would gladly give you a hearty bonus on top of the amount that you wanted and all we wanted was a working hack - what I venture to say most paying clients would have wanted!

In releasing the hack on the board before, my intention was not to air this dirty laundry. The original post had none of this background - just gave credit to the coder for the work that you did do. The only reason I am putting this out here now is because you don't seem to have a clue as to the position you put me and my client in. ("Wave to Mike"???) Since you didn't respond to my emails and voicemails when I tried to resolve this with you privately, I am instead posting it here.

I'd dig up all my emails and find records for your hack if that makes you happy. And I think you're a little overstating a few things and wrongly judging my coding profession in your previous post.

1. Attatchments was not in any part of this hack agreement. Please dig up your emails and check them over again.

2. I never asked my clients for advanced payment. My standard is to create a working hack, get them tested on my testboard and deliver once they sastify with it. Same go to your hack, I had you tested on my testboard prior to its delivery. If I remember correctly, I made you this Anonymous Posting hack some time in December, 2005. You wrote a couple emails saying there's bug in Quickreply. I couldn't reply immediately due to my final (exams) week, but I sent you an email and left messages on MSN for the work-around of the bug.

How would this be "took the money and ran" if you got my hack that I spent over 2 days working on? If I understand it correctly from the 1st post and your reply, you've distributed my hack without my prior consent. And I guess in business, in a hundred client, there's always one or two unhappy ones. With all due respect, I apologize for the "buggy" hack and any inconvience caused.

I am sure it doesn't make you feel any better if I was to say that I made the mistake of 'payment-in-advance' too--on elance.com.

I've spent way too much getting this hack developed for me.

I feel your pain. For me its not about money as I just try to be fair from a tip at a eatery or obtaining web companies on ebay.

[rnmcd]

Can you explain to me what the attachment problem was?

Tim,

First off, I have no complaints about your coding it is clean and the job (minus the bugs) was one of the best hacks I have had produced that was custom and it moved very nicely. You asked for a specific price as we agreed that was under what we would have given you hourly, that why you would had a hearty bonus as well that would have been 400% over what you received as we agreed that you under bid your ownself. We were fully aware of finals but " we asked for superior communication on this project" and even after a few weeks it doesn't take much to return an email or return a phone message, I have a 800 number as well, so no cost would occur to your cellphone

You gave us full permission to release the hack if we wished and we even said you could as well. I even stated that to the vB.org team in a contact via thier form and also in the original thread. I just stated my facts and I can dig up the emails gladly if wished.

Of course attatchments were a large part as it was for a photograhy critique forum and would allow the users to upload a image via the vB attachment feature as an anon, user.

Now , believe this or not!

I do think you are ultra brite and have a great formula for flow that helps greatly in this field as your hack was not awkward to operate and far more superior than other public hacks of the same type.

I would fully even recommend your coding work to others, I just would hope that they would test for a few days before paying as again said the coding work was professional and clean as a whistle.

That's all I have to say and wish you the best on what endeavors you do have in the future.

I think the original question got answered, so no need to continue this topic in public.
