View Full Version : (Admins) Posting exe files

So I've been making this program (for Windows) which automatically generates the main statusicons (forum, thread etc.) from a images which the user provides (they provide the separate elements of the images, if you like), and then the program combines them appropriately. I was wondering if such a program would be okay to post on vB.org once it's done?

The reason I am asking is that on some forums which I have been to, the rules state that exe files should not be posted.

Thanks!

Put it in a zip?

Even in a zip i doubt it would be allowed. AFAIK vB.org has always only allowed visible source, so no compiled or encoded work.

This is correct.

What if I were to post the source code, too, would that make any difference?

Doubt it, since they wouldn't be able to know if anything was added or subtracted when it was compiled?

Yeah fair enough - guess I'll just have to put something in my signature or something. Thanks for your help!

Exactly!

Exactly!

Well, I guess he could post the source code along with instructions on how to compile, no? It sounds like a handy mod for some people.
