I find this site hard to use for it's main purpose - to locate suitable hacks for VB.

What I would like to see is a hacks database (& link to it), which would list the released hacks by function and in their order of popularity as well.

That way I could start my travels here by finding the most frequently used (and therefore bug free and useful) hacks.

Anyone who used to use UBBDEV will know what I mean.

Hacks should be categorized based on what area of VB they modify, what versions of VB they have been tested on, how complex they are to install and any co-dependencies.

Forums are great for discussing the hacks and support issues but stable hacks need to be properly listed as well.

A hacks database is already worked on and near completion. :)

It will have categories, lists of hacks ordered by many parameters, searching and much more neat little features. :)

When do you expect this to be done? (Just wondering)

I feel like an idiot because I find the hack threads but can't find the hacks. I click "Install this hack" and nothing happens. Where are the zip files or instructions for the hacks??

The hacks are in the threads, almost always in the first message. Install this hack adds it to your User CP here so you can keep track of what you have installed and get notified if the author updates the hack.
