Do hacks effects the vB..?

[organik81]

I want to learn; extra installed vB hacks, php or template modifications causes any problem to the forum's database, sql etc..? Thanx...

A well coded hack should not cause any problems.

They 'almost always' add more tables, or quarys or load.

But some are very minimal and very well thought out code.

He asked if that causes any problems to vB, not whether they are added or not ;)

Zachery :
Of course they do, you are introducing third party untested code into a stable enviroment.

thats like putting a cat and a dog into a room and asking if they won't fight.

Chances are they will, chances are a hack (php and sql modifications) can cause a problem.

You take your own risk in hacking/modifying your forums php files and mysql database.
