so, we have now established that the dupe posts are a problem...now can we mebbe establish if the author is gonna suppoort this, and if theres a workaround?

If you scroll to the very top, you'll see that this hack is Unsupported. As I said earlier in this thread, I don't believe Zero supports any of his hacks.

so why release them? just don't release them if they're gonna not work...

i think that zero maybe is busy right now and can't give us support ;)

Zero is a great mod creator, one of the best around for vb. But I would agree with you. If your gonna release stuff, at least supply support for a little while. If it had of been an old hack I would expect no suport, but it's not an old hack.

This hack works perfectly for me: no duplicate threads, no funky characters (in addition to the ones already present on the actual blog), and no problems with HTML.

Don't diss the author just because you couldn't get the hack to work. I didn't say that Zero was a bad person for not supporting his hacks, only that he does just that, not support his hacks.

It's an amazing hack, good job. Altough not supported i've a question. Is it possible to have a rss feed from an atom xml ?

If that's a reply to me, I'm not dishing the author. I have installed many of Zero's hacks and use his Welcome Panel now. I supose if people complain about the suport, like you said it is advertised before they install it. That support is not there as backup.

I was mainly talking to c0d3x. He asked what the point was in distributing a hack that didn't work with no support.

I install and set up everything but it doesn't do anything on my board. It doesn't pull in any news even though I run the cron job manually.

Same here. Is there a way to get the output out of the new post search?
