LOL! Great tip Mist. You would hope that someone who is brave enough to hack into his forum program files would be smart enough to work this out for himself like most of us when we first started hacking. :)

Lol! What do you mean?

lol

yes, what do you mean

I think he means if we're already brave enough to hack our own boards, we know how to do this anyway.
That's not quite true though.
Here's another common tip for newbie hackers, too.
When you are asked to 'find', sometimes for example it asks you to find:
However, sometimes it uses apostrohpes instead of quotes. So instead of ", it might be '. Example, what you need to find instead is:
This can be quite tricky and doesn't happen often, but it's worth a try if you can't find it.

PS: - Mist ): I've done both a few times now :p, thanks for releasing.

I've found that making a copy of the the original query, and commenting it out first, and then adding the new hacked lines to another copy of the query ... to be a good way to revert back to the original from all of your hacked php files.

This might make the fils much bigger but at least you know that you can revert your board back to it's original state. Make sure that you add a comment line that describes that this is the original "un-hacked" block of code.

I do this with any hack that I apply ... :)

That is a good way i must admit but this aims to solve those problems :P
