no i do, you saw my board

Then what do you mean "hacking software?"

Beyond Compare is not hacking software. It's a program that compares two files and you can add/take changes that appear in both files.

I think he called it that when he read my post:

When i said 'hacking software'. I ment modifiying the files that come with a software package. be it vBulletin or your OS.

Well i just upgraded my vB, and i didnt have to redo anything :D

Judging from the amount of hacks you have installed just on index.php i doupt that. You would have had to re hack or use a compare program to do that. The version number has changed in your acp but thats easy to get around if you know the database schema or found the file that would have allowed you to change it. it is impossiple to upgrade without losing hacks if you do not use a compare program. And it is impossiple to upgrade and keep hacks without doing anything.

The template stuff will remain, but thats it. If you overide your files it will rid of the code you added to make these mods work.

i ran the upgrade files. oops, i forgot to re-upload the v2.2.9 files, damnit!!
