Correct. Obviously if you've already got my mod installed you don't have to remove it immediately, nothing will break :D You can then take a look at the Geek's version when it is released. I've just withdrawn the mod early to make sure that the size of the installed base for this mod is as small as possible prior to the release.

He told me he doesn't know exactly when it will be released, he thinks tonight or tomorrow. The version I saw didn't have my extra features, so I guess he is busy coding those now to make sure that it supports the same kind of things.

Harm. I have myself been pleased it with me to insert already in such a way with the German videos. It was first chops that immediately and very well functioned.

Dude, I'm not stupid. If I said, I didn't enable it, I didn't enable it - it's that easy. Anyway I just take a look at it and of course it was "disabled" in the options, but it STILL shows the text above it.

Anyway, I see that you stopped support of the mod, so it doesn't matter that much. But it's indeed weird to stop support for this mod, when the "new" one isn't even out yet...

For what it's worth, I'm disappointed by mfyvies choice on this - but it is his to make. I encouraged him to keep this here, but I see that it is already removed.

The version I sent him was a functional replacement for his first version and IIRC, contained all of the feature set, but none of the code. Since then he added a bunch of other features, most of the relevant ones I folded into the project before we went separate ways. My version is about 90% lifted out of existing code I have for GAL 6, so it was pretty quick and easy to package up.

The only thing I would like to do is write a conversion tool for all the existing bbcodes that this one installed. As stated, it should be ready tonight or tomorrow but I wont guarantee ill have time to do a conversion tool for these bbcodes.

This mod is a great idea and I wish we would have found the common ground we needed to release something jointly. I still think that users would benefit more from a choice - but it doesnt look like that will happen. Sorry about the pain guys.

Well Im not into the drama of who when and why , all i know is that i have been through a few different You Tube Ect... Embedders and this one seems to work great i then spent about 8 hours removing my old [YOUTUBE] ... I tried to replace them with [youtubevid] As per this mod and all of them refused to embed ???? So I posted That this dont work when editing a thread , and left all my posts with no embed tags so the links would work ,

Good Or Bad Im ready to get a mod that going to be around for the long run ,

Jumping on the newest mods here is cool , leaves you thinking that your hooking up your members with stuff that no one else has , But on the bad side You have to ride out the waves,re writes, new versions , updates , additional edits Ect and its a headache ,

Im extremely greatful for you coders as i have 40 Hacks now But i wish that You guys/gals would get all your ducks in a row before just posting a new hack It would save you from getting 500 pages of support questions and getting burnt out answering the same questions so many times that it goes UNSUPPORTED and Screws all the members who didnt get on board with your hack at the beginning

Aie Aie Aie

Thanks Geek and i plan on installing your Mod as soon as i see it as i want to get my Board on the right track when it comes to video embedding ASAP

Make sure it will work when editing a thread if you would please
Later

I also don't want to get into all the details, but suffice to say that this is exactly what I tried to do here (get my ducks in a row). When I started this, and also when I released it there was no other mod that could do this. Therefore I tried to get a quality release that worked very quickly and gave most of the features that people wanted, with a roadmap for further development down the track. It's quite hard to do with this video stuff, because people will always report variations in the format, so it takes time to tweak. Let's not forget that this mod was only a few days old. However, when other mods pop up with identical functionality afterwards, I don't see the point in continuing development. I'll simply go off and find another original idea to develop (I have plenty). I don't write and support these mods because I enjoy it, I write them because I need the functionality, and if nobody else has stepped up the plate, then I have to do it. I also can't allow myself to be in a position where I have used someone else's code, but I have restrictions placed on me on which features I can and can't implement with this code. In this case I'll make the choice to use my own code - but not if my own code does exactly the same thing as someone else's!

If other mods had done this before there's no way I would have written one!

So sorry again - I was in this for the long haul, but I don't want to see a situation of two (or more mods) with totally separate codebases doing the same thing initially, with users bouncing between them. I think in this case choice is a bad thing. Programmers should be putting their resources into fresh ideas, this is now what I will do. I hope you enjoy some of my forthcoming releases.

Anyway, just so you know - if you uninstall my mod, the bbcodes are left in place for you to remove manually. This means existing stuff will keep working. For most people having 16 extra bbcodes on their system won't bother them. And if it really was such an issue for you, then you probably wouldn't have used this mod in the first place :)

The transition to the other mod won't be a drama, and you'll get everything you got from mine - except support. ;)

Well Thanks For That ,

So Were all going to have to Pay For the Geeks Version Aint We?

As an FYI: My contribution was never going to be a commercial mod and it never will be. I just won't be offering direct supporting on it. This was another reason I encouraged this mod to stay here.

BTW: It is generally advisable to have your mod remove itself completely when a user uninstalls it. However I suppose that means I don't need to bother with a converter.

I don't think you will have to pay for the geek's version, he just won't be supporting it. If he was going to release it as a paid mod, then I would not have pulled mine and would have continued development.

I hear your pain about these mods. I was in the same boat. I couldn't program mods either, so I started to teach myself by looking at how other mods worked. It wasn't easy - and even now when I post a programming question, unless it is easy it doesn't get answered, or if it does get answered not always with enough detail to help...

These days I don't bother posting mod requests anymore, I just start to sit down and write them. But I'm usually writing for something I really need.

I'd happily take on your projects, but I don't need any of them for my own system, and there probably wouldn't be enough income in them to justify them without that :-( the other problem is because I am still learning it takes me a long time to do this stuff.

The ironic thing is that when you post a request for a mod nobody is interested, but when the mod comes out everyone yells out "fantastic!" That's the way it goes in the world of free software...

Thanks And I Understand 100% , I hate seeing the Coders Say Thats it Not Supported

Dont get discouraged your efforts go along way for Me,My Board and its members .

As for the Give a Gift Subscription Ill pay you $20 PayPal right now for taking over https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=105553 for 3.6.7 This is a business move for me as it would only take 1 use to pay its self 100% then any use after that all in the green
