Sounds like a great hack. I have a valid license (info entered in profile), so if someone could verify this and send me the updated js file? I'm not sure if this is possible, but and help would be much appreciated. Thanks! :)

Your point is a good one but situations like mine are an exception. I don't think there are too many code improvements to warrant such extra effort as you explained. What I did isn't exactly a bug fix and not really a hack, that's why I say it is an exception. We will just have to wait and see if the new vbcode.js file will be implemented in the next version.

Scott send your improvements to Kier and if they are kosher than he can make the needed changes in time for 2.0.2

Willdo - havedone :)

Not sure how exceptional as this is the second case I've come across just now of something being removed for license violation in just the last few minutes while searching for something else.

The point about competition from open source is a good one, as this is one area where open source may well produce an excellent contender. One of the tricks of competing against open source is to capture as much of the flavor of it as possible without giving away the store. So, I think the idea of having a download area for hacks/improvements from the members only area or perhaps a licensees' only forum for such exchanges is a very good one.

We need a "Members Only" forum!!!!!!

That was kind of a fluke. I think the last time this happened was in March or April.

I would tend to agree. However I think the way it is now is a good system too. It allows it be out in the open without compromising vBulletin's source.

I think in this case it's a bit pointless imposing any restriction.

This is after all a .js file.

The original can be download from ANY vb site.

Can somebody who manged to install the new file give me a link to their vb site.

I won't download it honest, although if I happen to find it in my cache ...........

The general discussion is about vB source as a whole, not just .js files. Yes, .js files can be downloaded as you say, however PHP files cannot. We cannot pick and choose what parts of the license we enforce, or when we enforce them.

I think you'll find that you actually can, but you choose not to.

Anyway, thanks for the hack Scott, it is working brilliantly. :D
