You see, I have no problem retaining the copyrights, but with the number of mods installed id we vB users kept copyright tags to every one of them, we would end up with an extra 5 inch space on our footer.

@nitra1000, I understand and appreciate you hard working on this mod but, I had to remove your link from the XML file, sorry. It points to your forum, and not really the Apture thingy (even though its credited).

I hope you understand..

Then uninstall it and pm me, don't uncredit my work without asking! It takes a lot of hard work to make modifications and to remove someones credit like that is just plain rude!

If you want to remove the credit link, then drop me a pm and ask

Like I said, I understand and appreciate you hard working on this mod but if we users kept copyright tags to every one of the mods we used on our forums.. then we would end up with an big chunk of space on our footer.

Look I was nice enough to tell you that, a lot of people wouldn't. But if you find that rude well, then that's up to you. *uninstalled by the way(not because you asked me so, but because the script becomes kinda annoying after a while specially when you try to copy and paste).

Then make the mods yourself (or ask the modder), good day...

I think you'll find most modders will be happy for you to remove the copyright for a small donation....

Wrong.

Just look around the most popular modders in vb, such as vSA, DragonByte Tech etc. Most modders here who are genuinely wanting to help people, they wouldn't even put up such a thing on the footer in the first place. Because they understand the users needs and they know better not to. Heck, half the time even the average "Joe Sixpack Modders" would say "Feel free to remove the copyright if you wish" Let alone beg for [S]money[/S] donations and [S]promote their website[/S] asking to have a entire section of your forum dedicated to irrelevant links. :confused:

No, I will not make the mods myself, and I will not ask modders to do it either, I'll do what most people happily do here, but I am just pointing out to you the Fact. Just for the sake of the argument, how many people do you think that have installed your mod are going to donate to have your footer removed?If you think people like and willingly want to keep 50 odd and irrelevant links on the bottom of their forum, then That logic of yours is flawed sir, And if you cant cope with the facts and stay arrogant and ignorant towards me because unlike others I was honest about my intentions, then thats your problem, please do remain rude and arrogant sir. You can find someone else to put up with that insane bull$#!t of yours...

Now I Bid you a good day..

I have a DragonByte credit in my footer.

I don't WANT it in my footer but I'd have to pay to get it removed.

This is a dumb thing to complain about in this thread though.

This is a great mod. You always have the option of installing apture in the footer instead of using his script.

Well, I'm just a retired 63 year old veteran who's obviously not as articulate and sure of what the world order should be as you are, but in our case, we operate a not-for-profit site that survives just on donations, so funds are scarce.

However, I felt that nitra1000's efforts to create a value added script with additional options warranted sending him a PayPal donation, which we did. I honestly didn't think about removing his copyright notice, even if that donation gave us legitimacy in doing so.

I do understand your point about all these types notices taking up screen space at the bottom and it is becoming a problem for us too. It would be interesting to have a way of creating a drop down box area for credits, or perhaps some kind of small window scrolling method that only took up a line or two.

Regards,
Doug

Can you please help me on this?

I don't think it's anything to do with my mod and more a combination of performance factors taking there toll but I will investigate (if you have a link to a test site with it installed could you pm me)

I love this, thank you :D
