I'm sorry, but John's decision is final - and that isn't going to change.

merk: If you send John an email, he will confirm whether or not you are allowed to post that.

His email is john@vbull right? :)

Personally I believe we all have an interest in the continue development of our boards via misc hacks (or we wouldn't be here! lol).

I think that the current method of searching for parts of the existing code to add or replace gives us folk not as proficient with php a chance to learn more about it.

I agree. Hacking around PHP applications has taught me most of my PHP knowledge.

However, if you have seen my hack 'Improved Accessmasks Interface' youll realise that it indeed is a pain in the ass hack, when, i could just post a file, instead of copy/paste information.

merk, please e-mail me with info about the hack, which files have changed and the new (hacked) files.

We will look into it and let you know what we decide.
