I couldn't agree with you more, If it wasn't for the likes of Hippy and Stannger we wouldn't be having this conversation as this mod would have been dead in the water years ago.

The mod is no longer supported by the original developer,yet he pops in, to fix the security issue!Hmm.. right ok.Goodwill gesture? I don't think so.

What it needs is the original developer to give the right to people like Hippy to apply all the fixes to the original code.That way now 448 pages can be deleted and start afresh.I'm sure everyone would agree with that.

As you said the product is not paid,so why dosen't the developer give up the rights to it? And give the people who put their heart and soul into it, a fair crack of the whip..

That's the way forward,not page after page of manual edits.

Who said anything about the script being a "Goodwill" gesture? It was was the security fix I was referring too..So please don't misinterpret or insult my Intelligence.

Furthermore, Why on earth would the inventor of the modification give up rights to anyone else? That's just a really really stupid assertion in my opinion.

Well it would be to you.But as seeing you asked the only person keeping this alive to solve your problem..The balls in your court on that one.

At the end of the day - if the modification doesn't work for you - or you are simply too tired to find the fixes you need ==> DON'T USE IT! is my suggestion!

As above..

Again = I'd personally like to say thank you MrZeropage for sharing your modification with the vBulletin community ;)

if the fixes were in a doc that was easy to follow and not contradicted every other post then that would be fair rnough - but they are not and they are all over the place. several versions of several files to download and several maybe and ifs on php and template edits.

this isnt vb2 this is vb4 - this mod belongs in the graveyard along with all the other outdated unsupported products.

it used to be awesome but now its simply garbage for the average user.

and before anyone gets on their soap box about how this is free etc etc - that's all very well and good, and you are entitled to an opinion - and so i'm entitled to mine by saying that as it stands its junk for vb4.

uninstalled until it gets fixed CORRECTLY.

note to hippy: I appreciate your efforts but if you are going to be telling people to follow your fixes - at least have the fixes laid out in a legible fashion with date amendments or at least upload a complete pack for gods sake - stop all the faffing around. do it right or dont do it at all.
