I just want to put a little FYI out there for people who have never used this hack on your board.

I had it installed and it was all fun and games until my "naughty" users figured out how to use it and before I knew it there was "I heard [you] sucks" type threads all over the place and in peoples sigs. Some of my "computer dumb" users couldn't figure out that it was a code, even after explaining it to them, and got REALLY pissed off at the members and me (the webmaster) for messages they thought were directed at them.

It can be a fun hack and does a fantastic job of getting peoples attention, but if your userbase isn't computer savvy I would pass this one up.

Any chance this hack could be made to work for admin/mods only?

Will that work? When a person hits the reply button won't they see the code you specified?

Beermonster's right. When they hit the reply button, the code is already parsed. They will see their name and not the code itself.

I am going to install - great hack. I used this on my old forum that was none vbulletin and had the same problem as alkatraz, but I will do what Boofo suggested. THANKS! :nervous:

Thank you, Sandy. ;)

Don't forget to click the install button, my friend. ;)

As far as a screenshot goes, that's kind of hard to do since it would only show my name, anyway. Any idea how to do it to show what you mean? ;)

and [you] code after installting ur hack.

tell them whenever someone else views you code. readers will see there name in it instead of the you code..
possibly including a big image. which has cut-outs of everything included.

i havent yet done the upgrade. else i would have done that small thing for ya bro...

Best of Luck again for this nice hack :)

Best Regards,

This version seems infinitely more complex than the original.

clicks install

Boofo

03-21-2004 09:13 AM

Not really, as the version that was released for vB2 had a lot more that needed to go with it to accomplish what this version does. This version covers everything, whereas the vB2 version only covered the message area. ;)

Sweet stuff! April's Fools Joke here I come!

You rock man...and I clicked the install button~

AWESOME. Wonderful hack! :D

Does anyone know how to make this work with multiquote installed also?

Boofo

03-22-2004 06:23 PM

If you list the piece of code that needs to be changed here, I'm sure we can help you get it sorted out. ;)

Leah	03-22-2004 07:29 PM

I'm not really sure what part that needs to be changed.
There are two files that's been changed; showthread.php and newreply.php
2 templates have been changed and one have been added.

In here's the instructionfile.

Have you even tried to install the [you] hack yet? Go ahead and in stall it and if you run into any problems, then post them here. That hack should not interfere with this hack in any way. ;)

I posted about this beause I ran into problems. ;)

Boofo

03-22-2004 07:49 PM

Then you need to post the code that is giving you problems here so we can sort it out. ;) That hack doesn't even touch the same code as this hack as far as I can tell.

very nice hack I had it on my old vb2.

Boofo

03-24-2004 06:41 PM

I had it on vB2. also, but it is alot easier on vB3. On vB2, I had to catch every place it could possibly turn up and replace the code there instead of catching it all in one or two places with vB3. ;)

/me was wondering if anyone would be able to provide a htl version of this hack as it helps to keep track of your hacks so much. thanks a lot in advance

Boofo

03-25-2004 11:01 AM

Sorry, I don't use the HTL hack. Don't really like it. ;)

8472	03-25-2004 11:02 AM

ok thanks a lot for the fast reply though =)

Boofo

03-25-2004 11:06 AM

No problem. Besides, since this hack really isn't that big, I saw no need for anyone to convert it to HTL. ;)

03-26-2004 08:05 AM

Nice.. Installed

Boofo

03-26-2004 08:08 AM

You need to reapply the code. The only way this could happen is if you copy and pasted the code wrong. ;)

Jadelit

03-26-2004 08:11 AM

Yeah, I just did that... Works like a charm.

:)

Boofo

03-26-2004 08:27 AM

Ahhh, you changed your message on me. That's ok, as long as you got it working. ;)
