[TO DO] warning for newthread in release area
 

i know there used to be an agrement page that you had to read before posting a new thread in the release section, i belive you guys should do the same again but with some if statments to keep the newbies from posting support topics there by acident ;)

and with the statement, there should be a check box thats if not clicked will not let them submit the new post

the check box being an agreement to posting a new hack

Wow how did we forget about this. You're right - this was one of the most important things on vBulletin.org when it was running vb2. A countdown on the submit button before it can be clicked of say 30seconds would be nice too (as an addition to what we had :))

and it would slow down the process for experienced hackers to do so, you forgot...

we'll think of it, in regarding the newbie threads..

well i didnt suggest the 30 seconds, just somthing that would tell the ppl that by posting a new thread you are releasing a hack. something big and important looking ;)

but just checking a box doesnt seem like a big deal to me for hackers to submit, plus i think that it might be nice to have the option to either garuntee support or not again :)

just stay patient ;)
we're not finished with the changings on vb.org and vb3, just very busy these times

i understand :)

I think the 30 second thing is not a bad idea at all. Experienced hackers could simply leave the page be for 30 seconds then click submit...

Exactly - for the sake of 30seconds its worth it :)

any updates?

I think we are waiting for RC at this point. We are trying to keep hacking to a minimum here. Upgrading is already hard enough as it is. :)
