thanks!

Very VERY useful...Thanks.

Can you please make a txt file so others can download it and have it for when they upgrade their vBulletin? ;)

Done :)

Do you really do that btw? Re-install all hacks from scratch using text files? Doesn't that take a long while?

All I do is make sure that I mark any hacks I do with this:
// HACK : START : HACK_NAME
// HACK : END : HACK_NAME

And when it comes to upgrading I search for a list of files that include the whole word HACK in upper case... then I DIFF the old and new files and copy over just the things in HACK blocks... the DIFF engine puts them in the right place :)

Much easier, and doesn't require me to re-install anything.

Takes about 20 minutes to do the whole thing, and I have a VERY heaviliy hacked forum :)

It also helps me strip out unwanted hacks as I just search for the HACK_NAME.

Oh, and if hacks required a change to an existing line, I leave the original there but commented out just in case I do want to rollback :)

my users will feel safer now :) thanks for sharing

/me installs

Just thinking... do people want variances on the pattern it shows?

So instead of just re-formatting as:
test (at) example (dot) com

It might also do things like:
moc . elpmaxe @ tset < backwards

Or:
test@AUDENexample.com < minus poet

I'd like a modification that turns e-mails into images displaying the image, and makes the image a mailto: link - possible?

In the meantime, this hack is great!
