Dean, did you know Kirby just released this as a one-line plugin today? He uses a different replacement code, but, it's this mod from what I can see.

Had no idea, did a quick search in the plugins forum and didn't see it. Also can't see it in Kirby's profile :)

Ah yep. I only searched the releases forums and couldn't find it.

I have no idea what you are talking about........... :rolleyes:

Well it is different code.

He didn't really release it as a plug-in. He just posted the line needed. ;)

Did you ask the author of the vb 3.0 version (*ahem*) if you could release this? ;)

We have to ask for permission when rewriting code differently from scratch? I'm so behind the times :ermm:

Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know the official policy on it, but it doesn't give the original author any time to update his hacks for the new version if everyone can just do them with new code, right? ;)
