I also don't want to get into all the details, but suffice to say that this is exactly what I tried to do here (get my ducks in a row). When I started this, and also when I released it there was no other mod that could do this. Therefore I tried to get a quality release that worked very quickly and gave most of the features that people wanted, with a roadmap for further development down the track. It's quite hard to do with this video stuff, because people will always report variations in the format, so it takes time to tweak. Let's not forget that this mod was only a few days old. However, when other mods pop up with identical functionality afterwards, I don't see the point in continuing development. I'll simply go off and find another original idea to develop (I have plenty). I don't write and support these mods because I enjoy it, I write them because I need the functionality, and if nobody else has stepped up the plate, then I have to do it. I also can't allow myself to be in a position where I have used someone else's code, but I have restrictions placed on me on which features I can and can't implement with this code. In this case I'll make the choice to use my own code - but not if my own code does exactly the same thing as someone else's!

If other mods had done this before there's no way I would have written one!

So sorry again - I was in this for the long haul, but I don't want to see a situation of two (or more mods) with totally separate codebases doing the same thing initially, with users bouncing between them. I think in this case choice is a bad thing. Programmers should be putting their resources into fresh ideas, this is now what I will do. I hope you enjoy some of my forthcoming releases.

Anyway, just so you know - if you uninstall my mod, the bbcodes are left in place for you to remove manually. This means existing stuff will keep working. For most people having 16 extra bbcodes on their system won't bother them. And if it really was such an issue for you, then you probably wouldn't have used this mod in the first place

The transition to the other mod won't be a drama, and you'll get everything you got from mine - except support.
