vb.org Archive - View Single Post - If a coder has seemingly abandoned their plugin, and I've fixed it for 4.0

You may not go and attach a new version of the product into the thread. And most 'fixes' that are posted in threads a little two-liner bits of code that need fixing. The rules state you may not post more than 10 lines of copyrighted code.

Some coders don't even like fixes posted in their threads. I know I have tried to always send a PM to the developer asking if they mind if I post a bit of code to fix or change something. Some of them like to 'approve' fixes first.

You need to watch how you treat developers. Other developers will notice how respectful we are towards them and may choose to not deal with it and not release their stuff to the public if they don't like the attitude. A gimme attitude will not win any points.
