I'll pay DBTech for hashtag support. I support coders and designers but this has to be the one coder that will stand out to me the most and not for good reasons (see the final PM I sent the author):

I was going to write a rather long and drawn out message about how problematic your modification actually is after I had an IT team with far more experience than you or this other vBulletin Coder you were going to speak to about this but than I realized that you are unwilling to accept that your modification is faulty.

Even another user reported the same thing and I had a team of 27 people test your mod out on a fresh installation of vBulletin on an EC2 instance just for the sake of testing it out.

You're the author: it's up to you to do whatever you want but the reality is your modification doesn't properly interact with MySQL.

Take with that what you will but I am done. I have revoked your FTP access and restored the database to remove any damage you may have done because vBulletin was actually reading the correct tables and was not at fault.

I typically support coders and developers but you really should adjust your attitude as well. Given our series of PMs it told me that you had absolutely no idea what you were doing the moment you entered our environment. You, I cannot support.

This is the end of the discussion.

Although that last line is from the PM it still holds true. Install this modification at your own risk but you better make sure you have a usable backup copy of the database because this modification doesn't interact with MySQL properly.

I would avoid it at all costs and go for the paid versions that this tries to circumvent. Although we all have to start somewhere I will never download such a modification (one supposed to be extremely advanced) from a first time developer.

This is the end to any responses from me.

Totally understanding...But disappointing too...
