Another thing on my todo list is write a better intro...
Basically the hack itself works, and while it does add any new columns to any of the vBB tables - it uses two of its own. It does require 39 ~ 40 small file inserts to handle the logging, and keep the recycle bin function behaving. Also it uses about 9 templates I'll add more info as to what goes on in the first post in a bit.
At this stage, if you have an un hacked 2.2.9 board, it *should* install without *any* problems. It it goes fubar, just copy those files that it altered back, drop the recycle bin forum it creates and the extra templates. And all *should* be well.
BUT at this point I'm not willing to say that all WILL be well. I do have to try to dig up some older versions of vBB to see how the hack responds to them.
I'll also try to make some screen shots and post them up in a bit.
