I contacted vb through the "members only" section about this module.
I've looked at the code. it will break more than it corrects if appiled to 2.2.5.
and besides...that's not the way I (or most professional developers) work "make the code changes and see of they work" (laughing....definately 'NOT ME')
ps: IMHO anyone that takes the time to upgrade a highly hacked forum to 2.2.9 with the 3.0 release imminent needs to have their head examined.
