Sorry, my mistake! I looked at this announcement before I posted and misunderstood "Template modifications that add a new level of functionality to vBulletin through the use of conditionals and PHP Include system." I had requested something similar as a hack and thought this could make the basis of a "proper" hack so I posted in the beta section.

A couple of thoughts though . . .

Prior to VB3 the distinction between a template mod and a hack was clear to users: a template modification changed the way it looked, a hack changed the way it worked.

IMHO defining a hack as something that requires a PHP file change is creating an artificial distinction. If someone is looking for a modification to how VB works how do they know where to look now? Will they find it here or at vBulletinTemplates.com?

Just my 2c
