[trafix]

I dont intend to defend myself here but tell you the truth of this whole issue

his 'current' support site (www.ozezyhost.com) has closed the trader for new ads, so i could see it, but not play with it.

I find that to be incorrect ..... the site is www.ozezyhosting.com for a start .... and the demo version of the trader on that site has ALWAYS been open for perspective buyers to add test ads and has never been closed. You can see that there are test ads there now that where placed before and after Pranks registration to my forum.

It didn't work..

There are a couple of dozen people that have purchased this hack, NOBODY else has had ANY problem with instilation or blank screens .... I early report said unregistered members could post ... this was quickly fixed.

the installation installed the templates into only one of my styles

Yes this is true .... BUT the other styles that he added to his site without using the defult as a parent forum ...

He had admin access on my forums

Yes, After her first reperted the ploblem to me I asked for admin access ..... Not even 24 hrs after giving me admin access it was revoked, and he still complained that it wasnt fixed. after 2 weeks of trying to debug his site via PM or email only (without result) i then asked for admin and ftp access. It then took me about 2 days to find the reason for the blank screen. My admin access was again removed as i didnt need it any longer. Recently due to other commitments i am lucky to use my computer 2 hours a day, i advised him of this in one of my PMs.
The reason for the blank screen is the line of code (below) Its a standard VB line of code that resolves the reputation for a member, for some reason this was causing the blank screen on his site and his site only ..... this problem has never occoured before and everyone else is using the same scripts.
During this 2 week period, i consulted with many other experiances vb hackers including IM chat with Kura and a phone call to Erwin (Ex vb.org admin) and none of them could cume up with a logical reason why a page should be blank if the template and the php file is there and correct ... you at least should see the header and footer.

when he did, he was mad at me for getting upset about the whole process

No, I wasnt upset .... I was angry because prank threatned to distrubute my hack to others, thus breaking the licence agreement.

Now, unregistered users can post ads which causes sql errors and he has yet again failed to respond to my PM's for the past week.

I only recieved a PM informing me of this issue 24 HOURS AGO .... not a week ago as he suggests. Again this unregistered posting issue was previously reported and fixed, but as prank only reported to me last night, without any access to his admin or server .... i had no way of attempting to fix this problem in this time.

Basically, these are the facts;
I am out of pocket $60 USD

I normal cost for the hack is US $100 but as prank showed intrest in the hack by PMing regurally asking questions, I PMed him the $60 offer on the grounds that the offer stays between us and that he dosnt mention it to anyone else (agreement broken now!!)

Its been 5 weeks and the thing still doesn't work

He sent payment to me on the 3 August 2004 ..... by my calculations thats NOT 5 weeks and ive already covered the reason for it not working

he has replied to approx 1/4 of all PM's - completely selectively

Yep i kept all the PM's as well. He has sent me 23 PM's of which I have replied to 13 ot them ... others just contained admin access and ftp details and didnt realy need replying to.

it is NOT a good hack or addon

Thats pranks opinion only! I would invite other vb trader users to reply with your thoughts
