Well, I actually was working on code to validate the URL to ensure that it was a thread that existed in the forum, and that it was in a valid FS/WTB section. However that along with all the other changes have been sitting in limbo as I haven't had time lately to update the hack.

There's a lot of features I was working on, but had to put on hold due to personal circumstances. I'll try to get an update coded, tested, and published within a couple weeks or so.

There have been requests for all sorts of features, some really off-the-wall. My main intention for this hack was to keep it simple and easy to implement. Also to have a minimium amount of changes to the vB templates (and no file changes) as to keep things easier when upgrading vB versions.

Anyhow, as to some of the people posting issues, I've seen them before and they are in this thread, so just read through or do a search. I'm sorry I don't have time to answer everyone's questions individually these days, I'm a very busy person.

The biggest problem I've heard with rating is abuse; the URL feature is designed to cut down on this.

We have this FINE HACK INSTALLED in test. One of our mods jumped right in and posted a bogus URL in the feedback. We don't want to have to ban people for doing this.
