Gentlemen,

I understand your issues, and I would be willing to split down AWS in modules, with edit instructions grouped per module. Unfortunatelly, there are two issues which do not allow me this luxury.

1) As you know, vB 3.5 is approaching the final release, and I need to re-write the hack for that version. That is not as simple as it sounds. The new way vB works is a pain, expecially for someone like me, who is not in his teens, and learning new things can be a real task. It took me some time to get to understand how vB works and to learn php, now I have to re-learn things. Not easy, I assure you. Also, since my personal forums site is very heavily hacked, I sincerely doubt if it will ever be moved to vB 3.5, so I have less incentive to work on the new code, but I have to do it, because I am sure others will upgrade.

2) During August, the nursery school is closed, so my twins will be at home. Now whoever has/had two 3 1/2 year-old kids at home, can understand what that means. No free time, even to get some rest. So, it is rather unlikely than any work will be done on the 3.5 version during this month.

With the above in mind, you understand that re-writing the instructions for AWS 3.4.x is also not going to happen, even though I would personally prefer to do that, than trying to figure out the new vB environment and try to cope with it.

Sorry for that folks, but maybe after I familiarize myself with vB 3.5, I can break AWS down to modules. However, keep in mind that with the new vB environment, several of the changes you had to apply manually in the php files, will now come as hooks, so things will be easier.

Finally, as a "where are we standing today" report, AWS 3.5 is ready by maybe 50%. The standard warning procedures are all there, and you can warn some one, check his warnings etc. Also, all the admin things work. What remains to be done, is the part which deals with the automatic warnings from posts and pms. Oh yes, also I have to add that late Notes thing I did a couple of days ago, but that's easy.
