Actually I do not agree with your rant, I do not know php very well and this is all learning experience for me, but nonetheless I hack my board to add features on it that I want and need, to expect people to know everything about php to run a BB is quite frankly absurd, you buy the product and make any additions you want, it is your board your website, you customise it to your needs, if you make mistakes along the way you hope you can learn from them, and not make the same mistake twice.

To use your anology, you buy a car, it runs fine from day one, then a few months later you want to change the analogue radio to a digital one, now you can't do that because you have not learned how a digital radio works, now that sounds ridiculous I know, but you are suggesting something similar to the only people who use this board and the hacks, if we go by your suggestion the only people left would be coders, so if that is what you want why don't you just come out and say it!
