Default New import system...

OK. So im sure that there has been dozens of posts like this already, its just I've been around and only recently got back to vb.org (not by choice, my site closed down when i moved house 3 years ago. Now im in uni, I got the internet again!).

Anyway...enough of my life, heres the point of this thread. The new import system included in vb3.5.1 has confused and annoyed me a little bit. Back in the days I remember (vb2 and the start of vb3) I remember learning templates, phrases and VB through instructions in notepad. I enjoyed installing bits myself and through actually reading it and typing (copy/pasting) it, if something didn't go as it should i had some ideas where to look.

However, now with this one click install jobby, i find it very lazy and annoying. I've tried 3 installs and all 3 came back with some erros (and i have no idea where to look!). Im not a coding pro, but i feel having a little bit more involvement with my code wouldn't be a bad thing. Sure, at times its good to be lazy, but... i dunno. maybe its just me.

I would be interested to see what you think.

All the best and have a nice day.

Dave

(Also : How good is the import system with other hacks installed...e.g will it override edited code thus distroying forums???)
