Hello,

in everyone's defense... have you any idea how many of the mods here don't have that supported button checked... even though they're supported - a ton! have you also noted that this particular mod/hack/whatever DOES have a list of

That means that DURING DEVELOPMENT of this modification, those users helped out with the core code of the modifications and reported errors that had been corrected for the version of VB that the mod was written for.

i guess i could also point out again that the majority of coders here DO NOT accurately check any of those side boxes. notice this hack DOES NOT have the Beta button check although it clearly is. to a new vb.org user or someone new to this particular thread/hack... i can see this as very confusing.

This is NOT confusding. BETA is NOT checked because this modification was not a beta WHEN IT WAS RELEASED! When this modification was released, it worked fine. The only thing you needed to change was the vBulletin to read vbulletin in the xml. When this modification was released, it was for vB Version: 3.5.0 Beta 4 and it wasn't a beta. Everything worked for that version!

It doesn't matter how many coders actually click the supported box. If it is not checked, they have stated that they do not intend on supporting the modification. If they have time, and they do still support the mod, that is a bonus. If life happens, and they walk away from the mod leaving it unsupported, they are not doing anything they didn't already say they would do.

I don't know cloudrunner, so I am not trying to defend his actions on a personal level. I am however pretty tired of coming to vb.org and seeing people talk trash when the version of vb they are running is not the version the mod was written for and the mod is listed as unsupported.

Look under my name, I am a member. I am not a coder on the level that a lot of these people are. I myself have helped in this thread several times. I would love to see this mod updated to 3.5.2 but I am not expecting it to be because it is listed as unsupported.

Helping in the thread as members is great, but leave the trash talk about the author out. Its old and tiring to read people saying someone abandoned a mod when it is clearly listed as unsupported and was written for a version that is several versions old now.

Before anyone comments on a mod, they need to read and see what version of VB the mod is for and if it is listed as supported. If it is for a different version of Vb and is listed as "unsupported", there is nothing to complain about. This mod WASN"T abandoned. It is several versions old and listed as unsupported.
