I dont have a problem with using YOUR mod as long as Im not going to have to be reinstalling it and fixing things everytime I do an upgrade of Vbulletin. Thats what I am mostly concerned about.

Anything I do on my VB site I try to get mods and scripts that operate specifically on plugins, plugin programs, and extra templates.

I try my best to avoid editing existing templates and things like that that there is a very good chance that will get wiped out or replaced when doing a VB upgrade.

Anyway this was what I was trying to ask in my existing post. Im not looking for your to try and convince me or sell me your mod, Im just wanting to know the differences between the two, which one is better, which one offers more features, and which one has less upgrade issues if there are any.

These are the kind of answers I am looking for.

Anyway I will be trying your mod on my test site to see what its like.

No I am not trying to convince you to use my hack. Like I said I am not a salesman. I don't care what hack you use. I only added the new option to it for those that did not want to do it the other way. I like to leave all option available to everyone. This is one mod I will stand behind and help in any way I can.

To answer you question. This will not cause any problems with upgrade issues. As for the other hack it might depending on what vBulletin does for upgrades in the future with their templates. If they were to restructure the default navbar template then it would mess with the hack that was installed in it. But I really do not see them doing anything like that. But you just never can tell what the next upgrade will involve.

As for the hack I created you would only have to insert $navbar2 in the proper location in the default navbar again if they did a major upgrade. Your personal made template that you create called navbar2 will never be touch my any of vBulletins upgrades.

There are pros and cons to either hack. There are cons to mine hack, it all depends on what other hacks you have installed in you site. I have very little hacks installed in my site at all. I can count the hacks I have installed on my site on one hand just about.
