Why did you bother to quote what I wrote to post what you did seeing as they having nothing to do with one another? The first thing you need to realize is that every modification installed from this site is being installed by the user. If you choose to install a modification from this site, you are accepting any and all responsibility of what could happen to your site. That includes if a modification breaks something. That has been posted more times than I can remember on this site.

Most of the modifications on this site are added because a user created it for themself and then offers it to the community. Others come from requests. No one on this site is "obligated" to give support for their mods. Thats why their is an option when releasing a mod to choose whether or not the author will support it. If an author chooses not to support a mod, and you anticipate support, you are wasting your time. If an author says they will be supporting their mod and then fails to comply, guess what, they are entitled to do that.

Comparing free mods from this site to a paid for modification is unrealistic bud. When you buy something, you are normally paying for the support that comes with it unless you are notified prior to the purchase. These modifications are free. They don't come with support as a standard.

Now Betas are completely different. If you can't debug code, you shouldn't be installing a beta modification. Problems are expected with betas and they are released as such to help find them and debug them. Again, you are installing them at your own discretion. if it breaks your board, then you either need to fix it, report it in the beta thread, or uninstall it and wait for it to be released out of beta.

THATS where users are getting confused on this site. They feel they are entitled to the support of the mod authors. It isn't guaranteed and neither are any of the mods on this site.
