The earlier bug fix caused a new bug to arise. Yes, you may smack me with the cluebat. I f00ked up in my bugfix. *slaps self*
Anyhoo, to patch your install, just overwrite your admincp/hackadmin.php with the new version found in the NEW ZIPFILE, attached below.

BUG FOUND! A minor, harmless bug was found in the Make vB.org Post section of /admincp/hackadmin.php - to upgrade, re-download the zipfile (clear your cache first!) and overwrite hackadmin.php on your server with the new one. If you haven't yet installed the HTL, make sure to get the latest download and you should be fine. Thanks Rein for the report ^_^

Heh, I've upgraded all 3 of my released vB3 hacks to have an HTL install file (and the shoutbox is HTL exclusive). It's probably a little overkill to put a 1 file edit hack into the HTL, but that's what it was made for, right?

Once again, great job, KuraFire.

Yeaaa, Every thing went fine untill I went to the admincp, there is no nav for manage hacks or anything like that?!?! if I go to www.mysite.com/forums/admincp/hackadmin.php it works fine and I get no errors, if I go to www.mysite.com/forums/hacklog.php it shows that HTL is installed and thats all, but still no errors. Any idea on why it dosent show up in the admincp/index?

- try refreshing your admin navpanel frame;
- did you apply the file edits to admincp/index.php ?
