You pathetic child

It is worth noticing how you have pointed the negative part of my post at yourself.

UNINSTALLED!!!!

Bless you.

Dead wrong if you think that I've come here did not come here to earn installs. I have come to share my work. Might have as well left it for my own use, like Bane.

FYI, to get freebsd to show up make the following change:

Thanks.

Anthony, I hope you feel better having said that - the best thing I can say is to let the stuff just roll off your back. Ignore anything negative, take the positive and look at the suggestions/fixes. If anyone is unappreciative or negative, just move on to the next post and forget all about that one.

It really isn't worth getting worked up over - you've got a good thing going here and with a little help it should be just fine.

@Psionic Vision, lots of respect for you mate, I know it can be hard in cases like this, there are always some "less pleasant" people around who think they can demand things.

Keep in mind your work is appreciated but don't forget your other doings either

[MPDev]

It doesn't appear Netscape is getting picked up in the browser types.

        'Netscape'                      => array('/Netscape\/([0-9\.]+)/i',                     false,                  false,          false   ),

I change the Netscape portion slightly and am getting some Netscape versions now.

I'm still getting about 5% of unknown operating systems, will have to try and track down those.

Psionic Vision, Firstly thanks for this great hack, been using it since the first release..
However the Cron seems to be missing.. after I added the cron (like:https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=191) my stats performed perfectly..
I couldn't find any evidence of this in the readme..

Once again cheers

[MPDev]

If you are missing the cron, read:

I was referring to your response! I used to drive coaches professionally for almost 35 years and if I spent my time throwing my toys out the pram at some of the stupid/silly/annoying comments from my passengers I would have been driving an empty coach all that time.
Relax, take it all with a pinch of salt. Of course you are going to get frustrating little tic-turds pestering you all the time, but thats life! Learn to live with it without embarrassing yourself.

Ok, after removing the hack I was still getting the problem.
I have since found that the problem was actually in another hack, mine , (is there a smiley for embarrassed?).

So I might as well re-install the hack. But the way I see it, I might as well first make the changes that have been added all over this thread.
Would anybody have a list of all the changes that need to be made?
With all the posts I have lost count of what hacks need to be done.

I can try and come up with a list if need be, but if someone has one already that would be great.

Just read pages 15 and 16. It's all there, no reason to redo them.
