I'd say just do it and credit him as the original coder since he is MIA. You'd have the thanks of many users I think!

Except for these recent issues, this is by far the better of this type mod.

I'm inclined to agree with tc82, after all, it does say "Re-usable Code".
Credit the original coder, and go from there.

I'm afraid I don't understand, can you please elaborate?

BTW, you can now change the author of articles once again, sorry for the long wait.

Post 142 I aired my experience with this problem, but was ignored.
This problem exists, but no one wants to acknowledge it, let alone offer a solution.
It is a right PitA having to offset the post time every time you use the Advanced Editor.

Sorry, I was just quite busy, didn't have time to support this mod.

This issue is fixed in 3.0.2.

I'm sure we can all appreciate the difficulty in finding time to work on something like this (I certainly don't hold that against you )
In the interim, an acknowledgement of the issue would have been nice... that way we can live in hope of it being addressed when you do get some time, rather than being left feeling ignored and/or abandoned.

Thank you for finding the time... it is truly appreciated.

Another bug :
when this mod is enable, we can't add any tag to CMS article anymore.
Used with vB4.2.0

[Mr_Running]

Installed.
I have a forums which I would prefer not to display the Author And Creation Date.
This mod allow me to update the date so it appears more current.

Please add two options to not display.
Author
Creation Date.

a bonus would be hide the last edited by <-- Only Admin can view.

Excellent mod

[Amaury]

Can the time be changed, too? Also, I see from the screenshot that the date format is DD/MM/YYYY, but what's the date format based on? Is it based on the format for the forum or is it its own individual setting in the modification?

I prefer M/D/YYYY (e.g., 8/1/2012).
