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 ^_^

About the credits: Where do I need to add them and what? On every page or on the htl-pages in the ACP only?

[Rein Masamuri]

Kurafire has left vBulletin.org.
If you want support goto his website: http://www.everythingvb.com

[Areku]

What does it mean "he has left vbulletin.org"?

He won't log in anymore?

He has quit us?

What's happened?

[Areku]

OMG! Now I see...

Any idea what the hell that's about?

Euhm, i WAS planning to install HTL, cause the idea sounded nice.

Then i browsed a bit through the full rls hacks (old forum style) and found that on the newest 2 pages (50 rls's) only 2 ! used HTL

Then i visit here and i see KuraFire no longer posts here....

That was a bad decision. Detaching himself from this forum doesn't give me good hopes for the future and support of this hack.
I see he directs in all his threads to this thread:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=61939
but i get a no permission error, so no idea what was in there

NOT installing.... too bad, really sounded like a good idea.

So this will only work for hacks that are formatted for it?

yes.

Edit, i shouldn't say yes, i mean you can import hacks into it, but you would need the permission of the original Author of the hack you would like to import.

Works like a charm on vB Gold! Cheers for this!
