I posted a piece of code as a Mod and that thread has now been moved to an Article and I'm not sure that was a good idea...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=213665

The code applies specifically to 3.8 and it makes the most sense (to me at least) that it is under the entire 3.8 branch
I intend to utilize this in another Mod that I'm working on, so being able to reference it as another Mod would have been quite useful!
I had never been into the "Articles" section before and would not expect people to go searching for this information there
When I searched for something with "Hook" in the title, I search in the Mods
There are other "Mods" that are simply code snippets with instructions. What makes this any different?

I'd obviously like this moved back, but failing that, I'd appreciate a comment regarding the points I have raised.

If of course you do not want to move it back, by way of an olive branch, may I suggest that an extra SubForum is created in the Mods area as per the following and that it would make sense for it to be placed there?

PS: Might have been nice for the moderator who did it to send me a PM as to why!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
