phraseid numbers ..... big problem! ... i warned that this would happen!

[trafix]

Hi all ...

I raised concerns a week or so ago in a pvt forum with regard to the possibility of 2 hacks using the same phraseid no. i suggested that a phraiseid number registration system should be put in place so that this cant happen,

I proposed before a hack (that requires its own new phrase id) is released the author must register the phraseid with vb.org so it dosnt clash with another.

Most of the replies to my concerns said that it would be unlikley to happen ..... WELL IT HAS!

My members choice hack has clashed with the geek articles hack ..... and is causing the installers of both hacks major headaches as you would be able to understand ... just read page 4 of the members choice voting hack thread.

Before you start accusing me that i used a phrase id for the members choice that i know would clash ... think again .... i released the members choice for vb3 origionally on vb.nl when vb3 hacks couldnt be released here. I used the same phraseid on the release here as on vb.nl

Lets get this phrasesid registration system coded on vb.org, before it happens again .... if it already hasnt with other hacks. It should be very easy to code a system here to automate the registration on phraseid's
