but i am building it up now every day ..

ahh .. i have a question again
is in the news version no possibility to integrate the first attachement of a thread ?
i cant use these portal systems for news like "game news" they are overloaded with informations .. its a nice feature (a portal addon) for community overview as a page ..

if you hack would have any possibility to integrate an news/thread picture .. it would be really fantastic .. maybe it should be seperated from the attachments .. a seperated upload into the threads table .
..hrhr i am maybe dreaming (daydreaming) ..
.. but whats with the option including php code in the webqueries.. can there be placed php code to read an attachment out?

greetings

me too!
Please, would you?

It's the only way to tell if there are users with multiple registrations - something we do want to prevent on our forums....

I'm sorry for the delay of it (and the rest of the hacks which are not yet ported!). I know that "Who might this new user be" hack is on high demand. If someone else is willing to port it, he has my blessing. If I need to do it, I'm afraid it has to wait for sometime too. I really need to release webtemplates first as I have already promised to release it much earlier.

I don't have such a released hack. It should be one of the hacks I gave in mod requests forum. I have literally hundreds of them. So where is its thread?

Webtemplates 3.x (for vb.3.x) is released here:

I could really use the Greet Members' Xth posts hack when you are able.

Thanks

Regarding your hack "who might this user be" perhaps you could release a beta which excluded the password comparison feature for now since it seems that feature is causing the main hangup with releasing a Vb3 version. For me, the most important part of your hack was quickly knowing if a new user had the same IP, e-mail, or ISP as another user. That information alone without the password comparisons was still a valuable and convenient screening tool for identifying attempted clones. Don?t get me wrong, knowing if a password was duplicated played an important part in determining clones but a little info is better than none. Just a thought.

Thank you.

I need a few beta testers for 3.5 version of "Dynamic Forum Home Announcements Hack". Anybody interested please email me.

I need someone who is:
* Already using this hack in vb 3.0 version and familiar with the hack
* Already upgraded his board to 3.5 (latest version ie RC3) or at least has a test 3.5 enviroment to test the hack.
* Ready to install the hack to his board (or test board)
* Let me know the results adn give me feedback

Please contact me via PM or email and let me know your email adress if you meet ALL the conditions above and I'll send you the hack.

3.5 version is coded as a pluggin so it does not require you to hack your vb codes. You can easily install it through vb3.5 pluggin system and can also uninstall/disable it with 1 click.

I've tested it in my localhost and it works fine but my own board is not upgraded to 3.5 yet, so I want to get a few confirmations from others before releasing the hack officially.

Thank you
