Mod re-write conversion...

[Razasharp]

Hi

I've been looking for a Mod-rewrite for vB 3.0.7

I've seen Danis version and the update by Keith - however, there seems to be loads of bugs in there, and it not working for many people, plus nobody seems to want to offer support on that site (or the thread starter/ admin is unwilling to update the initial thread - I even pm'd admin telling them its looking bad on them, ignoring all those requests, but no response).

Anyway I was wondering if anyone could either

A) update the latest version that Keith did as it seems the best ( if it worked!) and post it here (or there),

b) convert the one below that Craven did for phpbb - it worked excellently on my site and additionaly, it only effects guests or non logged in users (I cant see why the vB ones dont also just effect guests!!).

Also C) does anyone know of one that actually works - is well supported and if possible, only effect non logged in users?

i would be really grateful! (as Im sure squilions of others would!)

:-)
