One thing to note is that different styles are not always wrong. For example Dark, you went around to many of my mods today making code change suggestions. In many cases, it was a matter of personal style.
My style, except for when I get lazy, was ingrained in me while working at software companies where maintainable, understandable code takes precedence over optimized code. So, while your one-line replacements for my code blocks are appropriate style, they aren't what I'm going for.
My goal is to write code so readable that I stop getting silly requests for minor tweaks. I am working toward instructional and idiot-proof when I post here.
The way I see it, the people who need highly optimized one-liners are people who know how to do it themselves or who aren't trolling around for free code mods here
Also, mods posted here generally tend to be refined over time. Right now, we are in pre-release stages of Vbulletin. Everybody is upgrading over and over again. The emphasis right now is to get the functionality we had before the upgrade and get it fast and bug-free. THEN, we can add features and code refinements.
