The earlier bug fix caused a new bug to arise. Yes, you may smack me with the cluebat. I f00ked up in my bugfix. *slaps self*
Anyhoo, to patch your install, just overwrite your admincp/hackadmin.php with the new version found in the NEW ZIPFILE, attached below.

BUG FOUND! A minor, harmless bug was found in the Make vB.org Post section of /admincp/hackadmin.php - to upgrade, re-download the zipfile (clear your cache first!) and overwrite hackadmin.php on your server with the new one. If you haven't yet installed the HTL, make sure to get the latest download and you should be fine. Thanks Rein for the report ^_^

Seems odd to install a hack that has long since seen its day and is no longer supported...

[Flow Fusion]

So what would you have suggested? Mr. Woods?

I was still using it till I upgraded to 3.0.7. Now I dont have the menu option in admincp and It stops at step 2 (where it says its adding phrases ) and doesnt show another "Step" button to procede with the reinstall try. Anyone got any suggestions?

Just readd the code listed in the install, to add it to your admin CP.

i have the same problem as xTerMn8R. When i try to install it it stops at step 2. Im using version 3.07 of vb. Is there any fix to this problem or is it not compatable with 3.07? thanks in advance.

are you trying to install it again? or is it a clean install of the hack?

If you are trying to reinstall due to updating vBull version, don't, all you need to do is Read the code listed in the install where it adds code to /admincp/index.php.

The HTL is already installed, you need only use the install script for a clean install.
