I support both hacks, I think it's good (as dstruct2k said) to have a level of competition, and improve the overall hack quality!

About the don't want to lose the points thing, I'm pretty sure theres a converter because that hack is running on a big site that used to use Lesane's hack and all the point values are the same. So I don't see a problem with users losing their points, etc.

And I think people should take criticism, where criticism is deserved. Criticism like "certain problems that I've seen arise when using this forum throw me off from using the hack" is something I can see as completely acceptable. But that said, criticism like "THIS SUCKS" is just completely useless and unnecessary.

And as for the user talking about intentional destructive code, maybe you need to note the sarcasm. I don't think he would waste his time putting in code to smite you.

This is totaly off topic .. so let's get back on ... if the code is going to be ported please reply, if not .. can someone else port it? That simple.

I do not believe LESANE's store hack will be. And i also do not believe anyone should port it without permission.

I know that's why I was dircting my post to Leasne himself

Bottom line is no-one is forced too use either Store hack. I personally will not be using Yoshys. Not because of any comments ive read or anything, but just because i would rather use Lesane's as he has become a pretty solid coder in my opinion, and he also gives the best support i have ever seen on any hack, to the point he will take time out to fix anything personally, or help you to change things. And i guess Yoshys comment on adding malicious coding (Whether you was joking or not) did put me off a bit

Just my two cents

yes, he is the best with support of his hacks
he helped me many of times when i had vb2 and loved the store hack when i had it.....

please, update your store hack

If you want to keep Lesane's store hack then dont upgrade the vb3. Its that simple. The vb3 alternative is Yoshy's store hack. If Lesane upgrades, Great I'd love it! But dont pester him or anyone else about it.

Right now i think i'll install Yoshys, to me it's more customizable and i cant wait to see the final ^_^

I know my Community won't be the same without an upgrade. Please reply with some info. Anyways well yeah ... I hope you change your mind.

that guys?

If you mean that guy .. yoshi, please don't rant and flame members, this site doesn't like that. But if you mean those guys .. on vbulletin.nl, then I think you are just unexperienced.

Anyway, if you compare the source code from the store hack from lesane with the source code from yoshi, I prefer yoshi's beta hack over the 'so called' stable release of lesane. It appears more complete, tested and organized. Lesane's code appears to be put in place 'so it works for that situation'. I appriciate both lesane and yoshi in making addons for vbulletin and sharing it. Liking source code over another source code doesn't mean a person sucks, or that one has a dislike for the other. That is just stupid to think. And such a shame these kind of threads seem to be based on those kind of comments.

I can not believe or understand the complete and utter rudeness and disrepect shown to yoshy from DestinyIslands. There is something called CONSTRUCTIVE criticism please use it and leave the it sucks comments out of here.

As far as the question to if Lesane will allow a port of his hack, well it's been over a week since his last post so I would just wait and see if he announces that he will give permission or not. I don't use any store hacks because I have no need for them but I do give props to both Yoshy and Lesane on their hacks and thank them for making others happy by making the hacks they do even after unprofessional negative comments from people that may couldn't get the hack to work or just didn't try it out and passed judgement.

Anyway. Again Thanks both of you for your contribution to the vBulletin community.
