Default hacked myself into wonderful oblivion..

my board is fine - LOL - but I have recently hacked so much, and I am so sloppy about my recordkeeping, that I am going to cringe if a critical update comes out soon... :squareeyed:
But i can't help myself - I keep finding more and more useful things here...
they do make the board so much better!!

Now I fear upgrades.. LOL

Just make sure you keep a list of all hacks installed, and their install files.

i actually find upgrading to be easy, the only thing that holds me up is when code isn't commented properly so i have to use guess work in order to see what's hack and what's jelsoft code.

Hey OK, you were the one who also mentioned to me the 'show installed hacks' button here, which I had always overlooked before, and I use that now, it's a life saver!! I'm going to check the thread you posted too..

sabre, i try to comment but I forget, and i never remember where in the code I stuck stuff.. ugh..

you know adding hacks is such a security flaw... should a critical update comeout and you then re-hack the software you subsequently compromise a security fix. And it wastes all that effort...

Maybe VB.org should have a team of 'release moderators' or a self certified security rating for hacks.

That would be nice...perhaps a seperate page for "Known Security Issues" for each modification...

most hacks wouldn't override a security fix and thats why most coders are urged not to use replace within their instructions.

This idea of hack review and rating has been discussed many times and is still under discussion, but not many people have the time to beta-test every single hack that is released here.
