I`d release my changed mod, but currently there`s code everywhere, no real structure. You`d need to get your hands dirty
That sounds nice. Perhaps all of us using the mod could start a FYI thread for "mods of the mod" which would be totally unsupported -- just attach it to a post and say here it is and no support whatsoever. Then perhaps it would be easier for anyone to assemble all the improvements/fixes into an unsupported but improved version someday.
Right now, I'm concentrating more on running a series of mysql queries to post-process the already imported messages to remove spam and junk plus clean up the looks of the messages and make them look less like Usenet and more like vBulletin.
My biggest concern with the mod (as it now stands) is how slow it is importing old messages. Our host company appears to place anything about 6 months prior on older servers with slower hard drives. It can take days to import a large newsgroup (although the last six months imports in minutes).
Anyway, if Kerry-Anne is also listening (and to keep on topic), I'm sure many of us that have made changes over the years could send her changes that she might be able to easily incorporate into her release?
