When you make a hack thread, there is a field "add-on for threadid". When you type in a threadid, your hack shows up as an addon for the other hack. However, sometimes you just make a hack that belong together with the other hack by its purpose. For example, my invites hack and Michelle's e-steki referral stats hack are both about referrals. However, they are independent hacks and cannot be called "add-ons".

Besides, there is only one field, which means that only two threads can be linked.

So my point is, there should be a way to link hacks in a different way than "addon", and "addon" should be changed to "relevant hack(s)" or something. And, there should be a way to link one thread to as many other threads as required.

An "addon" is a hack such as "vBShout on all pages", which is an addon to vBShout 2.0 by Zero Tolerance...

It is not meant to link similar hacks...

Such functionality, if ever implemented, would be in 3.5 only...

I had this problem with my vertical site navigation. It's wrote to be an add-on for amykhar's left or right side bar but I could only put one thread id in so it looks like it only works on one side and not the other.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
