Where vB is going wrong - vb.org Archive

I agree....I have no issue with that. The problem is that many of the hacks haven't been ported.

Yours all have - for which I am eternally grateful. But there are many that haven't and one is met with derision when requesting them.

I ported a hack that had like 30 installs. It is a nice hack; but I can't release it because the original owner just disappeared.

This issue *urgently* needs sorted, so that people like me can perform our upgrade without losing dozens of features.
