I said your hack was lame, not you. I should take that back as it isn't very constructive - and I didn't mean to put you down. I simply hate popups, so for me the end result is a bad thing.

Maybe look for alternative ways to catch the users attention - having a different icon/colour is one way which has been done already.

Sorry dude.

I can't say I blame your decision but I also must say that you shouldn't let a few individuals or their posts ruin your view and support of the vB hack community. I know I have appreciated your help.

I agree with those that posted about the BBUsername hack, it got out of hand really fast. I like the hack FireFly, it is neat and it does bring fun into the forums and your decision to only allow mods and admins to use it is probably best.

As for Nakkid, you should not worry about those that do not like you hack or about those are rude, just simply ignore their posts or if you feel the post should be removed, contact one of the mods/admins I am sure they would be glad to remove it (as firefly did) if it is of no use.

I for one wish had the degree that most all of these vB hackers had to make hacks and whip them up rather fast as well as find time to provide support, but I do not. I do not have the time to learn PHP/MySQL, but one day I will find the time to do so, in the mean time I have to depend on all the currect and upcoming hackers here .

I think you should continue to release your hacks, ignore those that post derogatory remarks about the hacks or you in general.

Just my 2 cents

I saw the hack he designed originally and debate using it for a while. But as I started reading through the thread I realized everyone started using the name hack again. Because of that reason I restricted access to who could use it.

Right now he is doing a tremendous favor for me by helping me out with a major problem I am having. The knowledge that this guy can share will be beneficial for all.

Firefly, thank you for doing away with allowing the users to use the hack. As much as I loved it and as much as I had fun with it, even on my board I realized that it shouldn't stay.

The whole thing on people flaming him for his hack is just wrong. We have a no flaming policy on our board. We ban them if they can't understand that. Everyone, show respect for everyone on here. It is because of people like nakkid that we are able to make our board better and unique. Just because you don't like 1 hack, doesn't mean you won't like the next.

I whole heartily agree. If I don't like or agree with a hack, I don't install it nor do I comment on it. Things are taken the wrong way nowadays. What ever happened to the good ole days when if you didn't like something, you ignored it?

Cool hack Nakkid.

no one on here has any idea how much we are losing when we no longer have hacks created for us by him. I was just helped for hours straight with him plugging away and helping me constantly. I could not have done it without his help. No way, no how.

Someone hacked into my database and took over everything. I lost control of the board. Lucky for us we were able to secure it before it got too out of hand, but either way I still did not have access anymore.

Will with a lot of time and patience nakkid got me back into my board, retake over the board, block the hacker, and even upgrade to the latest version of vbulletin at the same time.

I know he worked with me for over 5 hours tonight until we got it straight. I couldn't have done it without him. There were several others out there that helped as well, but I still don't know who they are otherwise I would thank them personally.

I know I have already posted in this thread once, but after the amount of time that was given to me, the scripts, and the patience that he had, I just had to post again.

Thank you so much for the help, I can never repay you enough.

Jason

Could you not have it so that the bbusername function is enabled only if the thread starter selects it to be?
