Important: It is all about trust

No Michelle, but you should not put in any hidden functionality in the mods.

#1 - Paul M is always right

#2 - I know I am in the minority here, but I understand the coder's need for some sort of recognition and status. The more 'installs' a hack has, the more status it has, IMHO - and the more likely that it is a stable release and a useful item.

So I can understand the coders wanting to make sure they are getting 'credit'. It's a very small price to pay, IMHO, for the free service provided by the coder.

There have been occasions when I have FORGOTTEN to click install - not by laziness, not by apathy - usually it's because I am in the middle of downloading or looking at instructions, and then the cat throws up on the carpet, and by the time I go clean it up and come back, and go back to what I was doing, I forgot I hadnt clicked install.

Now I try and make sure I click it before I start anything else.

As long as that hidden code was/is verfied to not cause any security issues, it doesnt bother me.

I also think there should be some way to make a person click install before they get to download the code. I have no idea how it would be done, but it seems like it would fix the issue.

Had to put in my two 01011010101's worth...

A poorly cat by the sound of it.

my cat tends to eat crazy things that the kids leave around - like small ponytail holders, all the lipstick out of a lipstick tube, arts and crafts supplies(sequins, glue stick), we never know what until her tummy rejects it..lol
it sure makes me keep the house cleaner

I'm very surprised that there's been no announcement on .org about the new version of vB. vs. 3.6, which is in Beta on .com right now.

There was a thread talking about it when the site closed for the update, but you're right, there doesn't seem to be any announcment as such. Hopefully someone will rectifiy that in the next few days.
