What does the fact to offer the possibility of attaching htl files force people to use HTL?

vB.org made a rule every hack has also to be released as txt installer version and HTL now supports creating txt files as well.

Your way is forcing people who want to use htl to make the hack entrys themself.

I don?t see the problem in allowing htl as well (simply make a rule txt files have also to be released)

The second point is "With template mods almost no one will release a non working copy and if they do, trust me no one will use it."
I never said that some releases non working hacks but there are quite a few hacks made for beta or gamma versions that don?t work in RC1,2 or 3 cause the template system has changed.
And for many of these hacks there is no note at all for wich version they were released and after installing you have to read several pages to find a fix here and there and sometimes don?t even find help at all.
(eg. take your Forum Spacing modification as example. )

I think you should spend some time thinking about a better way to manage this site.
Right now it?s very chaotic and not very helpfull
10k members and a few posts only every day speaks for itself.

There is much that has to be done but I?m confident that you get it back on track.

Best of luck

IT only takes a small ammount of brains to figure out if a hack will still work with antyhing, check out the release date

That attitude brought vBT to the position it is in right now!

Don´t you see that it can´t go this way any longer?
Why dismiss every good suggestion members make?

I am a regular board hacker and I speak for quite a few (at least I think so) hackers who visited your site.

It´s your choice how you try to make the situation better then now and I hope it will get better fast but try to listen to the end users like me when they give you feedback why they don´t realy like your site.

For mine (a former, and recent re-visitor to this place) it seems that it's the support for hacks that is the difference between this place and vB.org ...

I'll be sticking around here and answering what questions I see I can help with (something I can't help myself from doing) - and I'll try and release some template mods as well ... I look forward to seeing if this place can become as active as it could / should be

Tony Brad Jon one of you i think this needs to be closed now >.>

One of the problems is that people visit and don't post at all. Just come for the template mods. The community itself is what the problem might be, the posts the place is getting are just fine IMO. Maybe some motivation to post could help?

[StarBuG]

I did 27 posts so far and over half of it was requesting support i didn´t get.

I think that´s the main problem.
If the hack support was better and good rules made for posting and supporting hacks then more people would participate.

Rules are easily broken in any community, though as before, the community is due for a revamp and hopefully for the best. I am simply trying to find the FTP password and the information will be off to brad for the upgrade of vBT. After the upgrade takes effect, we will move to place the newly suggested forum layout (i.e. the way forums are laid out, not new design) into effect.

With the latest vB3 mods, I've made sure that 'Gamma', or 'RC1/RC2' is in the topic of new modifications. So these are for use with the new templates. The vB2 mods should work with all vB2 versions past 2.2.6.

This was the temporary measure before we could put in a new forum layout.
