Default Mods versus Hacks
What is the difference between Mods and Hacks, and what are the requirements for each?

I think what he's trying to determine is the difference between add-ons and template modifications. (I tend to think of an add-on as a "mod" and a template modification as a "hack".)

Where add-ons require little if any template modification on the part of the Administrator, template modifications are non-automated and the way we USED to make changes to our sites before 3.5 was released. And I don't miss those days at all!

No difference at all, two words for the same thing.

okay so no difference...thanks everyone for clearing this up. I'm just starting to get the hang of software. I added my own banner, my first mod last night...so proud.

Next up, installing more Smilies. As a newbie to FTP it took some trial and error using FileZilla for the first time but I got the hang of it too.

As for the Google Ads, I see ads at the top (below the banner) and at the bottom of the page. How do I remove the ads from the bottom and place ads on the right side as vertical banner ads? And do they really produce a source of income???

Thanks,
Anne

It's all so foreign to me, everything from AdminCP, FTP, Server Trasfers... I'm scared witless every time I am in the AdminCP so thanks for the words of encouragement.

I USED to be for me too... it gets better over time and recently I encouraged a nice lady on a large site and she also recently showed me a thing or two so stick with it and take your time. We all need encouragement when things "look" intimidating .
