Can you please make a txt file so others can download it and have it for when they upgrade their vBulletin?

Done

Do you really do that btw? Re-install all hacks from scratch using text files? Doesn't that take a long while?

All I do is make sure that I mark any hacks I do with this:
// HACK : START : HACK_NAME
// HACK : END : HACK_NAME

And when it comes to upgrading I search for a list of files that include the whole word HACK in upper case... then I DIFF the old and new files and copy over just the things in HACK blocks... the DIFF engine puts them in the right place

Much easier, and doesn't require me to re-install anything.

Takes about 20 minutes to do the whole thing, and I have a VERY heaviliy hacked forum

It also helps me strip out unwanted hacks as I just search for the HACK_NAME.

Oh, and if hacks required a change to an existing line, I leave the original there but commented out just in case I do want to rollback

Just thinking... do people want variances on the pattern it shows?

So instead of just re-formatting as:
test (at) example (dot) com

It might also do things like:
moc . elpmaxe @ tset < backwards

Or:
test@AUDENexample.com < minus poet

I'd like a modification that turns e-mails into images displaying the image, and makes the image a mailto: link - possible?

In the meantime, this hack is great!
