Removing Installed Hacks and Mods

[Neal-UK]

Is there any easier way to remove installed hacks from my User CP as I have now moved all my forums to 3.5.0

It's just that I have about 50+ for vb 3.0+ that I do not need and it will take a while to remove them all.

That would be mean.

Wait until the IMPEX comes out for vB 3.5

Then install a brand new 3.5 board and import everything.

LOL

I removed all 3.0.x hacks from my "installed" list...

*shrugs* I no longer have a need for 3.0.x hacks... I do have a need for 3.5 hacks lol

Thanks house, appreciate the support. :ermm:

I believe this discussion has arose before (actually, between Boofo and myself).

Some coders feel that installation counts are a way of saying thanks for the hard work and effort that has gone in to the modification. Others feel that the installation list should be exactly that; used to track the modifications that you currently have installed.

Personally, I side with the later opinion and do the same myself.. :speechless:

I am abit of both.
95% of my Installed hacks are just that, but there's the odd one I have installed to show support and to keep in touch with development.

The easiest way to remove the hacks would be to open 10 at a time in tabs in Firefox, then click the Uninstall and hit Crtl+Tab then click again, etc.

Yeah i've removed them from the list.

@ jugo: Think you mis understood.

@ Oblivion Knight: I agree with you, but having them as installed over the years I think shows thanks. But, as time goes on and people move to new versions, why have the list cluttered and e-mail coming through re. updates on hacks you no longer need.

Coders please do not take this as any sign of disrespect, I as well as many others appreciate all the time and efforts that go into all of them hence the reasons why I put what I did in my Favorite Hack section in my profile (It has been like that for some time). Perhaps vbulletin.org should have a seperate 'thanks' section?

AAAAHHHH...Now I know what you mean.


Well when you click install it's not just to say that you have it installed, it is also a good way to show that you like the MOD, use it and support the coder who wrote it.

This was explained to me and I chose to leave them on my usercp....even the vB2 ones.

Support your local hacker and leave them installed in the UserCP.

Honestly I think with the introduction of the new hack database for 3.5, we should be able to search our installations by version - That way you needn't remove old installs
